Despite being connected by technology, people are more isolated and unhappy than ever. It seems like the future is bleak and that there is nothing to look forward to. It's not an optimistic time. We're likely just dust in the world and will disappear into nothing one day. One thing I am jealous of people in ancient times is just how much more interesting and fascinating the world must have been back then. Just look at the list of deities that used to exist: https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_gods_and_goddesses https://simplewikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mythologies They really believed all of this was real. They really believed we lived in a world in which giants, monsters, and ghosts existed and could be anywhere in the world. It's both terrifying and fascinating. It's like living in an actually JRPG without any of the actual dangers of them (Think Sin from FFX) actually attacking. I know these creatures likely aren't real, but widespread belief that they existed seems like a far more fascinating reality than the existential one we live in today. Combine that with the belief that magic, gods, and an afterlife and it seems like we got the boring world. --- The most powerful force in the universe is love ... Copied to Clipboard!

The 80's is about as far back as id wanna go. Living in the ancient past just wouldn't be fair. I'm bigger, stronger, and MUCH smarter than them. They don't have any of the medical knowledge that I do. They don't have any of the security measures meant to keep me in check. I would feel extremely threatened by everything around me.

I wouldn't mind going back to the 70s. I don't think I'd want to go any further back than that.

'85-95'? Id do something crazy like rip off modern gaming. "Hey guys! Check this out. It's called Minecraft. Oh, my next game? This is Portal. Youre gonna love it. Ok. I had this cool idea. My new game is called Halo. It's a lot like Doom, but I tightened the controls & added a ton of weight to the recoil. Cool, right? What do you think of this music & those colors & the vehicles? Now, for my masterpiece.... Bioshock . You've never seen anything like it before!" .... Would be interesting to see how it changes the scape of future games. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Imagine travelling and living in the golden age of piracy. You're just a regular old, able bodied English male, minding your business, when some Navy press gang comes and forces you into the military. Then you work for slave wages on some dumb boat, addled with shitty diseases, until you get boarded by pirates. Now the pirates are a bunch of raping, pillaging assholes, but they seemed to have invented a form of functional democracy that's a better deal for you, so you defect and join them. Life still sucks, but you get paid better and you've got a cool hideaway in Jamaica. That is, until your ship gets caught in a storm, and you survive, only to get stranded in the doldrums. You watch your crewmates go progressively mad from dehydration and starvation as you burn through the rations. You're staring at a gun barrel because your captain has to start killing crewmembers to ensure enough rations remain for some survivors. The sun is hot, you're drenched with sweat, but your mouth is dry. You lack the energy to resist your fate. As you close your eyes, you hear a distant gull cry. Your last thoughts are "Gosh, at least I won't be around to live through 2021" --- https://imgur.com/a/fqY7axi ... Copied to Clipboard!

Sometimes I wish I was around my parents' age. I'd be born around '60, get to have childhood years for most of the 60s, be a teen in the 70s, be in my 20s in my 80s, 30s, in the 90s, etc. I'd get to hear all the great music and watch the great movies that I love in their prime and have the perks boomer had/have and I would be dead before the world goes to shit. I feel like I'm too used to modern comforts and the internet though. If I were transported back in time, it would be a very rough few months to a year. --- http://i.imgur.com/hslUvRN.jpg When I sin I sin real good. ... Copied to Clipboard!
