TIME TRAVEL: where would you go?

article image placeholderUploaded by @EricG
The rules are you have a time machine that is 100% completely safe and reliable, and you can return right back from where you started, no matter where you go. It also has an auto return feature. If there's an emergency, you carry a portable device with you, and you can immediately return back to the future. So that being the case, would you travel into the past or into the future? And where would you go and why? Something fun to think about

@EricG: 1 of 7 (or more) wonders…

You could start with something as simple as the Pyramids of Giza, the finishing of the Taj Mahal, Machu Picchu, and when people actually begin to live there, thrive there, function there at its height. Right. Because I know that, of course, buildings aren't constructed instantaneously, but just to sort of be there at the apex of these particular sites of history

Or like a state of discontent or discomfort when we say like when I think about it personally I think about how I'd like to travel to the past to the point, right, in America or England right before the industrial revolution

@EricG The future, of course. The past is done for.

I think it would probably be like a few hundred years into the future, not too far out, not to the point where the sun is about to die, but not just like a couple of hundred years, less than that. I think it's going to look very similar to where we are right now, but I think somewhere between a millennium out of 5600 years I think would give us really good visibility into something

This question is honestly a very good one. If someone asked me this a couple years ago, I would have said that I would have traveled back to 2015 or 2014 or 13 to before someone very closely passed away in were to warn them about a condition that they never knew they had that made them pass away
