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

Rules:

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. They will answer to the best of their ability but imagine this is a random person from 2074.

Unfortunately everyone is obsessed with anal 50 years from now so it doesn’t go your way.

What’s the paradox? Or are we assuming they’re your grandchild and you’re doing the nasty in the pasty?

If our kid meets the young version of their other parent in the future, they might prevent them to become a time traveler for example
