Probably about two or three years before I was born. I was a 90s baby and lived through one of the best decades in human history in terms of childhood entertainment. Nick Toons, Razor scooters, sock’em Boppers, and Pokemon just to name a few. Also cartoons themselves were the best that television had to offer. Hey Arnold, Rugrats, and Dragon Ball Z, just to name a few. If you were a kid in the 90s, you were in your PJs, eating cereal and watching Saturday Morning Cartoons, while your Holographic Charizard sat in your sock drawer so nobody was knew where it was. And your Nintendo 64 with the Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time was still warm because you threw a tantrum when you couldn’t beat the Water Temple. After Cartoons, you got your clothes on and went outside to play baseball with the boys while ignoring the girls because they have cooties and you don’t want to contract cooties, while secretly having a crush on one of them.

At the end of the day, your parents called you in for dinner because it was getting dark out and, with mud and grass stains littering your shirt, you laugh with all your friends, knowing that, after a dinner of spaghetti and meatballs, you where going back to your room to play on your N64 again untill 2 in the morning when your parents are finally fed up with the noise and tell you to go to bed.

I choose to use my powers for evil. I will pop into existence in 2000 BC, 50 yards from the future Apollo 11 landing site. Neil Armstrong is going to make one small step for a man. Then he is going to shit in his space diaper when he finds a 4000 year old dessicated infant corpse just sitting there, completely inexplicably, exposed on the lunar surface.

Since I don’t have a lot of experience with many places outside my hometown, probably my hometown around 1985AD so I could grow up enjoying the 90s.

As much as I love the technology of today, I absolutely love 90s cartoons, music, and plenty of old 90s games. Plus the Internet of the time on places like Geocities, from what I’ve seen from archived sites, absolutely had amazing charm to them.

The one thing I wouldn’t like about the deal is the part about being born in the 80s since I’m not a fan of that decade. That, and I am completely unaware of the history of mechanical heart valves and when they started becoming a thing used in open heart surgery (if the medical technology of the time would even be able to pick up the little growth like thing that was attached to my valve when I was born).

Sometime in the future, assuming the human race even lasts long enough.

Basically when a world like Star Trek TNG exists.

All my stupid health problems could be fixed.

To be able to travel space would be great, to lay on the moon and watch the Earth. Go admire Jupiter (from a distance).

Work, not because I have to, but because I enjoy the challenge and want to better myself and humanity.

I know for the show they couldn’t really go all out, but I think being a holodeck author would be fun as a side hobby. Could be in a fun working out with whomever inspired you. Hands on learning, anything. Visit places you can’t (like surface of Venus). But also think of like what a video game would be like because you wouldn’t need a controller or VR headset you’re just there. So you could be a Space Marine. Or be Spider-Man! We’ve done reading books, we’ve done watching books, we’ve even done audiobooks… But there you could participate. Or maybe just be there and watch it unfold.

In the days of the cavemen, with mammoths and glaciers
Bugs and trees were your food then, no pyjamas or doctors

Chicago such that I turned 17 in 1973 when the draft was formally stopped… So 1956 then. Then ideally get an associates for next to nothing and transfer to urbana in the now the later half of the 70’s which is a perfect time to get a computer science degree.

2000s USA, in an alternate timeline where world leaders actually fought against the impending climate crisis, Dubya was never elected, and I’m born to a non-toxic middle class (actual rich people are toxic btw) family, and this alternate world already got rid of racism for at least 100 years already and on the way to elminate the wealth gap.

(But, nah, such a world doesn’t exist. Fucking world line convergence fucking me over. I need to like get 10 attractor fields to another set of world lines to get out of this mess.)

Im always stuck on the point that we never consented to existance, can I simply decline to be born in this hypothetical because I think thats my pick.

Victoria, Australia, 1990s. I say Victoria because it’s not as hot as most other areas of Australia and I don’t do well with heat.

Can I choose the future? Ideally some sort of utopia like the federation in startrek?

History hasn’t been kind. I would probably need to cosplay a business tycoon or something to survive earlier.

If I go too far back it’ll probably be nice. But I’d probably die due to an infection brought on by my autoimmune issues.

Germany, say 1910s-20s. Don’t worry guys, I got this… 🔫😎

Belle Époque Paris sounds pretty nice. I sure hope nothing bad happens immediately after that ruins my vision.

I’d have loved it if I could have been there with the Elephant 6 crew in Athens GA during the 90s. The music those folks produced is some of my favorite, and it’s totally the music I’m trying to make myself.

I wouldn’t change anything. More than happy to be born in the early 90’s in the country I live in.

Can I choose my gender? If not, then not any earlier than I was born.
