If time travel was possible, would you move 'permanently' to a different era?

Example, you and your wife want to raise a family, so you decide to move to 1970s America, deciding that it has the right amount of freedoms and social conservatisms to raise your kids. You will put up with the so-so food, the movie theaters with poor sound quality and people smoking basically everywhere, because you know you will be enjoying a society that still worked without everyone staring at their phones. You look forward to your kids having their proms in the 80s.

Would you join them in the 70s? Or find a different era to call home?

I want to move to the era just before MovieChat was conceived so I can register the domain name before them and then asking for moneys to give it up, and having you all paying me. How is that for a plan?

A plan? Your father having gotten a vasectomy would have been a plan.

How about feeding your mom's uterus to the dogs?

I clawed my way out of her womb, killing my mother and saving myself a little time and a LOT of aggravation in the process. Dad remarried to a top porn star who had a daughter my age who grew to have a body MADE for me to fuck and humiliate continuously. Your suggestion wasn’t bad, though. It just came too late. I’m sure your dates tell you that a lot.

I wouldn't mind spending more time in the 80's?? Alot of good stuff came out of the 80's, movies, concerts, etc

No, I'd set myself up to inherit a fortune in the near present and I'd enjoy certain things from the past, like 50s music and idk Sizzler, but I don't wanna stay anywhere permanently in the past and idk what the future holds.

If time travel were possible, can I convince you to kill your parents?

What a great question! It would be fun to live in the 1960s. Plenty of interesting things happening like Woodstock, moon walk, social movements, innovative art, bell bottoms and miniskirts, hippies... That's my favorite era!

You would be in your element.

Though it might be interesting going back to the 70's, bottom line is: been there, done that.

I'll take my chances with right here, right now.😎

No. I hate smoking and would not want to live at a time when it was allowed everywhere. Plus I have ADHD and Asperger's and people were more ignorant of them in the past.
