Time Machine, easily lmao. Go into the past and figure out what actually happened. See Jesus. Then go into the future and see which sports teams will win, which stocks go up, etc. and become a billionaire within a year. Then marry dozens of women and impregnate all of them because I am already a Chad. I just need the money to support them

With a time machine you can make hundreds of billions in the lottery or stock market, you can be the richest man on the planet. You can also predict several disasters, diseases and wars and save millions of lives maybe even save mankind.

Jokes aside, the time machine is the best option. I'm more or less fine being me, although I really need to work on my self-discipline and I wish I was more creative. I'm pretty optimistic that if I do end up marrying someone, we'll love each other enough to make it work. I don't believe in the idea that people have only one soul mate, with whom a relationship would be effortless bliss. With a time machine, I could make lots of money and use it to provide my wife and I with a comfortable life and plenty of time to work on my personal flaws.

getting the time machine would allow me to do everything on that list. I'd go back in 2010, buy some BTC, store the wallet key somewhere safe and get it back in 2023 when I'm old and mature enough to use that money wisely. then I go back in 2016 and tell myself to date a very specific woman over the hoe I was with for five years

He had no choice in the matter. He was only given as much power over the Jews as God allowed.

[Anonymous No.23132427]

>>23132378
Hadrian was a century after Christ, weren't the "Jews" by then the same anti-God pharisees and sadducees that they are today?

[Anonymous No.23132441]

>>23132427
That's why God permitted Hadrian power over them in the first place, probably; but Israel shall not depart from before Him until the sun departs as an ordinance before Him. Christians have been grafted into the tree--that is Paul's metaphor. You'll notice that when a branch is grafted onto a tree, you do not destroy the tree, but preserve it.

there is no world where the time machine is not the best option
you could go back like 15 years or whatever and buy bitcoin for pittance and become so rich that you would never need to work and could devote all your life to the craft and eventually just become famous anyway. and of course you could have your pick of women with all that cash.
if you want to be ultra devilish, you could go forward in time and steal future great novels that haven't even been written yet. you would again get all of the options, and you wouldn't even need to do any real work.
