That's not necessarily so.
Your disappearance in the present day could affect your family and friends in ways you wouldn't expect.
Of course it would be slightly different to the butterfly effect, because you wouldn't know what the future was going to look like had you lived as normal, but you'd still be changing the future by simply travelling to it.

I suppose it's just slightly less likely to be on a massive scale.
Unless you're a very prominent figure in society, which might be the case if you've invented a time machine or are involved in using one.

Go into the future, and get another time machine.

I'd go back to around 300 or so AD and see if I couldn't do great things. y'know like loving everyone


travel back into the past and then get drafted into the U.S. army and then go into vietnam becoming a huey door gunner and watch all the VC get napalm and bombs dropped on them and then eventully get PTSD and then become a vietnam veteran and live on the streets and never tell my story to anyone

Wait doesn't only using it once mean you wouldn't be able to use it to get back?

I'd go back in time, find my younger self, and tell him that the future sucks.
Or maybe go and shake Riddler's hand when he was younger.
When I return, some stupid stuff will have happened and russia takes europe and stuff.
or some god damn terrorist group is trying to sell the fact that some stupid mineral is the next stage in evolution for humans.

Return? You can't go forward once you used the Time Machine once lad. You'll be stuck there.

OT:
I'd go to the past and tame a Dinosaur. Because forget robots. Dinosaurs were cool before them.

go back to ancient greece and see if there were gods or not
