Which time period would you live in, and what would you be doing in this time? No saying today or the future

I would go with 70's too. In like 1850 it would be pretty cool cuz u could have a slave and tell them to do anything u want. plus u could get away with pretty much any crime so u could always fuck shit up.

Either the 70s, and just go to concerts and be chill as fuck...

OR, Squaw Valley sometime between the 70s and the 90s, and just be a hotdogging machine and just ski with Shane and everyone.

Anytime between 1820 and 1930 in Southern Africa under British rule. Sweet mega ranches to live on, big game hunting, slaves, very little laws, sweet native culture (if you aren't shooting them), and beautiful scenery.

early 1800's. but in a nice area. your primary interests were just getting food together. You found creative ways to entertain yourselves. just sounds simple.

20's, the U.S.'s economy was so good after WWI, and all this new shit came out, like refrigerators, cars, soda, vacuum, and Tommy Guns. But, that's just me, seems like a great period of time to live in.

Probably Rome during the time Jesus was around. Live in the center of the world, get to see Jesus and gladiators. Maybe take a year abroad and sail around the Mediterranean selling spices and furs. Shit would be tight

people who think the hippie movement happened in the 1970's need to take a history class


but 64-69 to be a part of the counterculture movement and amazing musical events, i would also be in the haight for the summer of love and basically from 66 to 68 and move to tahoe for 69 and be part of some rad ski shredding shit

or anywhere from 1970-1982ish NYC to be a dirty street urchin graffiti writer painting trains all night
