Lol, these people in the comments who gave themselves a bonus power to turn back time 🤪 I think I'd just go around and mess with people, moving things around and stuff.. And I'd use the extra time to study and prepare for things so I'll have some more free time 😆😆🔥
Do you wish you were born in a different time?
-
Or country? Body? World? Or not at all?
-
@leelah i wish i could born in a place with less people and more greenery.
-
@leelah yes to all. I feel born out of my century in that i like going to Medieval Fairs, don't think of clothes as "costumes" and know which end of a sword hurts the most. Wrong body, cuae this one is worn-out before it's time. Not born at all due to a father that said "you'll never be any good." for more than 15 years. Spent the last 20, ummaking the abuse.
-
@Sabo-go-thud Ouch. At least we live in a time where you can go to medieval fairs. Thanks dad! I understand.
-
I wish was young in the 60's
-
@barryneedsome why?
-
@leelah the music mainly, I guess I'm a hippie at heart
-
@barryneedsome I would like living in that time because of the hope for peace.
-
@leelah also people stood for what they thought was right.
-
@barryneedsome what do they do now?
-
Complain on Facebook
-
@barryneedsome very true. But they are being heard. Face to face communication is very important.
-
@leelah fair point
-
@barryneedsome Facebook has connected the entire world. Almost every country has people using it.
-
@leelah true, I don't use it at all
-
I had to delete mine because I used it too much
-
Yes! A place where there is no garbage or dust or crime!
-
No, not really. Objectively this is the best time to live in so far. I mean there might be a better future, but who could say?
Here is why:
- Health care was never as good as today, globally, for the rich just as for the poor
- 100 years ago 90% of human population lived off 1 $ (in today's dollars) per day. Today, even though our riches are not distributed fairly, the whole populus still is richer then ever before
- 200 years ago, when you were born a farmer, you'd die a farmer (or in a mental asylum)
- We have anesthetics and pain killers
- 100 years ago only 5% of human population (or less) had a proper education, today around 80% at least have access and its getteng better
- in india practically no child dies of hunger today. We'll win the fight against hunger soon enough.
- one can really profit from the diversities of culture thanks to our global communication. I could also lose my head and time totally on facebook, but I'm not doing that so...
- in the west you have free personal choice of what you believe in, what you want to do for a living, what you want to eat. however many politicians are trying to take that away from us, so the future is looking bleaker and bleaker
- in the west we have free speech, which means that even the minorities can speak up and have a voice
So yeah, best time so far.

No I'll leave that literal plague, in the past where it belongs.
