    I'd probably end up in Florence during the Renaissance. Such a great period in art and culture.

    The future. That, or about fifteen years before I was, so I would spend the whole of the 80s as a teenager.

    Nothing before the 1980s and possibly the late 1970s because it sucked for black people then.

    I don't know; I think I'm pretty happy where I am to be honest. Old enough that I haven't spent my whole life reliant on technology, so I can survive without it a little better than those younger than me, but young enough that I haven't had to experience things like world wars or the Depression (the wars that have happened since I was born and the GFC were definitely preferable if I have to choose). Living in the future would be cool though I suppose, but I've no idea specifically when would be the best time.

    My future is fuelled by the fires of words, wit and companionship.

    Do fictional periods count?

    If not, then I'd likely say my parents' generation. Being a teen in the 70s would be cool I think.

    The future. If I had time to research how things are, I would pick any point where people can just relax, let robots do everything, and everyone has an awesome life.

    That will probably never happen, but it's fun to think about.

    The future.

    But I'm pretty happy to have grown up in the 90s. Could've had better fashion sense, but whatever.

    An era where posting on an internet forums is the coolest thing ever.

    What I hope is one day kids from the 2010's/2020's will say they wished they grew up in the 90's because so far its looking like they were actually objectively bad and im looking at them with nostaligia tinted time goggles
    Kefka's coming, look intimidating!

    I would be born sometime in 1959 so in the late 70's I can start a huge influential punk band and change the world forever

    The future. But only if it's better than now.

    Careful how you time. Black plague and all.

    I don't know if I have a time. I'd like to go back and see certain things from certain eras.
