You can spend 1 week visiting 1919 or 2119. Which do you choose?

And why? The visit can occur at any location on Earth.

There are positives and negatives to both choices.

I'm not sure humanity will be around in 2119 so the answer is obvious... I'd go to 2119

Neither. My involvement would ultimately create a paradox and destroy the entire universe.

Can I take my current bank account balance with me back to 1919? Because if I can, this is an easy choice.

1919,

I know know what to expect and have knowledge of history and events.

You go with 2119 you might wake up in some nightmare for a week.

1919 so I can join the Peaky Blinders and then star in the Netflix show 100 years later

Not a bad choice either way. Go back and you can work it for investment strategies and never work again. Go forward and you can bring back info for investing and sports betting and never work again.

What do you mean by this statement?

If anyone has read 11/22/63 by S. King, there are a whole host of issues you would face.

If you went back:

Your currency would stand out and not be accepted. Food would be different. Fashion? Leave your cell. Etc.

I'm sure the banks in 1919 will take dollar bills marked 100 years into the future, no problem at all.

Not so fast, if you make your family rich, good chance you aren't here. Your dad isn't marrying your mom when he's Trump rich and can pull an Eastern European 10.

So I can laugh at the Falcons still not winning a Super Bowl.

I feel like it would be easier making it in 1919 for a week, at a location of your choosing. I think it would be easier to acclimate yourself to that setting than whatever a hundred years from now is.

I wouldn't want to roll the dice and pick 100 years in the future given any location on the planet.
