History

If you were able to travel back to a certain date which would it be? e.g. 1938 nazi Germany.

Mine: Some time around the 9th and 11th century during the Viking period. There was some great battles, settling/finding new countries (Vinland etc) and every had an epic time drinking mead.

What a great life would that be.... :/
Being on the same boat as Leif Ericson when he found Vinland would have been awesome.
Parent
Do you know why he found it ? He was a thief and he had to leave his own country, he just sailed away.
Parent
Well he was an outlaw so what do you expect. He brought all new possibilities to the know-land back then with his exploration too.
It's the same as Grettir the strong, he was an outlaw, yet I'd still like to have been around the same as him.

also, besides there being many outlaws in those days, Leif the lucky was also part of a 'known' family who found various countries and so forth so it would have been interesting (for me atleast) :)
Parent
I don't think you would enjoy such a life they had. You would wish back this time very quickly.
Parent
Not really, no...
Parent
Coldness & missing abodes, missing food, diseases over diseases, death with ~30, blood and thunder, missing teethes, smellness, maritime disasters, injustice, slavery etc etc

amazing time
Parent
All that can apply to modern day times too.
I guess it's just the experience of being there would do it for me.
Parent
But not comparable to that times, especially not compared to ur place on earth.
Parent
just like modern day Germany!!!....they had it good imo..
Parent
slavery?maybe in your kitchen but not in germany!;D
Parent
are you scandinavian btw or welsh?:o
Parent
I'm Welsh but just got Scandinavian ancestors. I just like reading up on ze good ol' family trees.
Parent
would enjoy that too,although i got no known scandinavian ancestors(only the ones who came from scandinavia to middle europe when some germanic people left scandinavia :o)
Parent
far back to zeh 80's!!

not.
well i wont travel back to some historical date. but if i would have the chance i would travel back to avoid some mistakes i made in the past...
I would travel back to yesterday and go to bed earlier, am fucking tired today.
edit: omfg what a failure comment that was XDDD anyway im gonna cry now :(
Parent
what did you say before edit?
Parent
you dont wanna know :D it failed miserably ^^
Parent
lol, I will get some sherlock to spy on it, maybe there is still a chance to find out!
Parent
sherlock is dead!!!!!!
Parent
watson is alive tho?
Parent
he died in concentration camp with cuttys grandfather(or whoever it was :D)
Parent
Hampster you mean.
Parent
heck, i dont know :P
Parent
roflmao ur so fucking funny xDD
Parent
Hmm... tough question. Perhaps France in August 1572, when Christians started to kill eachother. I love to see that. Or perhaps Western-Europe around 1650-1750: Enlightenment and Scientific Revolution. In my opinion a really interesting period.
back? hmm..

roman empire sounds tempting, id love to visit rome back in the day of its power.
"Mine: Some time around the 9th and 11th century du..."

9.11. ofc!!! would be fun to make a huge bet on if wtc gets destroyed today or not, I would have fbi after me for the rest of my life watching my every move.
i think if there would've been such a bet and you would've gone for ''yes'', then you wouldnt of been the only one(with the arabs or whoever they were :D )
Parent
but think of the odds, easy money
Parent
troo and the fame could be huge also!!! imagine the newspapers headlines: ''The man who can forecast death and destruction'' , ''The man who knew'' :D
Parent
I'd have low profile about it! not too much attention, just normal finnish guy who secretly has hundreds of millions on his bank account.
Parent
zomfg it's da conspiracy
Parent
millions of years back, to see if the dinosaurs really died by an comet impact :D
You could be the first to report back what a T-Rex was like then!
Parent
he'd die aswell loel
Parent
My comment was based on the fact that there isn't really any evidence of what T-Rex would have looked like, and that there aren't really any 'discoveries' of a full skeleton of T-Rex :{

Would have been awesome to try and fly on a pterodactyl though :D
Parent
my comment was based on the fact that there is no way for him to get back!
Parent
unfortunatly not, yes
Parent
There is!
All he needs is:

somewhere in december 2007 when ~45mio eur were in the jackpot of german national lottery
i would travel to the time when crossfire was about to lunch, and kill tosspot muhaha

