    Default If you could time travel one week into the future one time but only stay there for ten minutes.....

    What would you do?

    The only thing worthwhile I can think of is rigging the lottery.
    Which is a totally uncreative use of a super power.

    With such a limited scope on the power, financial gain is literally the only reasonable thing I can think of.
    I co-host a podcast about comics. Mostly it's X-Men comics of the 90's.

    I'd see if anything catastrophic has happened. If so, I'd try to learn as much as possible about that.

    Otherwise, I'd opt for financial gain.

    With the confirmation of the existence of time travel, I'd try to see if it's possible to go back. It also depends on where the ability to travel through time came from. This would seemingly be proof of the existence of a higher power.

    I'd probably go to vanishing point and watch all of existence come undone. Hopefully give me some perspective on my life.


    Edit: just realized I misunderstood the question posed. I'm not even sure I understand it. Outside of the aforementioned lotto numbers idea, what else could you do that would be of any use?

    Ten minutes? One week from now?

    I would...
    Try and pay attention. This time.

    I would strive to not peak at fun stuff to come to know in advance. Or wait...

    I would probably appreciate it being ten minutes. Then again, I'm not to know that yet.

    Although I do. Pff. So much for futures schmutures I guess.

    The hell it's not! That's a brilliant idea!

    Or, I could go to early February, find out who wins the Super Bowl, come back, go to Vegas and bet the works on the winner.

    Same here, assuming the time-travel would bring me to the same location in space than the one I was at the moment of my departure.
    I'd hate to vent into space stupidly.

    Considering the constant movement of the Earth and the solar system, if you go to the same location you were at the moment of your departure you're probably going to die.

    Pretty much the lottery thing. With your smart phone d/l lottery results, stock quotes and pro game scores. Also major headlines to possibly headoff any disasters.
