How Far Would You Go Back In Time?

Post Reply New Topic

2 ice ages ago, good times.

Back to when MicroSoft and Starbucks were just starting and buy several hundred shares of stock in both companies.

Poverty level sucks.

i would like to go back to 1975, give me the bad hairdo and bad clothes but great music yeah baby.

I'd quite like to visit Britain before World War I (the turn of the century would do me) and find out what life was like then. Sample its delights and see what my town was like. After that, I'd zip forward to the mid-1930s and see what life was like in the UK. I'd then make a trip to 1945, on the day the war against Nazi Germany and its European allies was won - on that day I'd spend some time in London. And then, I think, I'd spend some time in the 1950s. Thing is, I'd probably want to stop there!

I think the only problem with visiting these places is that how would you visit? As yourself, a creation of yourself, as a tourist from a different planet or without actually being visible? An interesting idea, but most of the dates and times listed did not look fondly on disabilities. I mean, society doesn't today but they were even more barbaric back then.

If you're into punk, have a look at Class of 1984. It's a violent film, for sure, but there's quite a lot of punk culture in it.

1990. No farther back then that.

Hmmm.
Perhaps the Elizabethan Era for a vacation, I don't think I could handle the hygene(or lack thereof) for more than a week or so.
The future though...there I'd have a good time.

I'd love to go back in time, perhaps 5 or 6 years ago, and tell myself about my Aspergers, so that I don't go as crazy as I did. And perhaps showing my younger self how well I've done would give my younger self hope for the future. I always used to fantasize about what I'd be like at the age I'm at now; it seemed like the 'ultimate destination' of sorts. I'm sure I'd be happy with what I am now.

I'd just like to go back to right before last week's lottery drawing...

I'm having trouble deciding. A lot of times I would like to visit, but I haven't decided which one I would like to visit the most.

- Roaring Twenties in USA (preferably while rich and famous, enjoying all that jazz with the likes of Talulah Bankhead and F. Scott Fitzgerald.)
- Post 1900 but Pre-WWI America (I like Stove Top hats and the advent of the electricity, automobiles, and the moving sidewalk)
- 1850s USA (probably in the South, on a riverboat somewhere, gambling while listening to old Saloon tunes. No air conditioning.)
- 1700s Appalachia (as frontiersman trading with the still prevalent Indian nations)
- Byzantine Empire under Julian the Apostate (to bask in the awe of a society ruled by a philosopher-emperor)
- Islamic Empire under the Caliph Umar (as a Muslim Arab, so I would get to enjoy life as a member of the upper class)
- France in the late 1800s (a time of extraordinary art and music)
- Venice, Italy, and Florence, Italy, during the Renaissance (viewing the masters as they create their masterpieces.)
- Ancient Greece (meet with the famous philosophers, sail to various colonies)
- Age of Reason Britain (to listen to meetings of the Royal Society--Newton and others. Read Neil Stephenson's Baroque Cycle for an idea of this period.)

ice age!
