You can choose where you end up. Where would you go and what would you do? (No stupid, unthoughtful answers like. A few minutes into the past or the future, etc. Assume this has to be full on you popping into a different point in time)
I like my wife and son, but if I had to go, I’d pick the civilization we call the Minoans in Crete. They had malls that were ancient ruins before the pyramids went up, women in positions of power, tits consistently out, sunny beaches, and IIRC two thousand years of mostly unbroken prosperity. Maybe I’d get to be some eccentric noblewoman’s pet scientist. Maybe I’d just fish for a living in a sleepy village.
monkey paw law: you travel back 5000 years in time but your location stays the same.
2011 so i can get a head-start on some investments, OR 2020. To get a head-start on a different investment.
I’mma go the obvious answer to some maybe not to other’s. 1985, I wasn’t born yet (90s baby) and it gives me a decade to get a life together before the Microsoft boom assuming there’s no odd butterfly effect with my actions and things happen exactly as they did. Investments, get to know the right peeps of the era, etc. Boom. Set for life and I get to relive the 90s as an adult.
This was almost my same thought. Think i would go to 1980 though. Best two decades in history. I’d definition live the 80s and 90s again. Probably go out in the covid at an old age.
I’ll fuck it up for you both and go back to 1975. I need to do a little prep work on how to maximize my time. But by the time 80 and 85 roll around, you’ll be living in my world now. Bow down to me peasants!
Unless the masses rise up against me…
I just watched a movie that kinda sorta fits this, but it’s suspenseful and a little horror-ish. It’s called The Lost Daughter if you’re interested.
Honestly, they say it’s horror, but once you figure out what’s going on, it’s more like The Others. But it’s still really good.
Do I get to keep the interest rate on my bank account? Year 3000 sounds fun. Don’t know if I could live without the internet again in the recent past. May just as well gamble on the future.
Are you a pizza delivery boy?
