    “Would you please send me that report we talked about? And also let me know which time period you would travel back to if you had a time machine and could only use it once?”

      And also let me know which time period you would travel back to if you had a time machine and could only use it once?”

      I mean, is there any valid answer aside from the '90s? '80s were cool but still too backwards, plus you still got the cool stuff from then in the later decade, anything before is “I don’t want to die of a minor sickness” territory.

        The 1920’s to the 1970’s are a no go just from the leaded gas use alone. Short BttF trip, sure, but I wouldn’t want to live through that shit. If we think micro plastics is bad now, we use to put fast food in styrofoam up to the 80’s.

          Yeah, seems like an exciting way to kill myself. Better than my current life plans so why not? No one said I had to survive in the past, just visit.

            Oh I’d try my best to survive. I wonder how much shit I can cram in the time machine; I can probably rig a generator to run off a wood fire

            • The first diesel engine ran on coal dust. I’m sure you could modify a diesel generator to run on charcoal dust, which you could make with a wood fire.
