It’s 2024, and we STILL haven’t figured out time travel. Or have we? (???)
So here’s a hypothetical for you: If you woke up tomorrow in the year 1924 . . . what would be your top priority? A new poll asked that question, and most people picked one of TWO responses.
44% of people said their top priority would be finding their way back to 2024 . . . while 41% would use their “modern knowledge and skills” to GET RICH.
5% of people said they’d try to find and meet their ancestors . . . while 4% said they’d be fine staying in 1924, and would just get a job and start a life.

(If you’ve read any books or seen any movies on time travel, you know the “using your knowledge of the future to get rich” thing doesn’t always work as smoothly as you might think.)
(Also, if you did track down any ancestors, what would you tell them? Explaining that you are their great granddaughter probably won’t fly as casual chit-chat.)
