Relive one year of your own life as you were then Go farther back and live a year as people did then (at your current age) Travel decades into the future but be unable to return Which do you go with? - Results (77 votes) Relive one year of your own life as you were then 31.17% (24 votes) 24 Go farther back and live a year as people did then (at your current age) 29.87% (23 votes) 23 Travel decades into the future but be unable to return 38.96% (30 votes) 30 I tried to summarize them as best I could, but... Option 1 is resetting yourself to how you were earlier in life (anything pre-COVID), with no knowledge of what you became or that you are reliving a year. It would be re-experiencing the year of your life as you did (you may make a couple different choices, but it's up to then-you), but you would return to your current self remembering everything as if it had just happened. This could change your life and grant you some perspective. Option 2 to see how people of a time lived, to also give perspective. You stay as you are today. You would lack modern technology and could not take anything from now to then or then to now (including notes) except the clothes on your back. The most recent time allowed is a year ending the day before your birth. You would have to acclimate to when you choose (including finding food/work/shelter), so if you don't know Latin, good luck in Ancient Rome. You will remember this experience and are allowed to write about it after but good luck convincing people you aren't on drugs. Option 3 is the unknown. You travel to a year in the future of your choosing, any time after you'd turn 100. And then you live the rest of your life from then. You escape the world right now but have to deal with whatever is to come, and must start your life from scratch. Which would you choose? --- [This post adds nothing to the discussion but for whatever reason I felt the need to say it anyway.] <cite>BlueCrystalTear posted [p:967057392] in You gain a...
