Title: If you could live in any era, what would it be?
Post by: 420seriouscat69 on December 06, 2013, 11:38:54 AM
I mean I kinda want to be a mobster in the early 1900's, but something tells me being a sailor back in the day was pretty cool too.

If anyone's answer is pre-like 1965 or so, it's a dumb answer.  Why?  Because Airconditioning.

So are we trying to pick when and where you would be born?  If you just take your current circumstances and move them back however many years, none of us would be sailors in Europe.  More like indians or cowboys in the middle of the states.

But if you could take some of your current knowledge/size/abilities back to where and whenever, there are pretty much endless possibilities.  I mean, you could be a stud football player 60 years ago and then bring the spread attack, west coast offense, and read option to football 40 years ago and basically be better than Bear Bryant at KSU.  And be super rich investing in pretty much anything.

Obvious answer is the French Revolution. Probably the most noteworthy event in history(and they knew it at the time) and when the overthrow was complete you got to cut people's heads off for years and years.

I think it would have been cool to be a part of the greatest generation, granted that is IF you survived WWII. Imagine being a strapping young lad directly after the war? So much opportunity.

Also, screw anything too early, I got sick a decent amount as a kid so any time before antibiotics would have been a terrible time. But now I have a super immune system because of it.. Good thing I made it out alive. Thx modern medicine.

I don't think you guys understand how awful the food was really even 30 years ago.  Meat was just fat and grissle, fruit was soft and rotted milk was rare and usually spoiled.  Bread hard.  even booze was not filtered.  And, every piece of food was generally handled by some gross, filthy peasant with dookie on their hands.  Just a gross mess.  You have no idea how good our steroids and antibiotics have made our delicious food supply.

But it's always getting better. So the greatest generation is probably the kids being born right now because they will invent cool crap and be less likely to put Japanese people in internment camps.
