Here's one that involves going to the future:

Go into the future, find a patent, take the patent with you back before the invention, and use your knowledge of the future to file the patent yourself, essentially stealing the patent. (Unlike copyright infringement, this is theft because you are denying the "original" inventor the patent.)

Fever_Discordia: Going back in time to April to post in this thread while it was still current rather than necro'ing it? :P
(not that I MIND a necro, just sayin')
I deem this a righteous necro. =D

Fever_Discordia: Other than that, what about lame excuses for going FORWARD in time? Like going forward an hour so the item you're waiting on in CastleVille finishes 'crafting'?
You'll notice that I worded the topic title "Lame uses for a time machine", not "Lame things to travel back in time to do". I agree that visiting the future to do pointless crap is an underrepresented aspect of lame time travel. :P

While time-traveling in the past for an unrelated lame reason (charging money for people in the 1930s to watch movies on your iPad), seeing this man, and mistakenly killing him in the confused hope that it would avert World War II.

Go back into the 80's to see Flash Gordon.

Going back in time in order to experience a fart that happened two minutes ago and repeating the process ten more times.

Going back in time to take my purse from my past self before it breaks. (I don't think this would work as expected.)

Paying for overnight shipping then travelling to the next day to get it faster.

...oh, better yet. Travelling to the night before to see the episode of a TV show you missed and finding out it was already on Hulu.

use time machine to make highly popular posts on GOG by copying people who made those posts.

Going into the future, going to gog.com to see what games have been released, and then going back to the present and posting a list of future game releases and release dates to this forum.

Ah, but if you expect it to not work as expected, then it's working as expected. ; )

Travelling 3 months into the future to check if I'm pregnant.

If I had a time machine, it would be lame if I'd post in this thread last year just to prove I had a time machine.

Awww crap. You found me. I'm not sharing it! Also, Star Wars Episode 8 was kind of a dud. Don't bother.

Wait till you see what they did in Episode IX! Some people thought the Chewbacca's and Leia's wedding was touching, but I found it sappy. At least the twist with Luke leaving the Jedi Order to become the owner of a gay nightclub was interesting, even if out-of-place. (Sorry for spoilers, people of the past!)
EDIT: Hyphen-addin'

What spoilers? Saw that years ago.

Besides, you'll learn in Episode X that the gay nightclub is a super-secret Jedi training order. Gotta say, the lightsabers sure took on some interesting colors...

Oh, did I mention I would use the time machine to convince George Lucas to create Episodes X-XII?
