For the sake of the argument, you get to arrive up to 24 hours before the event starts and leave up to 24 hours after it ends.

    I’d like to see the asteroid that finished off the dinos and Mount Vesuvius erupting.

    I wanna witness the Roman who graffitied about being gay in the bathroom stall - just to see the kind of man they were.

    D-Day, somewhere were the scotsmen landed. Imagine hundreds of planes in the air, thousands of ships, the soldiers take the beaches and behind them a bagpiper is playing.

    Jesus Christ and the sermon on the mount, specifically the sharing of fishes and loaves of bread.

    The big bang, especially if I can record it (don’t think that counts as interacting, it’s just a more trustworthy version of the recording it into my memory)

    Especially since this means we’d get the conditions before it

    Normandy Beach, D-Day. You read about the scale, but to see it in person…

    I’d probably choose something for entertainment. Maybe see what a Shakespeare show at the Globe was really like (extremely chaotic from what I’ve read)

    Or see Hendrix play live at Woodstock!

    That makes me sound a bit shallow maybe - there’s a lot of questions I have about what early Christianity was like before the Catholic church came on the scene, what sort of a ruler Richard III was, similar sorts of dry questions… But given the choice I’d probably want some rowdy entertainment

    Y’all wanna watch some historical events that a lot of other people have already watched, I just wanna go back and watch my own birth. I mean, who has ever witnessed their own birth? That’s gotta be a historical first, right? Also I can see if my parents are actually my birth parents or if they are adoptive parents which would explain why they are so shitty.
