Can I choose my gender? If not, then not any earlier than I was born.
Exactly what I came here to say. Well, I would specify sex rather than gender. I wouldn’t want to be born female at any point in history.
I guess at least there are those specific moments in history when, if you were to be born in a specific country, being a woman at least significantly increases your life expectancy.
If I knew what shit was about to go down and I had to be born in, say, Soviet Russia in 1925, I would probably have opted to be a woman. Not because it seems so darn great, but because chances of at least making it to age 30 would significantly improve.
Then again, not a point in history I would particularly favour.
I’d love to be born on earth in about three thousand years.
I’ve been to the year 3000, and your great great great granddaughter looks pretty fine…

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.
I really liked being a kid and teenager through the 80s and 90s, I don’t think I’d change that. But I would certainly accept the opportunity to do it again!
Maybe this time in Japan, instead of the US. Though the US would be fine too.
Ten years earlier, i.e. mid-1980s. I would have been a young adult when the Internet was starting to be awesome, instead I was a preteen or early teen.
As for location, the US would be nice tbh.
You’d probably want 20 years earlier, i.e. mid-1970s. Mid-1990s were when the Internet was starting to be awesome. Broadband was just coming out, but the first web browser was already 5 years old in 1995.
nah that’s when my parents were born and their lives don’t seem that awesome tbh
