For me it is the "fall of the Berlin wall" and the celebrations after the border openings.

The moment that life on earth began.

Hope you bring your microscope

Franz Ferdinand.

Yes, the Berlin wall for me too.

And when the white government in South Africa resigned, and Mandela became the boss.

Charles I getting a little off the top.

Human extinction. Be it a massive, catastrophic event or a whimper of a thing, it would be fun to witness the end of our run through time.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Me too, I used to live there.

Last time this was asked, someone said the atomic bombing of Hiroshima, and I don't think they meant for the historical insights...

I'd be kind of interested to see the gathering where the Dutch killed and ate their prime minister.

Not a major event, but there's a number of football ⚽ matches I wish I could have been at, not least the 1961 and 1968 Scottish Cup finals.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

1968 European Cup Final for me.

Assuming I have to be a passive observer, the moment when humans learned to create fire.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Assuming I was in some kind of protective bubble, the big bang, to see how it actually looked like.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

It'd have to be the construction of The Sphinx or the Giza pyramids for me.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

My favourite one is yet to come. Come on Putin die already.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Pretty grim choice.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Hard question. Something that had to be amazing was Times Square on V-J day. Had to been a hell of a party and a feeling knowing that mess was over.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Probably the christians arriving in Jerusalem and killing everyone.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Which time?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Drpends. If i was allowed to live past it, the extinction of the dinosaurs

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Bring back the USSR
