Hey Pandas, If You Could Travel To Any Year With A Time Machine, Which Year Would You Choose And Why? (Closed)

You can travel back again.

I would want to go to 1947 and 1948.

1947 to see how Britain left its most prized colony in a chaotic state, the partitioning of India. I want to gain perspective, and see the hardship my ancestors went through in migrating from India to Pakistan in search of a better life. It'll really make me feel like how Mirabel could see Abuela's perspective during the Dos Oruguitas sequence of Encanto.

1948 to see the perpetrating of the Nakba. Again, to gain perspective on how the Palestinians were driven out and massacred by the Zionist forces. Especially when people today either deny that it even happened or that is was even wrong. How very firm Israelis and Zionists today deny the entire existence of Palestinians to justify the land grab. We really are bad at learning from history.

I find it really sad that I didn't know about the partitioning of India until I watched the Dr Who episode when they travelled there. It's not like I'm that young either, just that we don't learn much history in school (WWI over and over and the first fleet to Australia was about it).

For me I think going back to 1915 to when Einstein released the Theory of Relativity would be pretty cool

Nope. No time machines, thankyouverymuch. I happen to extremely dislike (one might even say hate) the concept of time travel.

3001. I love history but would prefer to find out if our future world is a better place. If I could go to 3001 and see it for myself this might give me some peace.

Early 2000s.

Best era.
No mobile phones.
No 4g or 5g stuff.
Just music that hits hard.
And good times.

1950s. Recent enough that I won't get killed by invaders, but still far back enough that it will be significantly different because there was no modern tech back then. It also happens to be my absolute favourite decade for fashion.

Oh, this is very sad. I felt this way when I was a teen and I'd be lying if I said that was the last time, or that it's been all good since. But I've seen some really great sht, had some really great times, done some really great things that I'm glad I didn't miss out on. Right now I am sending you my best wishes that you will also, and soon.

2019.

It was the year I developed a crippling addiction to the rush of stealing.

I would do anything to go back and slap myself.

Either the 50’s, 60’s, or 80’s. I don’t remember what decade it was but being able to see the Jesus Revolution would be EPIC. I even live in that area =D and, I’m kinda, just a little, obsessed with the 80s. Just a little.
