If you could travel back in time, what era would you choose?

The 1980s and 1990s and 2000–2006. I like modern conveniences and the American people during that time were not nearly so crazy as today.

I would pick the Victorian era, late 1800’s, England. Either that or the location and days of Little House on the Prairie.

The Neolithic.

I have to agree with @SnipSnip. I couldn’t live without heating and air conditioning or without a hair dryer. My hair would be a limp mess.

1860s American midwest.

To live or visit? I could do without the mod cons for a visit, not so much to live.

@chyna You wouldn’t need a/c back then as it seldom got over 90 except in Nevada. I survived the first 20 years of my life without a/c…couldn’t do it now as I’m spoiled, but NO a/c was the only option I had back then & I didn’t know the difference. The old manual church fans gave me some relief. I don’t think humans ever enjoyed being cold, but they adapted until they could get to the fireplace. If you didn’t have a hair dryer, nobody around you would have one either & you’d ALL have a limp or frizzy mess where it wouldn’t be a big deal!!! Bobby pins were the hair dryers. That’s why they only did their hair once a month back in the 1800s & before.

For me, I enjoyed the 70’s so much that I’d love to go for it one more time!!! I think I would have enjoyed to Roaring 20’s, but I know I enjoyed the70’s!!!

Maybe ancient Rome, then perhaps the 5 years of Latin I took would finally come in handy for something other than figuring out the roots of English words, deciphering pretentious mottos and appreciating Harry Potter just a little bit more than non-Latin students.

If I was immune to harm of any kind and could come back when I wanted to, I’d love to see the big bang!

I’d want to be able to choose what class I was a member of as well as the time period. No fun being a peasant at any time! If I could be part of the gentry, I’d choose Regency England.

the Paleolithic Era. Rock solid times!!!

I’d like to see the Great Pyramid of Giza’s construction being completed.

I would like to see the beginning of life on Earth.

@RayaHope You wouldn’t. There was no oxygen in the atmosphere at the time.

What if I could be in a spacesuit?

Interesting answers everyone, and thoughtful. I’ll stick with my Phoenicians though. They circumnavigated Africa for Pharaoh Necho of Egypt so I think they could have made the Americas somewhere. Not near as long a voyage as the trip around Africa.

@RayaHope That would work for a few hours.

They think the first life originated in shallow water, no more than a few inches deep.

You’d be trudging around in mud, in a hot climate with a toxic atmosphere in a spacesuit wearing adult diapers.

I would have loved to check out the roaring twenties!

I keep thinking “No antibiotics!!!!”
Putting that aside I go for the 20s too.

@LadyMarissa what on earth do you mean it never got above 90⁰ back then?

@Kropotkin Dang! You take all the fun out of it :(

@Kropotkin – it would be interesting to watch the pyramid building at the middle stage. That’s when the anti-gravity technology was needed for the bigger blocks.

For me, I would prefer to go to the 80’s where I can buy high tech stocks when they are really low, then sell before they tank.

@RayaHope What a Debbie Downer!

@gorillapaws LOL! Oh yes I know a girl just like that! She finds fault with everything no matter how fun we think it is.

When Jesus was around. To see if he really existed.
