If I was to pick a time period, it would be sometime in the late 1800's. I would find it interesting to see exactly what went on in the everyday life of those people.
Even though I'd be giving up computers (and thus Riff-Raff), I imagine I could adapt to the new environment. I don't post much, but do I stop in several times a day to read the posts.

I couldn't do it. As much as I like history....
I want it to stay history. I think we live in the best of times. Evah!

How 'bout 70 million years ago during the Cretaceous period? Life would definitely be more exciting with the dinosaurs...

The best of times are when I'm alone with you
Some rain some shine, we'll make this a world for two
Our memories of yesterday will last a lifetime
We'll take the best, forget the rest
And someday we'll find these are the best of times
These are the best of times

I'd like to see life in the 1920's, 1940's, late 60's-early 70's... but ultimately I am glad for all of our modern conveniences and more enlightened political/social attitudes.
The state of the world is another matter entirely... :umno:

I don't know about enlightened political and social attitudes. We are fighting over statues of people from a war that occurred 150 years ago and they are part of all of us. Most soldiers have the utmost respect for their opponents after the war(s) are over. My father was in WWI, in retirement he had a German soldier from the same war living behind him. They were good friends. Many of the Confederate officers graduated from the same West Point as the Union officers and were also friends. At the conclusion of that war the Confederate soldiers were allowed to keep their arms when they went home. "Indian" names for schools and teams evolved out of respect for those people not to belittle them but we are now belittling them by erasing those names of honor and calling it "political correctness". My great grandfather fought in Col. Cross's Fifth NH regiment but I don't dislike anyone from Dixie. It took both sides coming together to form the country we now have.
