Time Travel Vacations

[ChipNoir]

Sometimes when I'm depressed and bored, I think about what it'd be like if you could sign up for a time-travel vacation; The whole package includes era appropriate clothing, a 2,000 (deflated ) budget, and one period appropriate means of transportation for a 12 hour period.

For me, I'd totally hit 1987's San Fransisco or New York City. Hit the clubs in my denim vest, bandana, and 501 jeans. Catch a Wham concert, and get to see Nightmare on Elm Street III : Dream Warriors in an actual theater, and see people react to it for the first time.

So what would your time travel vacation be?

Probably the far future, just to see what shit's like. I want to become a space pirate, and shit . I can imagine that shit's boring though, I really doubt there will be faster-than-light travel which will make 12 hours a bit short for interstellar or even interplanetary trips.

I was thinking of the far future too, since if I travelled to the past I'd be stressed about trying to prevent bad things from happening. Then again, if I travel alone into the far future that would suck because I'd have no friends. So...currently not in the mood for time travel. Maybe later. ;D

I want to come along with you Chip Noir. I think I'd spend a lot of time in the 1980's.

Tbh I think I'd just use time travel to sleep with people. Which is kind of wrong.

What if I did that in the future?! And then I gave everyone herpes!? *Mind blown*

In the future there will be brand new sexually transmitted infections which you have no defense against! Like...nano-machine herpes.

Nano machines constructing tiny metropolises on your bell-end.

On the otherhand, y'can go back in time to before AIDS was a thing. That'd be a blast to enjoy.

For the sake of the idea, it'd probably be more of a holodeck experience. All the fun of the past, without worrying about paradoxes. After all, nobody wants to bring home a T-shirt reading

"I went back to the past, and all I got was to be my own dad/mom"

Can I just travel to next week and get the powerball numbers?

If it's like a holodeck experience (god I want one so bad, thanks Star Trek for the dream ) I would probably jump into a shitload of time periods for the heck of it. But I can't really think of one that I'm desperately wanting to see?
I think maybe Victorian England or.... the roaring twenties or..... Hm maybe take a peek at the signing of the Declaration of Independence, that'd be cool to witness. And then I'd like to jump back in time to maybe see the glory of the Roman Empire. I think it'd be fun to witness times that no one has witnessed in over a thousand years.

Wouldn't mind taking a peek into the future, except, well, maybe I would. I think I might have some trepidation and excitement both at what it might look like.

Tbh I'd get more use out of a device that lets me travel to a different world or something
