Would you rather live in the future or the past?

[honeydroplets]

if you could time travel ONE WAY, which way would you go, and why?

future

past

present

[mistixs]

Definitely not the past. Not too long ago we didn't have planes or cars... had to walk everywhere. We didn't have alarm clocks. We didn't have phones. People died MUCH more often from diseases that are easily treatable now. Didn't even have air-conditioning, probably, so sweat everywhere.

On the other hand, I don't want to travel too far into the future either, because while the incredible progress in technology has been a good thing so far (we went from not having lightbulbs to walking on the moon in less than a century), I fear for the day we go too far and our technology overthrows us.

When I think of the future, I think the world will be more miserable then it already is. So many people don't care already. I choose present but I wouldn't mind past.

The future "because no matter how long it takes people will continue to seek out happiness... I've seen it over and over, the people who struggle against sadness, those who seek the future, how they all carry on wishing for happiness".
This quote from Code Geass which accurately explains mankind's evolution is why I would wish to live in the future since it will be better.

[IEat70sBush]

Future if it's not so far (millenia) that there's evolved microbes that I have no immunity to and die from as a result. Other than things like that the "worst" that can happen is WW3 or 4 killed off everyone and I'd be the only one there. Which would be actually fine with me, I've always wanted a whole planet to myself anyway.

[BoySittingOnTheMoon]

I'd rather live in the past, maybe somewhere in the medieval times because life was much simple back then. But now there's so many things going on around the world, politics interest me but it drains me in the inside.

[matheus_mb]

Past. Future in uncertain and since I know the historical events it's safer to live in the past.

[theharlequin]

The future is what you make it. I'd go back in time because with my knowledge of modern science and technology, I could literally take over the world haha

[Samuel98ox]

Or end up in jail.

[TheBestUsername]

Definitely a gamble. You could theoretically go back in time with a bunch of technological knowledge and become fantastically wealthy.

The future could either be flying cars and surf while you sleep, or apocalyptic wasteland and or war.

[Curmudgeon]

I could see the recent past, assuming you already knew how events would unfold and could plan accordingly.

[Krodaxun]

I'd go to the 10th Century in Europe. The Viking era has always been one of my favorite time periods.

[cth96190]

I would go back to 1933 Germany, with an enormous amount of historical information and technology.
My goals would be to (a) prevent World War Two happening, or (b) to ensure that Germany won.

[abc3643]

Past - so I could kill my ex-GF's husband before he met her.

[jonny5213]

Murder... then you might get arrested in the past. Why not go back further and give his father a condom just before his conception?

[abc3643]

@jonny5213 No. Killing is better and much more satisfying... Just escape back into a new an improved future in which I married my ex-GF.

[jonny5213]

lol alright then

[Samuel98ox]

I want to see the cool shit we make, also how we handle the climate crisis

[jacquesvol]

It's a gamble.
The past was bad, that we know. We can hope the future is better.
Now, pick your choice.

[Anonymous]

There are some aspects of childhood that I wish I could undo, so I wish I could return to the past to fix them.

[Uday154]

I'd love to live in the past where life was so carefree that I actually wanted to live

[ScottSummers]

in the far future, like 25 mil years into the future

[jonny5213]

I don't know why someone disliked this. If the earth is still around then, I bet it's probably fascinating

[disgustingweebtrash]

The Past because I would know what happens and what to avoid.

[birdie_man]

In the past have the live the life of an warrior 😉

[razor97]

the future has medicine and better computers, but what if is not the way i expecting it to be, what if is a post apocalyptic world...🤔

[Youngsmyname]

Future.
To me roaming around in a post apocalyptic wasteland is pretty neat.

[razor97]

what if you got spawned in "the walking dead"?

[Anonymous]

past so that i can fall in love with a woman not a hoe

[LuckiiTyler]

I'd go past, you'd know what will happen.

[Whatthefluff]

You can never get back to the past.
