Prison Sentence – You Are Sent to Another Era in Time

If it’s 200 years ago, then as a colonist in Canada or Australia.

Though I think history 200 years ago is more reliable than that of millenia ago.

I have a better one. Imagine a present where parents don’t threaten their own kids.

Well if in the present moment there is technology that allows time travel, then it also exists in the future so I’d rather travel to the future. At least the people or organisms I meet will be more accepting of someone coming from the past. I imagine people at least 200 years in the past bein Scared shitless of this strangely dressed person claiming to be from the future. They’d probably kill me. Lol

@brainofmorbius, I’d choose to go 200 years into the future. At least then, I’d have a chance that the same time-travel technology exists in the future, or even a better, safer, more controllable version. Sure, it might be a crummy post-apocalyptic future, but then again, it’s the future, so it might also be a technologically advanced utopia. If we’d gotten to the point where technology replaced all workers and people were free to do as they pleased with life, then maybe I wouldn’t want to come back!

With the past, we know with near certainty that lifespans were shorter and quality of life was worse. More diseases, less technology, longer travel times, more primitive medicine, more war, and more I’m sure. 1814 doesn’t seem like a good time to me. Now 1914, maybe. If I could have been wealthy and avoided the Great War, I could have taken a rickety bi-plane and toured the world…that would’ve been cool.

I’d go to an era before there were any eras. Before humans mass populated the earth. At my hearing when the judge would ask me why I would want to go to such a time, I would bring up the argument that society as it is today played a crucial role in the motivation that influenced my crime. And maybe if I existed in a world without a society such as this, I could learn to live, hopefully in someway as a decent man.

The judge would then go on to tell me how preposterous my argument is, and that it does not excuse my crime of teaching people how to fly.

Also, why just 200 years? I want to go back and see when humans first left Africa. Would be cool to see (in a manner of speaking of course) the birth of our species, or at least the beginning of our rise to where we are today.

I could teach them advanced technology (by Paleolithic standards anyhow) and we’d be colonising the galaxy in the current day haha..

can you bring food ?
