| Topic | If you could, would you rather travel forwards in time or backwards in time? |
| captpackrat 01/02/21 11:46:04 AM #15: | People think about traveling back in time, but there's all kinds of diseases that you have probably never been immunized for, like smallpox, cholera, and dysentery. And even in England, the language has changed a lot in a fairly short time. The Canterbury Tales are less than 600 years old and it's barely understandable in print. "Whan that Aprill with his shoures soote, the droghte of March hath perced to the roote, and bathed every veyne in swich licour, of which vertu engendred is the flour". Not to mention being labeled a witch because of your clothing, speech, and mannerisms. Going forward you'd probably still have a language barrier, though maybe not as bad. And you'd be more of a danger disease-wise than future people. Heck, they might even be able to cure you of something you didn't know you had. And you'd be far less likely to be burned at the stake for heresy. --- Minutus cantorum, minutus balorum, Minutus carborata descendum pantorum. ... Copied to Clipboard! |
