    1995 or 1988, depending on whether or not I will know what I know now.

    the year 200 of the baha'i era (which began in 1844) so that would be 2044. just out of curiousity, to see how much of what i think likely will have actually happened.
    same each for 50 and 100 years after that.

    Same year. I'd like to go back about 20 minutes. I ate some yogurt without looking at the date on it, and it smelled a bit off. Going back 20 minutes, I'd refrain from eating it, and toss it in the trash instead.

    I'd hope that change wouldn't totally f*** with the future of all on this planet, but I've got a lot of work to do, and I can't spend a whole day or two sick right now.

    I'd go to the to year 10,191 A.D.

    The time and civilization of DUNE could be an interesting and a worth while experience with what time I have left.

    Maybe with a little luck, I'd get an opportunity to live a lifestyle as Feyd.
     
  10. Would like to go back to 1918 in the western USA.

    the year 320 of the baha'i calander (2164 c.e). the plagues and pandemics of the ecopocalyps should be safely past and the human population,
    if there even still is a human population, will have been corrected down to a sustainable level by then.
    (though this may be much too soon for homofuricus to have yet evolved naturally)

    The only good thing about the good old days is they are gone.

    2063. although i also like the idea of how quiet the world would have been in most places most of the time before people had cars and electronic amplifiers.
    1450, before europe invaded the western hemisphere, might be interesting also, but i also like computers and narrow gauge trains. and its not steam, its the form factor.
    but anyway, after the ecopocalypse, when the pointy ears and fluffy tails are rebuilding the world with solar powered "mud huts".
    (enough stuff from the ruins to make up for the reduced population's reduced manufacturing capacity.) ok, so maybe no internet and certainly no power grid,
    but no building codes either, and also, other then in some of the villages, whatever the consensus of whoever lived there, not having to have title to land,
    maybe there not even being such a thing as title to land, in order to build on it.

    No, it was confiscated and appropriated by local robber-barons, some of which later became monarchs !!!

    yes and no. this happens in some places, but there is too small a population too widely scattered. it is a big earth, and there is no longer this kind of web of everything being tied together.
    the little train is the only link between otherwise isolated villages, and even that isn't there to begin with.

    There were no trains in 1450, nor were there any decent roads either !!!

    That would be a bitch. Teleported into the future and the world was gone.

    Pretty sure the world isn't going anywhere. At least not before the sun explodes in like a billion years
