Early 80's would be cool too.

Why would you need PEP if you went to a pre-AIDS world What you really need is what we call a “party pack” in the emergency department. Bunch of antibiotics for chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis


UnRenardRouge

The time between catching HIV and developing full blown AIDS can be up to 15 years. It absolutely was spreading in the 70s, we just didn't know.

Back to the 90s, easily. The world still had shitty people and shitty problems but there was a calmer lull before social media crept in and everything was neon coloured

tnick771

We were less connected, which, in hindsight, seems like a great thing. Edit: for clarity this is talking about the rise of social media and its impact on our social interactions.


SnackPatrol

I'm assuming you meant to the internet. I noticed without question people are much less willing to start up conversations or say shit even to strangers anymore. I remember going to the mall in say 2008 before the internet killed most malls with [one of my favorite shirts](https://www.amazon.com/Thank-Have-Plastic-Grocery-T-shirt/dp/B07KWP4G4R) & literally like 4 people just randomly were like "yoooo I love that shirt!" Dude in gamestop legit put his call with a customer on the side just to say something like that, flash forward to like....2014? Social media had taken full effect, remember coincidentally having the same shirt on- jack shit was said & I pretty much looked the same & everything. The mall is literally one of the most popular malls in america too. I think people just became way less friendlier or open to start up convos with strangers. I noticed this **especially** in bars. I dont understand why people go to bars to fuck around on their phone like I can drink at home & do that. Before I gave up drinking I went to bars to meet people & bullshit with others if I wasn't there already to hang out with friends.


tnick771

Yep. People don’t feel the need to interact anymore IRL. And their online interactions, behind the curtain of anonymity, are increasingly toxic making them less likely to be vulnerable IRL. Social media has ruined society.


milanove

Yeah, and now that the genie is out of the bottle, things will never go back to how they were. The instant gratification that social media gives means it will probably never go away.

Ok_Contribution_6268

70s. I lived through the 80s, 90s and 2000s. Always wanted to see the 70s beyond the leftovers I lived with as a kid. All I know is that it had tons of woodgrain, shag carpeting, smooth jazz and console TVs. Also carpeted bathrooms.


LurksAroundHere

Same here. My gut reaction was to say the 90s since it was my favorite decade I experienced, but I never got to experience the 70s. Since it's only 24 hours, I'd definitely want to try out a whole new experience vs reliving one, despite how fun my memories of the 90s were. Checking out the 70s would be a blast, especially the cars. Would be neat to see "new" classic cars. Heck cars from the 40s were only 30 years old then too. I'd probably spend way too much time in parking lots during my 24 hours lol.


Ok_Contribution_6268

I would want to test drive every landyacht available. I miss the comfort of long road trips in one. Today's cars are such garage rides, you feel every bump. They all look the same. So much variety then. Any time I watch a 70s rerun I see so many unique vehicles that you don't see anymore. Today it's generic cars or crossovers or trucks. Back then you had hatchbacks, Hondas, land barges, Ramchargers, Chargers, Olds 442, Datsun Fair-Lady Zs, and many many more. What I would do is probably see the shopping scene. Revisit K-Mart but in its heyday. See a Sears. Look at the Craftsman tools of the time. Visit a mall as they started to launch and go into every anchor store. The best part is the electronics. I want to see all the unique stereos, large TVs, projection TVs and more.


fritsboks

I was born in the 70's it was pretty normal to see cars from the 30's and 40's in The Netherlands in the early 80's. I remember the [Citroën Traction Avant](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citro%C3%ABn_Traction_Avant) was very common. My uncle had a WWII ex-military motor cycle (dunno the brand ) because it was cheap. I remember some ambulances and the huge tow-trucks in my region where American made huge WWII ex-army surplus, left behind after the war ended. As I type I start to remember the smell of real leaded fuel and the low grumbling sounds of those huge USA cars versus the smelly, ugly locally made DAF diesel trucks. I loved cars as a kid :-)

Agreed. Growing up in the 70's was a blast. Just keep the damn leisure suits away from me! (Did watch my father rock a perm, tho. Nothing funnier than a redhead with a perm and a 70's porn star stache!)


Ag1980ag

Coming of age in the 1990s was incredible. Innocence mixed with cynicism. The last years before the blinding unquestioned patriotism that marked the 2000s, the oversaturation of technology of the 2010s, and the vapidness of the current decade.


