I voted for myself, of course. I don't think I've ever been a poll option before. :)
 
After watching a film sort of about it yesterday I've been reading up about the Dyatlov Pass incident in 1959, very interesting and a bit spooky indeed.
 
Do I have to stay in America? If so as a black male you've given me bad choice, bad choice, worse choice, and prehistory.
 
I definitely think this is the best era to live in, but what I wouldn't give to have a TARDIS!

I'd love to visit Ancient Greece and Rome.
 
"Interesting times"?

It's been my long held understanding that this phrase, "interesting times", referred to an old and/or traditional Chinese "curse", "May you live in interesting times.", where the word, "interesting" had a negative meaning, or implication. With this in mind, I believe that "now", today, this decade, this era, ....... hell, this minute, is an incredibly "interesting" time. We, as a species, have an opportunity and the ability (Really! No kidding!) to finally do wonderful, meaningful, and spectacular things for ourselves, but sadly, it looks like we'll continue to do whatever we can to isolate, dominate, alienate, and annihilate, each other, individually and/or en masse. But, in keeping with another, now nearly forgotten phrase, "Keep the faith, baby." The small pockets of "uninteresting" goings on are well worth searching out, and involving ourselves in. At least, that's my take on it.

I do have to say that I've always wondered "what" the North American continent may've looked like, 10,000 years ago. As far as the other choices are concerned, ..... Well, I was heavily "involved" in social, political, spiritual, and environmental awakenings, as well as good ole "sex, drugs, and rock'n'roll", in the 1960s, and I gotta' tell ya', it's all been downhill, ever since, but like they say, "hope" springs eternal. It sure as hell better! We totally fucked up the last century, and it looks like we're well on our way to doing the same to this new one.

An "interesting" poll, but I think I'll move on to something with a little more "erotic" content. Now, do I post this, or not? Decisions, decisions.
 
I would like to revisit the 1960s but since I was in a defence establishment, threatened with destruction during the Cuban Missile Crisis and how close we came to an all-out nuclear war - thank one Russian sub-commander for saving the world - just one wrong move and we would have been crisped.

The 1960s could easily have gone horribly wrong.
 
Well, now we're going to have the timeline of before Covid 19 and after Covid 19
 
Now, I would agree to classic do-over, back to nineties, in a heartbeat, but who wouldn't. Or alternatively, I wouldn't hesitate to jump 20-50 years forward either -- more is little too scary, but might follow as a bonus, given the resources. We might be one of last generations to die of "old age," the children of children who's being born today may not already. Not that they will be otherwise immortal, not.

This is best times we ever had, so far, or for a long time at least, and by bad luck will ever have again, I'm afraid.

Well, I don't remember much. That episode in my "biography," it's kind of prehistoric, but high tech somehow, above today even, but I didn't enjoy it, I sorta know it. The life as a viking berserker warrior was kind of fun, but I did couple of horrible, horrible things then again too; perhaps seventh century AD, perhaps ninth, hard to say. I believe it was one before the previous. Last was short and kind of stupid: I can't quite place uniforms of those soldiers that raped me to death as a young German(?) peasant girl; I assume sixteenth century, but might been as late as Napoleon's wars. Twelve-thirteenth century, and the first world war I have memories about I know are false, just from the amount of studying, reading and dreaming.

I have thought a lot where I would go with a time machine to maximize impact on the course of civilization, and admitted my intended mission likely to be impossible. Best would probably be to go back to ninth century, establish a house and a foothold, and then hop forward in increments to the start of thirteen century and try to make a difference then. That's a huge operation assuming practically unlimited resources in a future starting date, then, it involves backwards time travel with could easily be the only hard impossible in this universe.

My youthful capacity was enormous. I was drunk once in my twenties after an all-night party fueled with duty-free booze.
 
Speaking of the 1960's, this pandemic lock-down is slowly becoming the 2020 version of Gilligan's Island. :)
 
Remember the far-out artsy girl in college? She had an odd aroma (neither drugs nor perfume) weird jewelry, majoring in something we’d never heard of that would never provide employment? She was bat-shit crazy, yet we were all still very curious? ;)

Hmmm, maybe that's the real purpose of art college.
