Would you rather: Go into the past and meet your ancestors , or go into the future and meet your great-great grandchildren?

I'd still rather go into the future all because of the whole time paradox thing, but I still wouldn't have any "great-great grandchildren" as I don't ever want any biological children and since I don't have any children now that also makes it virtually impossible to meet any future descendants of mines. Maybe I might meet a great-great grandnephew or great-great grandniece, etc. and even then, that's a very big maybe.

Otherwise if I ever did go back into the past and saw my ancestors I'd only tell them THANK YOU ALL FOR NOTHING, all because your future descendants, the "humans" all turned out to be a bunch of messes and disasters that became greedy and corrupt and are always fighting constantly and destroying each other, always turning on each other and plotting against each other, I hope you are all fucking happy you lasted longer than you all should have, when you all should have simply accepted your fates like the Neanderthals did. At least then it would have resulted in substantially less deaths, pain and suffering for all of history and reality altogether and substantially less harm, less damage and destruction inflicted upon the entire planet altogether. Although I wonder what kind of consequences that would be if they actually understood me at all, obviously they wouldn't.

I'd much rather go into the past and meet my ancestors. I had some pretty important ones. Sorry I let them down. I have some top notch grandchildren, three, all straight A Prep School students, but if their parents didn't restrict them to three hours a day on "devices" they'd be on them all the time. I hate all this texting, "devices," a couple of expensive cars that I can hardly drive because there's so many buttons, lack of services and no more doormen, etc etc etc, now, I'd hate to see the future.

The past.. it would be more fascinating to discover all the people that lead to me then to discover all the my existence contributed to creating.. you can't change the past but the future you can with every single choice you make.. knowing what lead to future relatives and not being to change a thing about the rest of my life even if it's horrible or else they may never come to existence would just be a burden and honestly would kind of be like playing god.. which noone should ever be powerful enough to do.

[MermaidMotel]

I'd rather see my ancestors. I know I won't have any great grandchildren. I would honestly love to see my mother and meet her in her glory days. I know that's not what you meant by ancestors, but.. I don't what conversation we'd have, but I know I'd be a great one.

[goaded]

Do we get to come back? Do we have a chance to change the timeline?

In order of preference:
Yes, yes: OK, I'll try to change anything bad to the best of my ability.
No, no: I'd like to see my parents when they were young, and get to know my grandparents as people.
No, yes: UK leads the world in technology!
Yes, no: No thanks, I don't want to know my grandchildren died for rich people's greed.

Ancestors, because I don't want to have children anyway.
However, that's if I'm limited to only meeting relatives, if I can see other stuff I'd go to the future, memorize the technology or get some blueprints, and get rich when I come back.

[JudgmentDay]

I wonder if "ancestors" included the very first homo sapiens, the "ancestors" of all of humankind, since they're technically our species' ancestors, it isn't 100 percent clear but that's what I went by.

[Goldenskies6]

The FUTURE to see my family 😍💫

[Nxtawm]

Definitely the past! I love ancient history so I would want to go and see how the hmong used to be like when they were thriving

[xKARMA]

Generally speaking, I'm more interested in the future but in this case, I'd love to go back in time and meet my ancestors.

[TsundereMatrix]

I’m a big fan of history. I like to research how people lived. So I would go back in time and find out what my ancestors were like.

[douride2]

Seeing as I cannot bare children so no great grandchildren. I would have to go back. I would like to meet my grandfather seeing as he passed long before I was ever around.

[JSmuve]

Well, its still debatable whether I'm gonna have kids. Or my fictional kids will have kids. So imma go ahead and say the past. I wanna see how how them 17th century white folk speak.

[Mynamejef696]

I can't speak old Irish Gaelic so I wouldn't understand what any of my ancestors are saying but I guess it depends how far back I'm going ha I'd probably go to the future I'd like to meet my future family and see how life and technology changes

[jimyee]

I dont think I'm gonna have children at all but can I still go to the future?

[ZhiHana]

Depends on how far back we're going. I'd probably choose the past.

[Giggletr0n]

What if you went into the future and found out that you didn't even have any grandkids, let alone great-great grandkids? MIND BLOWN!

[Aenetoo]

Great great grandchildren. Or even great great great great grandchildren. It'd be neat to see how we turned out.

[Surely]

The past will explain life today and why things are happening the way they are. Besides, there was pride in doing a good job and life was slower.
No kids to have grandchildren.

[andreasderjuengere]

1396 - that could be interesting. But then, I am not sure if I'd enjoy to go crusading.

[pizzalovershouse]

Nether cuz i mite ruin history but if i could view, it the padt an present through a worm hole event that could only show it would watch the event

[llorando]

Go into the future to meet my great great grandchildren, cool to see what the future is like and what future sports scores are.

[xEmmorixX]

I'm not sure how well that would go for me if I choose the past. The future maybe, but that might not happen because I might not have kids.

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

Great question. Lol... I would perfer seeing my ancestors.

I want to see who played a huge part in Hispanic-Cool-Guy coming into this world. 😉

[Massageman]

Future. Can't wait to see what happens with "Al Gore's Internet".
