I’d go back in time to fifteen minutes ago when I had my earphones
Like fuck dude
I just had it and I can’t find the fucking things anywhere
Have you checked the top of your head?
what about your pockets?
I used to lose mine until I glued them onto a headband and used some paracord to tether it to my phone case.
Very few time travel stories every address this and other detriments to the past. For most of history, the past has been a pretty horrible place compared to today unless you are rich and usually male. Even you are those, you don’t have to go far back to be victims of disease or injury commonly cured today. Depending on what part of the world you are in, and how far you are going back, your skin color, spoken language, or physical features may also put you in a world of hurt.
We still have a long way to go to be better, but as crazy as it seems, right now, is a really really good time for most of us compared to most of history with regard to freedom and health.
One side of my family was all farmers. I don’t know much about that life, but I believe the youngest girl would be raising those two babies (while cooking, cleaning, doing laundry, etc), and those two boys would be working the field with the mother.
Anyone who would act like that couldn’t even hack it in a developing country today let alone going back in time. Remember, a dystopia is just a third-world country but with white people and that’s different because, uh, reasons.
I’ll keep my organic farming and connection to nature, thanks.
Though I’d prefer to go back a few million years before humans even evolved.
