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

I honestly can’t think of any historically significant event that doesn’t involve or depend upon major suffering of some sort -even the happy moments are only happy because of an end of horrible things- so I’ll just pass entirely. History sucks because humans suck.

But If we assume that time can flow in both ways, I’ll choose to go somewhere in the future-past. Maybe the day we put boots on ground in another solar system, or put an end to scarcity, if either of those ever even happen..

Yes, the Berlin wall for me too.

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

Franz Ferdinand.

Charles I getting a little off the top.

[-] Professorozone@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

Me too, I used to live there.

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.

You are in real time. Imagine some eerie music

[-] z00s@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

Rod Serling approaches

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.

[-] ABCDE@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

1968 European Cup Final for me.

[-] hogmomma@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

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

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

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

[-] spittingimage@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

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

[-] BallsandBayonets@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

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

[-] Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

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

[-] mynamesnotrick@lemmy.zip 1 points 7 months 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.

[-] perviouslyiner@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

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

[-] jeena@jemmy.jeena.net 0 points 7 months ago

Probably the christians arriving in Jerusalem and killing everyone.

[-] Jarix@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

Which time?

[-] merari42@lemmy.world -1 points 7 months ago

Pretty grim choice.
