Oddly Specific Things You Would Want To Go Back In Time To Witness or Be A Part Of

I'd love to see the expressions on peoples' faces during the first successful catapult launch in battle.

The person that designed it had to be be sitting there like, "Oh take THAT mother *******!"

Conversely, the recipients had to be going "Holy ****, they are throwing boulders at us! Eddie was just there and now he's gone. Imma take my spear and go home."

Sometime in 1979 when Hayden Fry is on his way to interview for the hoks job. Run him off the road into a ditch.

Alright I'll try to get "oddly specific" as the OP suggested.

I want to go back and be present at the moment when a business or person sells their soul for money.

Examples: When Amazon decided to run hundreds of mom and pop stores out of business. When Facebook decided to start running ads. When Wells Fargo pushed employees to create fake accounts or sure-to-fail loans. When Harvey Weinstein decided to buy a casting couch.

Go back to 1980 and convince Coach K the Iowa state job is more lucrative.

Then go back to 1972 and tell Nixon breaking into the DNC isn’t necessary and he’ll be re-elected easily.

July 14, 1976.
I dropped my sandwich in the dirt. Still ate it, but it would have been better without the dirt.

Maybe the answer to this thread for you is to Meet Yoko before John and try to not allow that meeting to happen.

Mankind would be better for it, but I personally could not make the sacrifice.

Being on the sending or receiving end of the very first phone call had to be crazy.

Credit consolidation offer, Auto warranty extension offer, or fake Department of Social Security phishing scam?

Woodstock..... watch Jimi play the national anthem.

Go back to 1982... decide not to date who would later become my girlfriend. I fell hopelessly head over heels and 2 months later she slept with my best friend. Needless to say, I had cut those 2 out of my life. 6 months later, he knocked her up and dumped her. No winners.

The NCAA game were Niang breaks his foot.
Just moments before it goes down I would run out on the court and give him a big bear hug.

ISU would have a Championship banner hanging in Hilton today.
