Go back to 1986 and slip a morning after pill in my mom's drink... Oh wait, no consequences? Fuck me...

I’d go back to “old enough to understand but still young enough to do something about it” me and have a nice long conversation 🙂
But no consequences
fair, but I'd argue no one can go back in time with out any consequences. even OPs first bullet could have consequences through "meet the man and musicians". did we not learn anything from Back To The Future 😀
It's magic 🤷
All good answers, but the simple fact you were not self centered but curious and asked what OP would do back, made your answer great. Thank you. Up vote freely given.
Put a large bet on Leicester City to win the Premier League.
The odds were 5000-1, and the last person standing cashed out their £50 stake at £75000. I'd have put £500 on for an initial £2.5m, maybe an accumulator on the top 4 to double it, and live a comfortable life off of the winnings.

Ops mom.
I would [REDACTED] so that no one has to deal with this shit.
Killjoy: If there are no consequences there can be no memory of the event either. Our own future (from the time of returning from the past) would almost certainly diverge from the path of no knowledge otherwise, and that would be a consequence.
As such, every one of us might already have this ability, we just don't remember doing it.

Is it possible to travel to the past without changing the timeline? Even going to a diner for a meal will make a ripple.
