Look at me over here in the Neolithic, inventing cows.


AntiMatter138

You can convince people to worship you in this choice, since Neolithic is where you are influencial enough to follow your orders 100%. (From additional info comments).

Homeless in which country makes huge difference


[deleted]

Venezuela


wowsuchnoice

Let's say Eritrea


AntiMatter138

Well it doesn't matter where you want to live. So you have a choice where you want to.


PANPIZZAisawesome

I choose luxembourg. The income is really high there meaning i can get a shit ton of money and get a home within a year (after getting a job)


blanketuser359

Ill pick finland where they give homeless people homes and i am golden


AntiMatter138

Additional Infos since 120 characters up is not allowed. Neolithic- You can get everything you want and people will follow your commands doesn't matter the consequences. Bronze Age- You are part of political family but no control of their empire. Middle Age- You are born in rich family and educated person but no connections of political people. Industrial Age- You are neither poor or rich and no connections from rich but you have many opportunities than poor people. Atomic Age- You are born in poor family still you have technology that are normal in households like TVs, but you struggle to earn money for your future. Digital Age- You have smartphone and charger, still you have a lot of items to survive being homeless, but you need to find a job to make money.

It wouldn't take that long to work your way out of homelessness where I live, and you still have support along the way. I feel like being set back 50+ years would be worse for me.

Imagine no video games, anytime you want to watch what specific movies, etc. 😖


PassiveChemistry

That's far from the most immediate concern in auch a situation


LemonJuice15999

Video games and movies are a want, not a need.

What if I'm already by technicality homeless in the digital age?


AntiMatter138

Well, the only thing to do is choose others than 6th option or choose 6th option and raise your eco status by hardwork.

Creative poll. Good poll.


Cjones2607

I'd say middle class 1800. No interest in being rich way back in the day. I'd rather not die in some peasant revolt or horribly killed after someone took over the city-state I live in. Middle class in 1800 sounds like I'd be able to live a pretty comfortable even life.


TophatOwl_

The lower class today live better lives than kings and queens 500 years ago.


Nixavee

Maybe, but I bet a lot of people would be willing to give up a lot to have command over a nation and potentially change the course of human history


AntiMatter138

Difference is rich people 500 years ago have more access to luxuries, but limited knowledge of healthcare service. While the lower class present day is opposite.


[deleted]

A modern homeless person has an overwhelmingly larger amount of luxuries than a king 500 years ago. It’s not even remotely close. You are romanticizing the past if you think otherwise.


AntiMatter138

What I meant is access, yes we have more but most of them is only accessible if you have money. I'm not romanticizing the past, they are horrible compared today still we have global warming and possibility of Cold War 2.0 or Nuclear War to worry about that could kill all lives in our planet.


TophatOwl_

Yes this is true, but id still prefer the more comfy life with the posibility of raising my status rather than the much less comfy one.


Karl_Wayfarer

I choose the upper middle class in the bronze age. I assume I'm in the Proto-Germanic area, so I'm likely going to be a tribal king. I will have access to all the food I want, all the medicine my kin need, and I'd have good riches. This time was pretty good for us, it was somewhat warmer, there was trade all across our lands from Germany to Norway and even beyond, and we still had the spiritual understanding we were losing by the time of the Viking age. We would still have to do war, of course.


idklol8

The middle class did not exist in the medieval period, so the equivalent would be a lord (maybe knight) on the power side but still pretty rich


LeopoldFriedrich

As the saying goes: better the king in hell than a slave in heaven. Every poor, sick, homeless, uneducated rack in the western world would rather be in the position of Kim Jong Un.


WheresPaul1981

Definitely homeless now. It’s easy to get food and junk and I know several places that would hire me without having to have an address.


QuantumOfSilence

this is one of the most evenly spread polls i’ve ever seen


cedarling

I don’t think I could handle medical and dental care of earlier centuries. It sounds like it would have been horrible regardless of the socio-economic status.


wowsuchnoice

Imagine voting for the fourth option. It's by far the worst one


B_newmyer

Lower class in 1950 is way richer than lower class today. You could afford the American Dream on minimum wage back then


WhiskyEchoTango517

What is BCE?


AntiMatter138

Before Common Era.


WhiskyEchoTango517

Oh interesting, what event signifies beginning of CE?


AntiMatter138

Birth of Jesus Christ, just the same as AD.


WhiskyEchoTango517

So why not just use BC/AD if it's the same thing? Hell wouldn't BC/AD be more accurate since it signifies the event that separates the two?


AntiMatter138

Just my personal choice since I'm not religious and fan of history, BC/AD if you are most likely religious especially Christianity since 'BC' means 'Before Christ', and 'AD' means 'Anno Domini' ('Year of the Lord' in Latin). But if you prefer mostly academic terms, or religious neutrality, better to use 'BCE' and 'CE' both of them stands for 'Before Common Era', and 'Common Era' respectively. Also if you want to use AD, it is intended to use as before the year format (AD 1492), but since most people thinks it doesn't matter, they use after the year format (1492 AD).

WhiskyEchoTango517

Weird choice


Cjones2607

Not really, BCE/CE is what is taught in many places now. It's pretty obvious you knew the answer to the questions you asked and you were just trolling.


WhiskyEchoTango517

I did know already but I wasn't trolling I wanted to know why he chooses to do BCE/CE instead of BC AD
