For me it is the “fall of the Berlin wall” and the celebrations after the border openings.
Probably the christians arriving in Jerusalem and killing everyone.
Which time?
The extinction of the dinosaurs. Or the big bang.
Either of those sound like a blast.
Julius Caesar declaring himself an emperor, the celebration and seeing the man that essentially turned rome from a powerful republic to the most powerful empire with a military that dominated majority of europe.
Me too, I used to live there.
When hitler killed himself in the bunker. I would have been fascinated to witness how a guy responsible for millions of deaths somehow considered himself the victim and was forced to commit suicide. He was an evil bastard and a coward unwilling to face the consequences of his actions.
Take his bullets and poison away. Let the Russians deal with him.
I’d actually prefer to witness a fair trial. Just because I’d actually like to know how he’d try to defend and explain what he did. It might have given us the chance to study him and what led to him becoming that way.
I’m pro studying people like psychopaths and sociopaths to better understand what it takes to be or become one to prevent horrible outcomes.
We should spend way more time on studying and understanding murderers and the source of their actions.
My great grandfather was aboard the USS Missouri when the Japanese came aboard to surrender. He always said that it was one of the biggest moments of his life, and he always regretted that he didn’t have a camera during that visit. I think that I would like to go back in time to that event, and bring a camera with me.
Gettysburg Address
The surrender at Appomattox, so I could tell the Union generals to keep burning until every plantation and its owners were ash
Jesus dude, you should go join the IDF, you’d fit right in.
race: plantation owner
lmfao
Bring back the USSR
My favourite one is yet to come. Come on Putin die already.

Seeing the first person to spell subtle with a b
It didn’t use to, the b was added back in cause the Latin word has one and making words look like Latin was all the rage at one point.
At least “subtle” is ultimately from Latin, and the Latin word (subtilis) does have a /b/.
There are worse cases - like the “s” in “island”. It was never pronounced.
the “s” in “island”. It was never pronounced.
I think I can confidently say there is someone out there somewhere that pronounces it.
Captain, I think we’ve hit a reef!
No…is land!
English got fucked… hard… because so many of the spellings came from people that had weird goals.
Consider phial. Why do we spell it that way? Because some jackass decided that english needed to be more latiny and
ph
is more latiny thanv
. (or maybe it was greek? I don’t remember the exact etymology)Anglish is an attempt to reverse that, and remove Latin, Greek, and French words from English.
Hah that’s interesting, a lot of this wiki is quite easy to decipher as a Dutch and English speaker
“Hey, Willum, come over here and look at this misspelling of ‘Suttel’. It’s just better isn’t it?”
The problem with most major historical events is that they’re not fun. I would choose Field of the Cloth of Gold because it was just a big festival for weeks.
If I can experience it without dying, I’d say the asteroid that killed all the dinosaurs.
I also vote for the asteroid but with zero caveats.
Lol. You at least want to survive long enough to see the explosion.
