It would have been swell to see a dinosaur

Go right to the beginning of time itself and reset the universe so no bad can happen.
Intelligent life wouldn't attack itself and destroy the planet(s) it lived on.
Pretty simple, you'd think.

I'd like to see what colors their skin had. I'd like to see a T-Rex - but it would be quite a dangerous adventure.

And I always wanted to see a megalodon as well

As for other time periods, I would like to see also ancient Egypt.

I would like to see how some Aspie became so obsessed enough with a dog—that he/she took steps to domesticate it.

Only children who watch The Flintstones do think humans and dinosaurs lived in the same time period, though, lol. :lol:

in our central bible belt there is a creationist museum which also depicts dinosaurs together with humans in its exhibits.

Reptiles don’t normally have as strong scents as mammals.

Some Polish politician claimed recently that the cavemen threw stones at dinosaurs to kill them for meat

And another one states that dinos and humans lived in the same period too, the best proof of which is the existence of legends about dragons

^ Just speculation but Something tells me dragons more than likely arose from encountering skeletons/fossils...not living specimens, or from reports of large reptiles (think komodo dragons, monitors) by explorers which were then distorted upon returning home

But I see his point.

Yeah, at least compared to skeletal structure we know very little about the soft tissue structure and color of these beasts. The best we've been able to come up with thus far is using surviving melanosomes from feathered dinos, or more rarely from the integuments of nonfeathered dinos. But those only represent a small part.

There is a famous Polish legend on the Wawel Dragon

I also would like to see ancient Rome - I won recently two books on it in contests In The Star Bright https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Clifton two children with psychic powers could travel in time and they could watch everything without being involved directly in the events they witnessed - if I could travel back in time, I would want it to be in such a way - in this way no T-Rex would devour my body and generally, no one would attack me

The 90s as an adult, to have a different perspective of it. And to participate in the aliens/conspiracy subculture. And watch Twin Peaks in its original airing.

I'd also go back to the 60s because I'm mega curious if I'd be too much of a square to participate in the counterculture. :lol:

Things have never been super great for women though so I also hesitate to go back in time at all.

I'd go back to just before the beginning of the universe, but to where I am unsure.

methinks you go back as you are now with all the wisdom and workarounds gained through the years of living experience. a time machine would not necessarily reverse time, it would just make you an anachronism in time.

Then I would not want to go back very far if at all because my physical ailments would not be or less treatable, less or no benefits and no autistic community to commiserate with.
