Nowhere. If this was a video game I would have quit playing a long time ago.
I would reload a save from 20 years ago to change one single thing.
Wouldn't we all?
I would not break up with my girlfriend back then. My problem is that I still miss her, when though I'm married... It's horrible thinking about something like this for 20 years 😔
Pretty happy with where I was originally born to be honest. I just wish the country it’s in hadn’t gone to fascist oligarch shit.
This! I won the birth lottery big time, why would I want to live anywhere/-when else?
The single largest predictor of future wealth and earning potential in America is what ZIP code you were born in… So, with that in mind… 94027 or 33109. If you’re born in one of those two areas, you’re pretty much guaranteed to be a multi-millionaire by birth.
Any Scandinavian country
Sentinel Island
Reasons are obvious
Another planet. One where prejudice, greed, and hatred don't exist.
Any of the top European or Asian countries with the most powerful passports. A lot of people with powerful passports don’t realize the privilege they have just by being born in their country.
Why?
My country's passport is categorized as the 3rd better in the word, but I never really used it or saw any special advantage to it.
I suppose it can be useful if you travel a lot internationally, but if that's not the case is not really that big of a deal.
Netherlands. They arent perfect but they have bicycles, freedom, and the shengen area
France. Their culture is more open, they are more efficient, modern and if they dislike something they not just complain but move to change it. Also their trains are punctual (i am german)
Anywhere other than Iraq.
Were you born in Iraq?
Unfortunately, yes.
I'm sorry to hear that. Are you safe?
Safer than ever.
A VERY expensive luxury hospital in the US.
I'll keep playing the game I know, but with a stacked deck.
Congratulations, you are the proud spawn of Elon Musk and Barely Legal Gf #17.
And your name shall be X-Grok-&$#@
Shit. Anyone with that blood is worth some money! I'll just be yet another kid that can't stand him.
Granted. You are born in the cleaning supplies storage room by one of the low-status staff members.
A utopian post-scarcity society of an intelligent space-faring species with kindness and compassion as core of society and having achieved immortality (in the biological sense)
Because I feel like I'm "missing out" after watching space sci-fi tv shows. This era still feels kinda primative.
Switzerland.
Any country which is richer than this shithole
Mars.
You have no oxygen supply or life support system. You die immediately.
Insert coin to retry
Unlikely since there must have been at least one other living person around with a functioning uterus to give birth to me. I'll accept "your parents are slaves in the Glorious Musk Empire."
But the question is "where were", and we haven't colonized Mars yet even so past or current tense doesn't matter. You'd just pop and then "oh no" (but in baby speech).
Babies also don't just pop into existence.
Atlantis
I've said that, if I had it to do over again, I might choose to move to Norway or Finland instead of Japan, but birth? I don't know that's possible to answer. Even if my family were the same people, they'd probably be culturally different having been born and raised somewhere. Even if we assume my parents were just plonked down there, I probably still wouldn't be the same person due to my environment. Some of that almost certainly for better, but I wouldn't be me.
Helsinki. Seems like a fairly decent place.
Czechia seems like it'd be pretty based. or Estonia. I like Central/Eastern Europe. or maybe Thailand.
