I’d love to be born on earth in about three thousand years.
Oh, taking the Dr. Stone route? I know bushcraft and survival, can I come?
I’ve been to the year 3000, and your great great great granddaughter looks pretty fine…
Awesome, I’m glad they’re healthy.

That’s optimistic of you
Can I choose my gender? If not, then not any earlier than I was born.
I choose to use my powers for evil. I will pop into existence in 2000 BC, 50 yards from the future Apollo 11 landing site. Neil Armstrong is going to make one small step for a man. Then he is going to shit in his space diaper when he finds a 4000 year old dessicated infant corpse just sitting there, completely inexplicably, exposed on the lunar surface.
Makes me think of the watchmen hbo series.
I really liked being a kid and teenager through the 80s and 90s, I don’t think I’d change that. But I would certainly accept the opportunity to do it again!
Maybe this time in Japan, instead of the US. Though the US would be fine too.
Are you me?
Yes, and now they know.
Ten years earlier, i.e. mid-1980s. I would have been a young adult when the Internet was starting to be awesome, instead I was a preteen or early teen.
As for location, the US would be nice tbh.
You’d probably want 20 years earlier, i.e. mid-1970s. Mid-1990s were when the Internet was starting to be awesome. Broadband was just coming out, but the first web browser was already 5 years old in 1995.
nah that’s when my parents were born and their lives don’t seem that awesome tbh
I was born in the mid-1980’s, and Iw as going to say “10 years earlier in the 1970’s” so I could have been a teen in the 90’s.
Sometime in the future, assuming the human race even lasts long enough.
Basically when a world like Star Trek TNG exists.
All my stupid health problems could be fixed.
To be able to travel space would be great, to lay on the moon and watch the Earth. Go admire Jupiter (from a distance).
Work, not because I have to, but because I enjoy the challenge and want to better myself and humanity.
I know for the show they couldn’t really go all out, but I think being a holodeck author would be fun as a side hobby. Could be in a fun working out with whomever inspired you. Hands on learning, anything. Visit places you can’t (like surface of Venus). But also think of like what a video game would be like because you wouldn’t need a controller or VR headset you’re just there. So you could be a Space Marine. Or be Spider-Man! We’ve done reading books, we’ve done watching books, we’ve even done audiobooks… But there you could participate. Or maybe just be there and watch it unfold.
Eh, maybe just a decade earlier so that I would have had a chance to see Pantera play live. Otherwise meh
The advent of computer technology is kind of hard to pass up but there were other things in history that could have been just as interesting on a different level. It might have been cool to be an explorer when the americas were discovered. Ok life would have been pretty miserable but the vast unknown would have been cool. Still would be hard to give up modern medicine.
Height of the incan empire would be nice tbh. Fucking beautiful place to live and relatively comfortable conditions
Except for the human sacrifice
The Incans did very little human sacrifice and in the places where sacrifice was more common, like the aztec empire, it was mostly prisoners of war. Essentially they just moved the deaths of war from the battlefield to the city, they weren’t any more violent than the people of the old world. Even still we probably overestimate the scale of human sacrifice because so many of our records come from the spanish who aren’t exactly a trustworthy source on the matter.
Personally I consider modern places like the US to be significantly more violent than any of the indegenous cultures of the Americas. We just don’t see it like they did.
1-2 decades earlier maybe (meaning: 60s or 70s). Location… I don’t know. Maybe Norway, I’ve never heard anything bad about Norway. Might just be random selection bias though.
Chicago such that I turned 17 in 1973 when the draft was formally stopped… So 1956 then. Then ideally get an associates for next to nothing and transfer to urbana in the now the later half of the 70’s which is a perfect time to get a computer science degree.
Victoria, Australia, 1990s. I say Victoria because it’s not as hot as most other areas of Australia and I don’t do well with heat.
Im always stuck on the point that we never consented to existance, can I simply decline to be born in this hypothetical because I think thats my pick.
2000s USA, in an alternate timeline where world leaders actually fought against the impending climate crisis, Dubya was never elected, and I’m born to a non-toxic middle class (actual rich people are toxic btw) family, and this alternate world already got rid of racism for at least 100 years already and on the way to elminate the wealth gap.
(But, nah, such a world doesn’t exist. Fucking world line convergence fucking me over. I need to like get 10 attractor fields to another set of world lines to get out of this mess.)
Germany, say 1910s-20s. Don’t worry guys, I got this… 🔫😎
you, after completing your mission: “why did I just kill that man?”
I’d have loved it if I could have been there with the Elephant 6 crew in Athens GA during the 90s. The music those folks produced is some of my favorite, and it’s totally the music I’m trying to make myself.
Any link to your music? I love the E6 collective. Most people just know NMH but the whole lot of them were just amazing
Nothing published just yet! I saw the E6 documentary this summer and it lit a spark in me and my mates. My biggest influence is from the Olivias, and particularly I take more after Will Hart’s style (with my best mate being the Bill Doss of our group.) I’m actually gonna try doing some field recordings to try a Green Typewriters-esque musique concrete piece.
