Probably about two or three years before I was born. I was a 90s baby and lived through one of the best decades in human history in terms of childhood entertainment. Nick Toons, Razor scooters, sock’em Boppers, and Pokemon just to name a few. Also cartoons themselves were the best that television had to offer. Hey Arnold, Rugrats, and Dragon Ball Z, just to name a few. If you were a kid in the 90s, you were in your PJs, eating cereal and watching Saturday Morning Cartoons, while your Holographic Charizard sat in your sock drawer so nobody was knew where it was. And your Nintendo 64 with the Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time was still warm because you threw a tantrum when you couldn’t beat the Water Temple. After Cartoons, you got your clothes on and went outside to play baseball with the boys while ignoring the girls because they have cooties and you don’t want to contract cooties, while secretly having a crush on one of them.
At the end of the day, your parents called you in for dinner because it was getting dark out and, with mud and grass stains littering your shirt, you laugh with all your friends, knowing that, after a dinner of spaghetti and meatballs, you where going back to your room to play on your N64 again untill 2 in the morning when your parents are finally fed up with the noise and tell you to go to bed.
In the days of the cavemen, with mammoths and glaciers
Bugs and trees were your food then, no pyjamas or doctors
Since I don’t have a lot of experience with many places outside my hometown, probably my hometown around 1985AD so I could grow up enjoying the 90s.
As much as I love the technology of today, I absolutely love 90s cartoons, music, and plenty of old 90s games. Plus the Internet of the time on places like Geocities, from what I’ve seen from archived sites, absolutely had amazing charm to them.
The one thing I wouldn’t like about the deal is the part about being born in the 80s since I’m not a fan of that decade. That, and I am completely unaware of the history of mechanical heart valves and when they started becoming a thing used in open heart surgery (if the medical technology of the time would even be able to pick up the little growth like thing that was attached to my valve when I was born).
I wouldn’t change anything. More than happy to be born in the early 90’s in the country I live in.
I choose to use my powers for evil. I will pop into existence in 2000 BC, 50 yards from the future Apollo 11 landing site. Neil Armstrong is going to make one small step for a man. Then he is going to shit in his space diaper when he finds a 4000 year old dessicated infant corpse just sitting there, completely inexplicably, exposed on the lunar surface.
