If You Could Visit Any Historical Period What Would It Be?
 

I have a few so I need a few min to think it over.

1940s so i can bang Rita Hayworth and drive Buick Roadmaster

I think the most interesting would be around the time Julius Caesar crosses the Rubicon.

Yea, those were fun times :thumbsup

Not actually historical (I am playing smart ass), but I would go to see dinosaurs, the age before they went to extinct, what ever "pleisto" or plaisto that time was called.

Or with some humans around, ancient Egypt would be it.

I would stay until Octavian defeats Egypt. (Cleopatra and Mark Antony)

Perception is reality

Im sure mine are common answers. I have dreams about what a stud Alexander would have been.

New York mid to late 70's when punk rock exploded

that'd be 'walking with dinosaurs' by bbc and it trully kicks arse

you dreaming of ancient times do realize there's no toilet paper there?

1940... SO I can watch the US join WWII.

At least Romans had "ass sponges" (sponge on stick in water bucket), although you had to share those with others. And wiping is not an issue anyway. As recently as last year I wiped my ass with spruce "leaves".

startedsimiliar thread few months ago and i got bashed by everyone.
there's so many possibilities, in my old thread i counted around 20 and its really small list..

yes, ancient rome - ofc.
dinosaurus are - ofc.

in both cases i would like to stay there for some time, live there actually (ye i know it's huge challenge especially 80mln y back, different air, different animals, insects, viruses etc..) for some time.

to see Eiffel tower being build
to check christianity bullshit (aka jesus christ myth)
to see what happend to hitler
see who was jack the ripper
meet alexander the great and take selfie :P

save library of alexandria manuscripts

kill christianity in it's origin before it becomes plague and fucked up the world (same with muslim) ups.. i should stop now i think...

ok one more: visit brothels in every century period in every country that matters...

now bitches come and bash me for being fucked up :D

ps.: who build pyramids, sphinks? temple ofthe sun (dated 12k y old) and many, many more...

actually it's my biggest dream (timetravel)

1500 Italy

I think taking a ride through the wild west would be pretty cool, but more over, getting to walk through the library in Alexandria prior to it being sacked would be amazing.

I'd visit the 1960s for the free love and drugs galore!

1980s in west germany

haha live there for some time
any of us would die there of diarrhea or infection in up to two weeks unless eaten or slaughtered earlier
and what, are you carrying with you babel fish so you can instantly communicate with the people and does the scenario include secured high position in the hierarchy or it's all open so you can end up as a public sex toy or being roasted in a brazen bull

:thumbsup

we aretalking abotu time travel not being throw up to some age as an reject.
assuming i will be wealthy enough to afford time travel i'm sure i'll have everything secured, includind antybiotics and others pharmacies, weaponry etc..
my main goal is to watch and experience but not runnin around like headless chicken - which i assume was your imagination?

1973. I would go to Harvard, find Bill Gates and follow him around like a lost puppy. Eventually we'd become best friends, I'd be part owner of Microsoft, and I'd be rich as fuck now.

Where do you need the antibiotics for? Just pop back straight into hospital if in need to. You don't die instantly without antibiotics. And the people back then didn't die like flies, even though lifespan was shorten.

And by the way, even after one antibiotic treatment, your own immune system is fucked for life, although it restores somewhat in a month or so and to nearly full potential in a year or so. If you take those antibiotics like candy, you will always have more shitty immune system.

Why not just loot him yesterday and pop back to today. :)

Of course this depends about what is the scenario for time travel. Are you young you in 1973 or is your age same as today and you will be old fart by the time you are rich. If the latter, my plan is much better (assuming that time travel doesn't affect to present moment).

After you have looted Bill, you can always go back to that day and make that days you give you the loot, and you have endless supply of money. :)

Question -- do I have to go back as my present 50 yr old "old fuck" self, or can I go as my younger self? :D

It matters, since if must go as older self then the destination would be different. No sense showing up back in 1960 to bang a 19 yr old Ann Margaret as a 51 yr old now is there?

If you leave from present moment, it's old you. Even if it wouldn't be, the young you wouldn't have a clue about the whole thing without some mind changing stuff (like young your's body and old your's brain). You don't get any younger, even with time traveling.

Do some reading on antibiotics instead of making up stories

there is some good ideas here.

Well that just sucks. :D

Hell with it, I'd go back to 1980 and take down that psycho-twit Mark David Chapman and thus prevent the killing of John Lennon.

Fuck the timeline.

I would want to go back a couple thousand years ago so I could watch Jesus be killed and then wait 3 days to kill his ass again when he came out of that fucking cave...oh and then sodomize his dead corpse.

Back to the 70's /80's .those were the best times of my life

I would go the the Victorian era, the clothes etc. seem so elegant. Or maybe the 1950s/60s.

thats a good choice, i'd go back there in a heartbeat ...

Oooo, there are so many great periods in the history... :) Maybe some times with the knights, one on one fights, battles and so on... :) Or even earlier, in the Viking period... :)

The Flower Power period :)
Should have been born then :rasta

Is future an option? let's go back to 3000. : )

However many years in the future it takes for commercial space travel to be readily available and cancer to be cured.

Pre Aids San Francisco sounds like fun - Going back to early Victorian times and 'inventing' all the cool stuff early could be fun as well - As long as you can come back to see what the effects are...

two ideas comes to my mind: kill electricity inventions - let civilization to develop steam and we would all live now in steampunk, maybe not that advanced like electronics but way more cool looking ;)

2nd: on the contrary - pump up electricity by protecting and investing money into nikola tesla and today we would have free electricity energy, all of us including poor africans, free energy for ppl!

(2nd one require some believes in nikola tesla but i believe in guy, he was genius)

Just one of many: 1960's to watch the Ratpack performing.

Anything before 1980 i don't wanna go -Louis CK lol

I have read, have you? Antibiotics are based on killing livings things in your body, and antibiotics don't really separate what they kill, they will kill also all the organisms vital to your immune system (located mainly in your digestion channel). Not all dies and after antibiotic treatment you can use pills containing those organisms to establish new "colony", but the diversity suffers for lifetime. Even after one antibiotic treatment you wont have as big diversity within these useful organisms, as before.

Quoting myself, about the antibiotics.

"Antibiotics have cowed many of our old bacterial enemies into submission: We aimed to blast them off the planet, and we dosed accordingly. Now we are beginning to reap the consequences. It turns out that not all germs are bad ? and even some bad germs are not all bad. In ?Missing Microbes,? Dr. Blaser, a professor at the New York University School of Medicine, presents the daunting array of reasons we have to rethink the enthusiastic destruction of years past."

"Second, as always, it is the hapless bystanders who have suffered the most ? not human beings, mind you, but the gazillions of benevolent, hardworking bacteria colonizing our skin and the inner linings of our gastrointestinal tracts. We need these good little creatures to survive, but even a short course of antibiotics can destroy their universe, with incalculable casualties and a devastated landscape. Sometimes neither the citizenry nor the habitat ever recovers."

I will visit Lord Budha time when there was peace and world was not so materialistic.

Back to 1996 and open as many porn sites as possible. That was when any idiot could make big money in online porn. I'd be a fucking billionaire now!

1250 AD. Not sure what happened during that time, but i'll find out.
