I'd like to see a lot of things in history but not sure I'd like to live in those times. I'd go back to 1980 because a bunch of cool stuff happens in the 1980s and 1990s that I could fully enjoy and exploit.
I don't really want to miss my family for that long. Maybe I'd go back to when my kids were babies and become a live-in nannydad? I could see that getting weird though.
If I didn't have that level of control but I absolutely had to go somewhen, I guess I'd either go a few decades in the future to see how it shapes up, or to the neolithic era so I could finally find out a bunch of things we'd never otherwise have known. That era seems like it was pretty cool, and I happen to know enough baseline science to actually recreate some of my favourite amenities.
