A time traveller comes back from 50 years in the future. You have 3 hours with them. What do you do? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Rules:

The time traveller is able to travel backward and forward through time (max forward is 2074) and they can only transport things that can fit in a small backpack.
You can choose when the 3 hours begin but it has to be in 2024 and once it has begun the timer can't be reset or stopped.
They will answer to the best of their ability but imagine this is a random person from 2074.

They probably didn't travel back in time to sit around and answer questions with some random person, so I think you're on the right track. If I traveled back in time, it'd be to sightsee, or get rich, or something like that. They would too.
