Assume you have all the luxuries of a modern life in your Tardis (toilet, hot showers, TV, books, game console, ...) which doubles as a mini self-sufficient apartment with it's own energy stores and generation.

Where in history would you go if comfort wasn't an issue?

I did what supposed to be done in Red Alert lore and see what happens.

The world without Tesla, Edition, Einstein. I guess we are running on magic now.

I'd love to see the future, because I really am hopeful for humanity to move beyond all this bullshit to some post scarcity utopia :)) Failing that, I'd probably go watch Phineas Gage's big moment, because, woah.

I'd check out and record all of the Biblical/Qur'anic big moments at a prudent distance, probably (barring the times of Noah, lol). Then I'd die in the time machine as I try to come back to my time and share with others cause God wants belief in the unseen and through uncertainty, maybe. 😅

Write your own bible with the truth, distribute it to safe locations like Constantinople, Alexandria, and Baghdad.

I wanna visit the Indus Valley Civilization and see what they were about. If I'm not changing history I'm just gonna be a temporal tourist, hosting a livestream where I ask Romans where the best fast food is at and stuff.

Right? Where all our words came from - historians would have a field day

I would like to see the Hot Club de Paris with a shot of absinthe and a big fat joint
