That's kinda upsetting

I could never figure out why history would change even if you could travel in time. If I could travel in time, I'd probably go a few thousand years into the future to see what happens. I'd be trusting in the benevolence of our descendants, but can't see any reason why they wouldn't be curious either to have a living time-capsule among them.

Before my buzzkill, Weaselbunny had previously said:I'm with you Weaselbunny. It's the upsetting parts of the human condition that drives me to work so hard on the solutions. A lot of movies and stories about time travel have the protagonist going to some time and trying to change things, make them right, prevent some disaster.

Well, here we are. There's plenty that needs fixing, and disasters that need averting. We can try to fix them one-at-a-time or come up with ways to change as much as possible all-at-once.

The Return button on my time machine is currently out of order, and it looks like there is plenty to do here...so I just have to pick what to do next. Anyone with me? :P

Weaselbunny, how did you do that, making the dice appear? That's neat!

So, we've got a pair of time-traveling but stranded, not-normal, iconoclastic, speed-freaking, space-hopping, planet-saving wannabees.

What to do first? How would you prioritize this mess? Remember, without much help, we can only completely solve one giant problem per day.

Which one would you pick Weaselbunny? Ladies first! :P

I don't know if you folks read "the light of other days" by Arthur C. Clarke and Stephen Baxter.

There they write about hooking up a time viewer to one person and follow the lineage back into time, the complete evolutionary live backwards.

(something of the same extent is also written in "Pastwatch, the Redemption" by Orson Scott Card, kind of historical novel on Columbus)

Now that sounds like fun, hopping past my descendency.
