What would be the least impactful way of using time travel?
Started as a shower thought (literally in the shower), but decided to make it more open-ended.
My answer to this would be "watch future seasons of anime that I am waiting on".
I don't see how that could cause a huge ripple through time.

Traveling a second back in time to scratch that itch before it even happens. Maybe going back in time to tell yourself not to order that taco bell. Skipping forward in time to skip a hot pocket cooking in the microwave. Traveling a couple of minutes into the future to skip a boring conversation with the officer that pulled you over.
Here's the real question, if it's possible to time travel isn't it just part of the timeline even if it doesn't seem like it. If you could traverse forward and backwards in time like a tape deck isn't it already laid out including all of the time traveling you'll ever do.
Oh wow, skipping a microwaving hot pocket just reminded me of the movie Click and how SPOILERS FOR CLICK it just adapts and starts fast forwarding through shit it doesn't think he wants to see until he realizes he misses those things
I like the idea of someone traveling through time like the Terminator for mundain things like this. Always ending up naked, leaving scorch marks everywhere, and just casually doing it in front of people without any warning.

Skips time ... Cuffed on the floor
Or you travel through time like the Terminator. You find yourself completely naked with the cop having an existential crisis as he questions if any of this is real and the smell of bacon fills the air.
