def. back 200

Definitely 1817. It would be hilarious. I'd have a life expectancy of 40, be surrounded by tuberculosis, cholera and plague, have half my teeth, running sewers in the street, my wife would die in labour and half of my kids would die in their first year. I'd carry my testicles around in a wheelbarrow 'cos of lymphoedema. But there are upsides: I could get an orange for Christmas. How good is that?

The people who choose to 'go back 200 years' are forgetting the BAD BREATH and BODY ODER that everyone had in that era. Women carried perfumed hankerchiefs - WHY? Because 'high class women' would talk through the hankerchief so as not to expell thei bad breath from rotting teeth. You want to feel pain? Most people lost their teeth before age 40.
Good point. 1817 with a large bottle of Old Spice is the one for me.
Time travel is possible eventhough it's scientific explanation could be confusing or even none.
It seems there are stuffs have been sent to the past by nature or manmade.
Yeah! Let's all go back and get tertiary syphilis. That should improve my chess.
200 years future

I asked some co-workers around me this question. below are their answers.
“I like toilet paper too much” – 200 years into the future
“hygiene wise, cleaner” - 200 years into the future
“things I’d hope would be better in the future, but then again it could just be a desolate wasteland because Trump blew us all up” – 200 years into the future
Kind of makes me think more on my first choice...hmmm
to the future for satisfaction of curiosity
or to the past for chess dominance...
hmmmmm can i take a games database with me xD
I think if I choose the future I am showing I'm an optimist...

I'd always like to live in the future, but probably I would look like a dumb person for them as equally as for the people in the past!
I would rather enjoy in present😋
Knowing what I know now, I could be either a superior specimen of the 19th Century or a veritable untouchable of the 22nd Century. Sure, society and life might be better in the future for humans in general, but where would I fit in? I wouldn't. I'd probably be vilified as a socially backward solipsist instead of whatever transhumanist collective the future brain-web has created. No thanks.
I can deal with the body odour and bad teeth, because believe it or not, there are people in this day and age with hygiene issues.
I would Prefer 200 Years Into The Future, As Knowing What I KNow Now Would Enable Me To Blend In With----Oh, Time For Another Coffee,Cheers.
Future sound more interesting because we don't know anything about this.
Would you rather be a master of the past or a caveman of the future? My parents have enough trouble doing even the simplest of tasks on a computer, I'd hate to imagine what I'd look like trying to figure out 24th Century gizmos.