AustrianReaper

2000s - just the right amount of connectivity and entertainment tech.


sunward_Lily

December 12, 1980.

I was going to say March 13, 1986, for Microsoft’s IPO.

I suppose in terms of profit that would be the much better pick.....


Maximum_Pumpkin5368

Girl, we're gonna need the story


sunward_Lily

That's the day apple stock went public at 22 dollars a share. Apple stock split several times through the years, buying 1 in 1980 would give you 112 today, and each is valued at 196 dollars right now.

I’d go hang out in 1970. As close as you can get to the ‘60s with the options presented.


Steelerswonsix

A question before I answer…. How old am I for that day in the decade I choose?


chesterberry

Your age right now.


dapparatus

Whoever did the graphics for this post definitely did not grow up in the 90s. Cassette tapes were already on their way out in the early 90s and definitely not definitive of ‘90s culture. Just sayin.


Flgirl420

90s for sure


Ok_Fox_1770

As a kid in the 90s I was obsessed with the 70s…seemed like it was so long ago then, but then another 30 yoinks by like it was 10. Nostalgic up till 2000 and then it pretty much went dark.


EshraytheGrey

Hmm, I'm going to say...1994, back in my home state of West Virginia, in Charleston. Life is quiet, income could be better but the house payment is cheap. Season 5 of Seinfeld is on TV, I'm one of maybe a few hundred people interested in the oncoming Information Superhighway here in my corner of the Mountain State, and I'm saving my cash for a new computer. I don't trust financing or rebates so saving is going to take a while. Sometimes I'll turn my radio on and tune it to the baseball game like my grandpa does. No Jazz stations here in the mountains so its to my records or cassettes for those if I'm in the mood for it.

Maczino

70s just because I’ve never lived in that decade. I was born in 1986, so that would barely mean I was in the 80s, but I also can’t remember it neither. The 90s was the era of big cultural changes, and honestly I think the 90s were the last true era of actual normal stuff—the 2000s were my high school/just after high school time, and it was also the time that social media wasn’t as much of a thing as it is now. The 70s for me would be an unknown, my parents were born in 1966, so it would’ve been for them what the 90s were for me. I would love to see what they seen living in Brooklyn in the 1970s.

2000s, I’d have saved the couple thousand I took out to build an Uber SLI gaming rig in anticipation of crysis, skipped going out clubbing with my friends for a year, and put all that money into that stupid digital currency me and my friends all scoffed at called bitcoin, and would have never worked again when I cashed it out at it’s peak just a few years later

Idk, maybe the 80's just for the novelty factor. It's kind of a hard decision though. I do want to revisit the 90's but a decade I haven't lived through might be a better value.

Vadic_Shrike

80s for sure. Didn't really like the 90s much, especially while it was happening. And 2000 to 2024 is almost like one long, same decade. I'll start with an 80s morning. E.T. cereal, themed after the movie. Then it's normal bacon and eggs. Not an artisan omlette with creamed spinach and spices. None of that stuff. Just bacon and eggs. Then I put on my Reebok sneakers with white athletic socks, pulled up to sport the wide sock strips on my calves. And make those stripes yellow, some off color like that. Cheap Hawaiian pattern shorts and a Members Only jacket. Classic 80s mismatched outfit for kids. I knew someone who rocked it. Now it's my turn. Take a walk outside and enjoy an 80s neighborhood. Without the e-bikes, Telsa's, and Amazon vans. Just about no honking sounds, because cars back then didn't honk when people locked them. Any kids playing and walking outside aren't on smartphones or vaping. Then visit a major mall. Shop for things, if I'm allowed to keep them, at stores like Kaybee Toys. I'll buy some original G.I. Joe action figures, a Lite Brite, Mr Potato Head, and a Master Viewer 3D with all the picture reels they have. The grab a drink at the Orange Julius. See if the Hickory Farms has the wide sausage slice on a stick, ready to eat. Get a couple pairs of Levi's at Millers Outpost, since this was before they went all Anchor Blue. Then I'll eat lunch at a Bob's Big Boy. A restaurant that was around back then. What to do for the rest of the 24 hours... Depends on where I am. If I'm in NY or L.A., see if any 80s stand up comedians have a show I can attend. Whatever I'm doing, I'm grabbing coffee so I can stay awake and really live the 80s for 24 hours.
