You must pick a point in human history before the 1950s to be spend the rest of your life in. What era and place would you choose? (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

You would still have the same age, gender, personality, skin color, etc. and you would be able to speak at least one local language and would know basic information of the era and place. Your family, social standing, and such would be randomly picked.

Dec 31st 1949.

I'm a queer woman, so these sort of time travel questions boil down to preserving as many rights as I can.

What is the significance of that date?

[–] [email protected] 16 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Its as close as possible to now before the 50s

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Fair enough, though at that point you'd probably get better results if you went further back. The 50s were...really bad.
