Assume you have all the luxuries of a modern life in your Tardis (toilet, hot showers, TV, books, game console, ...) which doubles as a mini self-sufficient apartment with it's own energy stores and generation.

Where in history would you go if comfort wasn't an issue?

I'd love to see the future, because I really am hopeful for humanity to move beyond all this bullshit to some post scarcity utopia :)) Failing that, I'd probably go watch Phineas Gage's big moment, because, woah.

Write your own bible with the truth, distribute it to safe locations like Constantinople, Alexandria, and Baghdad.

I wanna visit the Indus Valley Civilization and see what they were about. If I'm not changing history I'm just gonna be a temporal tourist, hosting a livestream where I ask Romans where the best fast food is at and stuff.

I would like to see the Hot Club de Paris with a shot of absinthe and a big fat joint
