What if your home was like a time pocket and transferred you to the year your address number corresponds to? Like if your address was 5000 then you'd live in the year 5000 and get to see what its like. Conversely, if your address is a lower number, chances are you're fucked.

It's a cool thing to think about.

At first I thought this was one of those Boomer phishing scams trying to suss out my address. Then I remembered I’m talking to a dog

Let’s pick our Fediverse names! Your first name is the name of the street you live on and your last name is the name of the city.

If you live in the west bank you can go say hi to jesus! He sounded pretty cool

so, is it that time period only within the confines of my house? If I step outside am I back in 2023?

[-] corgiwithalaptop@hexbear.net 2 points 1 year ago

I dunno, you decide! Hadn't thought about that.

i wonder where someone like a-guy would end up

https://www.google.com/maps/place/3479+Twin+Gulch+Dr,+Lincoln,+MT+59639/

I don't know if he would like 3479. I imagine montana will be a much hotter place

Though his last residence (a prison hospital) was seemingly numbered 2

I don’t want to live in the 700s…

That sounds miserable af (am female).

Nobody in my town (15k people) even crosses the 1900 barrier, afaik.

Please no thank you :)

That's pretty cool but is even better if we also play the game where your street is your favorite thing, your city's first letter is your alias as a time traveller, and your state/country us an anagram of your current one. Also your government ID number and usual locations during the day would be great mmkay?
