Would you rather be stuck in the future or the past? I would rather be stuck in the past. At least I would know my history & the technology available. What about you?

I would choose to be stuck in the past, also. Better chance of knowing the people and things around you.

The past. Because the times were simpler and I’d know who won a lot of sports stuff so I could win money betting.

We don't really know the future. Would it be a nuclear or EMP power outage wasteland? As for the past, people claim to like the past, but they could be too soft to really hack it and especially, they might not enjoy it for those reasons.
People are also massively addicted to cell phones and the internet and even in the early 90s, those things were unheard of.

The future I have never been to doesn't look so much of a good choice. At least my past isn't that bad, so I won't mind getting stuck in it and reliving it all over again.

The future, much like Fry from Futurama, so I can head out into space and see the last frontier.

As well as having Stock in major companies just starting out.

This is an interesting question! As good as I could possibly make my life if I got stuck in the past, the past was also very limiting in some ways. Some benefits:
1. No identification documentation is needed (if I go back far enough). 2. Cost of living is cheaper. 3. Life is simpler, yet can be harder.
Some cons:
1. Shorter lifespan. 2. Potentially overworked / abused. 3. Shorter lifespan & more sickness.
But, if I went to the future, the possibilities could be immense! Some benefits:
1. More tech, and supposedly less hard work. 2. The ability to meet distant people / beings. 3. More open-mindedness about a variety of things.
And some cons:
1. WAY easier to be tracked and spied upon. 2. More propaganda. 3. Less access to wild nature.
So which would I choose? I'm thinking probably the future. I'm hopeful that much of the greed and corrupt ways that we're going through now, has ended, and Humanity has evolved into a more positive species. I am a pioneer, anyway.
