I thought of that era as well. Frankly I'm looking forward to 2022 when things get back to normal

Time Travel: Where would you go?
- Thread starter JamesIII
- Start date
Back to 1967-72, the greatest period in rock & roll, to see some of the legends in concert. Only downside to that, I would also probably be draft-eligible, and that would really, really suck.
You've got a time machine. burn that card and dodge the draft, BACK TO THE FUTURE...
You're overlooking the worst part of it anyway.
60's bush...LOL
As long as I would be assured of not being instantly killed, captured and/or tortured or studied like a lab rat I would love to go into the future about 100 years or so. Make sure that my progeny survives and if so find out how I could invest now to make sure that THEY were filthy rich and safe from whatever whackadoodle shiat will be going on then.
And as for 'it';s all going to fall part in the future' and all of that? Well, I assure you that after the first World War and the Spanish Flu right after that the people then had every reason to believe things would be worse than we think they'll be. And yet we're still here.

It would be hard to pass up a safe trip to see dinosaurs, but then again I would love to visit the future.
I know life expectancy isn't great.. but there's something alluring about the Victorian Era.. especially Britain.
I would travel forward in time to the the very place and moment when humans discover how to travel backwards in time, and shout:
GOTCHA BITCHES!!
GOTCHA BITCHES!!
I'd like to go to Rome or Egypt when they were at the height of their powers... for about a day or two. I'm sure it would be bizarre to just walk around amongst the bazaars and talk with people, especially if I had to wear time period clothes and eat the food.
Also, I'd like to see what really happened at Roswell. And nail Cleopatra, Marilyn Monroe, and Pocohantas. If I knew I wouldn't die, I'd like to see Stalingrad at the height of battle just to see literal hell on Earth.
Be cool to run around Paris with Ben Franklin, too.
Dinosaurs, of course, and that weird time in American prehistory when there was megafauna like direwolves and giant horses.
I assume I get to ride in a phone booth with a stoner and occasionally talk with George Carlin in a trench coat.

Less fatties and cows during the 60s as junk food not yet mainstream. Many babes in fine shape
I'm 39. Even in the 80s and 90s people were in much better shape (although the clothes were not flattering).
Based solely on pictures, the average person was a lot better looking in the 60s and 70s than now.
It would be pretty fun to be a day ahead of Sir Edmund Hillary and just be sitting on top of Everest with a big fat doobie. “What took you so long bro?”

Actually you’d be a better person if you had served (if you haven’t)
Can you imagine being able to take modern weapons back to ancient wars?
Those muzzle loading Red Coats would have been mowed down before they got to their gunpowder sack. War would have been over as quickly as it got started.
You could have ruled the world with a Sniper rifle and a fully automatic weapon.

I would get a book with the outcome of all sporting events and go back 50 years and just start gambling. I'm surprised nobody else has ever thought of that.
They should make a movie about it.
That's exactly what did happen when Spain conquered the Aztecs & Incas. Their horses, steel swords & armor, and guns overwhelmed them both physically & mentally.

I would go back to 1948 and be Kentucky’s best player on their National championship team and then come back to present day and make post on rafters about how good I was.
I read it years ago. Really enjoyed. Historical are about the only books I read. Really enjoy the Revolution period.
I think I’ll add something like this to my previous post. I’ll hang around until 1920, find Basil Hayden, and cross his weak *** up. Hang 50 on the entire team, one-on-five. I’d be the first UK all-American instead of that sluggard. Name in the rafters at funKYcat court at Rupp Arena at Lexington City Center.
COUNTERPOINT: funKYcat75 is a *turrible* name for a bourbon.