Parent
don't care but i want shoutcasts, the moments where tosspots voice went rly high we're the highlights of shoutcasting! :D
Parent
bullets streight through his english head muhaha
Parent
lol u crazy crazy boy :D
Parent
nah when ET was launched so RTCW was still popular
Parent
hello 47...
you mission is to eliminate Stuard "Tosspot" Saw
Parent
Tosspot did not have anything to do with the launch of xfire... you phailed good sir!
Parent
hmmm
then i will kill everyone else connected to this site muhaha
Parent
selfkill muahaha
Parent
murfffff muhaha
Parent
if I could affect the past, I'd prolly just go and win a lottery or something, nothing radical has happened in my life that needs changing, except for the fact that im a poor student.
good old china :x
to the day when J.F. Kennedy was shot. i could save the president, due to Kennedy not dying it'll affect Bush becoming a president, i could become rich and famous. EVERYONE is happy! :D
I'd rather have gone back to 1865 to stop John Wilkes Booth from assassinating Abe Lincoln. He was the only good president :D
Parent
you might be right! Honest Abe was the best :D
Parent
back to 1337! ^^
I would go 2k years ago and check if Jesus really existed :).
do me a favor while you go, ask him whats the meaning of life also
Parent
Get laid and make children.
Parent
that would be interesting. you know the story how jesus challenged some randoms to ask their god to lit a fire, nothing happened, then jesus went and made the wood wet with water and told his god to light it on fire, it bursted into flames.

now imagine if you'd happen to have gasoline with you, "ye ye, its water"

makes me wonder
Parent
But i also need a match :D. I think all i need to become a messiah is a laptop imo. Sound, video and all kind of stuff :).
Parent
fak the past,the main beatle is right here right now!
mhm 20.4.1889, i could drown hitler right after his birth...

or in the late antiquity/early middle ages 200-1000 :>
I know something better. Go to 1888 and become hitlers daddy. Then kill him :P
Parent
o0 if i would have been his dad he wouldnt have done such bs!
Parent
you listen to ALOT of TYR =)
Einstein says "FUCK NO!"
Greek or Roman times
roman empire
must have been awesome back then
1492 to stop the invasion of America and the slaughter of indians.
2. world war. and i would kill hitler.
why would you w8 that long?1889...
Parent
yes but if he didn't do that we would do it later. so there would be the same brutal actions. with no learning effect
Parent
imo we wouldnt have done it without hitler, he was an unique agitator(not meant in a positive way)
there was antisemitism in the german people, but not enough for doing a genocide without instigation and pressure
Parent
could be right but who knows :X he did terrible things but most of the germans just watched or helped him instead of doing smth against :< (except Claus Schenk Graf von Stauffenberg ofc)
Parent
most of them didnt know anything or didnt want to know, few of them helped him and its not that easy to do smth against a dictator if you can get into a KZ immediately
however there were many assassination attempts on hitler(around 40)
ps: my english seems to be a bit fucked today, i need more sleep!
Parent
imo the assassination plot of stauffenberg was the most famous and well organized one .
true that it s hard to do smth against him but i can't understand why so many people just watched it instead of rise against it
Parent
ofc it was the famost one, but they other 40 could have worked too...

you cant compare it to our modern times,people in that time needed someone to lead them,because they were used to it from the "kaiser"
thats the main reason why the weimar republik failed...:/

anyway i'm out for schaffen now,bibui :P
Parent
kk <3 hf :)
Parent
I would go hunt for fucking DINOSAURS
1960's and live it up taking LSD as a hippie!
You probably do that anyway =D
Parent
I think there are lots of interesting times to travel to for just a visit. But I am happy I live today.

Also I would like to see 500 years in the future, weather mankind is dead or settled on mars.
Somewhere between 2000 BC and 0 in the Middle East.
Any particular reason? :)
Parent
Birth of mankind and civilization. I'd roam all over the place as a mercenary :D
From China to India through the Persian Empire, to Babylonia, to Assyria, to Egypt, perhaps even a short trip to Greece ! But imo this period of time was one of the best to live in, especially if you had some money.
And oh my God, I could meat Cyrus The Great !!
Parent
Only a few hundred years down the line and you could have witnessed loads of people stab Julius Caesar :}}}}}
Parent
i would prefer to meet alexander the great instead of cyrus ;o
Parent
Cyrus > Alexander LOOL
Parent
no waiiii
alexander > persian empire!
Parent
Alexander > Persian Empire with Xerxes as Emperor
Persian Empire with Cyrus II as Emperor > Alexander
Parent
you cant compare it tbh, there are 200 years in between
not xerxes but dareios btw :P
Parent
Lol, I was thinking about 300 :DD
Parent
i knew it :D:D
Leonidas > Xerxes!(almost) xD
but Sparta > Xerxes fo shore!
Parent
1960 - 1980 that was happy time:P
