I would call the hotel JFK was staying at, social engineer my way onto a call with JFK or a close representative and convince them to take a different route or run a decoy convoy first. Something. I think the ramifications would be big. Maybe rfk wouldn’t have so much power, but one can dream.
It was Alexander Graham bell that invented the phone right?
And apparently ‘hello’ was invented as something to say on the phone to start the call. But they debated using ‘ahoy’.
I’d call him the very second he invented the phone and go ‘Hello there telephone guy. I’m calling from the future. ‘Ahoy!’ ??? What were you thinking man!?’ and then hang up.
I would have called the speaker of the house and told him not to vote to give LBJ war powers. We should not have been involved in a civil war in Vietnam. Think of the lives that could have been saved.
Feel free to conduct an investigation at second avenue at the secret headquarters of the twelve monkeys. There the ones who are going to do it. I can’t do anything more now, I have to go, have a Merry Christmas!
She just passed away in April 2025 at 97 and although I held her hand and told her I loved her and it was ok to rest, I never said thank you for everything she did for me.
I’m calling Robin Williams to tell him that the world loves him and he’s made a difference. We want him to stay but if he needs to go, we will keep loving him anyway.
I’d call myself around 2014 or so to tell earlier me that Dad is going to get Alzheimer’s and you need to move immediately to secure all financial documents and to make sure the home insurance gets paid because he’s going to blow it off. Also find a way to get his driver’s license away from him.
I’d call Sinéad O’Connor right before she tore up the picture of the pope on SNL. I’d tell her that no one was going to understand, but that time would vindicate her.
This past week, two of my cousins just passed away in a violent car crash because the driver fell asleep behind the wheel. They were little brothers to me. I’d call them 30 seconds before the crash to wake them up 😢I miss them so much already and I will miss them for the rest of my life 😞
I’d call my kitty, Boots, who I had to let go several months ago. I’d tell him that I loved him again, that I miss him so much, and I’d thank him for such a wonderful 12 years of love and friendship. I’m sure he’d rub on the phone and give his little “Mmreow!” Like he always did. 💗
I’d call Andrew Jackson and tell him I was one of God’s angels. Then I’d tell him he was about to die and go to hell for his sins against humanity and his cruelty towards Native Americans. I’d start the call right after he told his friends and family that he’d see them all again in heaven. I hate that man. If the Christian God is real and there is a hell, I know who I’m looking for when I get there.
I would call my grandmother before her brain melted and tell her she is loved and not to be scared. I woild beg her to put in writing who she should be cared for so she can be surrounded by famoly when she goes into the great goodnight instead of poorly paid strangers in the home my uncle dumped her in after draining her account.
“Hey Chuck. Leave work and go to the hospital in town. No, the good hospital. Trust me. We’ll meet you there. Go now. Tell them it’s a pulmonary embolism. Yeah, like Dads.”
I would literally give my right arm. Maybe even the left one too.
If I got one 30-second call to any moment in history, I’d call Alan Turing in 1952. I’d tell him, “Hey, your work changes everything computers, AI, all of it. Please leave the UK, they won’t treat you right. The future sees you as a hero. Stay safe.
I’d call my dad. He passed away when I was 6 & my brother was 9 months old. I’d tell my dad that the doctors didn’t know he had colon cancer before it was too late, & fight like hell. I’ll never know if earlier treatments would have been enough to save him with the treatments they had in 1974. My parents only had 10 years of marriage together. My mom did an excellent job despite being widowed at age 36 years with 2 young children. They deserved a longer, better life together. ❤️
My grandpa. He died before I was ready to come out to the extended family as trans, but he knew because mom outed me. He never said anything nor treated me any differently.
Still, I’d jump at the chance to actually come out to him.
On 27th June 2009 id call Steven Hawking and apologise for the late notice, but something come up and i wont be able to attend his party on the following day
“If you don’t allow the recounts to finish you will be executed for treason in 2003 after the coup progresses to the next step when they start covering their tracks.”
Myself as a teenager. Ask for an ADHD assessment. I know it’s something they think mostly affects boys, but it turns out that girls might need help too.

My grandmother before she passed.
She just passed away in April 2025 at 97 and although I held her hand and told her I loved her and it was ok to rest, I never said thank you for everything she did for me.
I would call my dad right before he died and beg him not to do it.

I’d call Ea-Nasir and ask him why he was selling such bad quality copper, and treating his clients with such contempt.

Just call my parents and hear their voices one more time. A bonus if they both laugh.
I’m in my 60’s now and i never stopped missing my parents.
I only need 7 words; 28th of April 2010.
“Gordon, remember you are wearing a microphone”

To my dad.
8am the morning he was murdered.
Well him not to go to work that day.
Just come home.
Fuck work.
It’s not worth your life.
