2011 or 2012, then I would have told my crush that I loved her.
I didn't and now I'm always stuck wondering what could have been. And I still regularly get dreams about her.

As a person who's studying Archaeology and did study History, there's too many eras, years, countries to even list it here [Most of them are before 16th century].

Lol I'm married now and she has a boyfriend xD

I don't want to go out of my way anymore to find out what could have been. We've both moved on.
Who knows, maybe one day we could meet up and talk about our past and teenage feelings, but it's too early (We're both 27). It feels more appropriate to do it when we're older, like in our 50s or so...

@Illuminatli ohhh nooo lmao but as long as your happy with this timeline but that's good reminiscing on things that we have no clue what could have been could be a huge like waste or just heartbreaking ! i'm just learning to stop thinking that way and that everything will align in my life eventually so im glad for you !!

@deadcowwalking I always liked history, chivalry medievial-ancient times, got infected by it mainly because my late father used to have a replica of 2 longswords and one crossbow from middle-ages with which I was having fun as a little few year old kid. Aswell as he didn't know any kind of kid shows, so he was putting such films/series as King Arthur [2004], Thibault ou les croisades, Gladiator, Troy etc. Which I have rewatched too many times...

For what interest me inside those studies - Knowing the past, Understanding it, Discovering it [Physical Excavation Site job], aswell as most of the stuff which is from Copper or Bronze Age up to the end of Middle-Ages, everything which happens when Gunpowder begins to dominate the world is no longer interesting to me.

I think The Jazz Age which was in 1920s/1930s, because jazz music and dance styles got more popularity. Those that were really famous and lived then and maybe witness their performances and such from that era would be cool.

Also in thirties there was 'golden age' for classic films + 40s/50s.

But maybe more realistically I'll go to 70s which was golden decade for modern time films.

I lost plenty of my art works in 2010s because I trusted too much those places where I originally created them and didn't have alternative saving place so I lost them and also I lost contact with my online friends because I got too busy and couldn't read their replies and such which upsets me quite often lol so maybe I would do that the most..but if I wouldn't want to fix these mistakes then I'll go to 70s

2012, 2013, or 2014. Arguably the best time in history for the internet, social media, anime, and comedy. No oversensitivity, no sigma podcasts, no overstepping by companies in games or websites, no Tiktok cancer, no everything must be a political commentary. Was truly a time to be alive.

Time travel is not for the weak. You can fuck things up if you are not careful. There are rules and it's a serious business. I would probably go in the 70s because music was cool back then.

Hmmm not sure if I wanna go back in time, that just means I have to wait longer for any chance of my own robot... But going forward in time would give me less time with my friends and family so as boring as it may seem I'd go back in time at best like two weeks, pretty sure about two weeks ago I had a really nice steak for dinner.

I'm pretty consistent to my answers in these sorts of questions.
I would travel back to 1950s Great Britain. I just think it looks a lot simpler of a time, plus I just adore steam locomotives, I would just love to sit at a station or cutting all day and watch them.

Definitely to the year when I was 5 years old
I was so happy, physically healthy, happy family, all my life is full of fun and games, no worries no regrets, no chronic pain

Now I am physically chronically pain, difficult to sit, everyday pain. Mentally heavily depressed. Basically a NEET due to those conditions

depends. am i my current me or am i physically reverting to whatever age i was during that time?

if it's the latter, i'd probably go back to 2013, start of 7th grade. id give anything for a do-over of my teen years.

if im physically the same as i am now, just in a different time period, id probably go back to the 80s-90s. just seems like it was a better time to be alive.

just to avoid giving always the same answer (being born in the late 60's in order to be a teenager during the entirety of the 80's), i'd settle for less and return to early 1990, because that's when i still have my very first memories at 4 years old in kindergarten. Even without retaining all the future knowledge, just to discover if this time i would have made some slightly better choices in life (beginning earlier basketball, anime, following radio stations, going through my blond hair / colored contacts do-over even before starting my first job) and avoided to turn out in adulthood as the giant pathetic loser / extreme doormat that i've become...at least, not in the same exact amount. It's not about having significant others, continuing the blood line or similar... just avoiding the rabbit hole of self-hate.

Can I stay there? If so it'd be like 2006 so middle school. Doing everything right in school, signing up to every website I use now with my preferred username. Experiencing youth without untreated depresssion would be great.

1519 so that I can join Cortes in his stroke of artistic genius.

Cortés burned his ships refers to a historical event in 1519, when the Spanish conquistador Hernán Cortés ordered his men to destroy their ships after landing in Veracruz, Mexico. He did this to prevent any possibility of retreat and to motivate his men to conquer the Aztec empire. The expedition was successful and resulted in the colonization of Mexico by Spain.

I wouldn't, but in the spirit of the thread, I'll say 30-33AD.
Summertime days, passing gently
Sunlight, leading to an encounter;
Dreams that don't want to end
Continue onwards toward the next day

What are you specific thing are you having in mind? Something about privatization of a lakes and streams near a reservation or something? Water privatization is a pretty big problem.

@Sintegra I saw your post before it was deleted. Despite what people think the Aztec weren't a bunch of death god worshipping savages. Mexico tell the truth about the Aztecs.

The thing with history is we accept Europeans account of what happen. History Europeans tell you is a lie, if read that history you realize a lot of it doesn't even make sense.

@traed And so is stealing land.

It's seem something happens native or blacks every acts like nothing happen compare something that's completely different.

I would go back to 1927, in the United States. A lot of events went on during that year. Charles Lindbergh and his 'Spirit of Saint Louis' plane, the economic boom, the energetic culture, the construction of Mount Rushmore, emergence of interesting technologies and sports events like Babe Ruth delivering homers. I read a book about the topic on hand and I want to see America as exciting place to be in compared to the rest of the world at the time.

then never join the crap college I did. gangwars, prof strikes the place was shut down by cops, we barely had classes, they didnt even complete the syllabus. wasted my life, would have been better off doing a remote course, and taking up those modelling offers. could have retired as a soap opera side char actor by now with 15 mil in the bank. local money not usd but still good enough than whats it is now.
