A one-way portal to 1993 opens. Do you take it?
Poast new message in this thread
Date: December 3rd, 2014 1:43 PM Author: Metal heaven The catch: You'll start out your current age, homeless, and without any knowledge of events or technology after 1993 in a city of your choice. Nobody will know you, and you'll never be in contact with any of your current family and friends again.
Is it worth it?
Edit: hypo version 2: You can take your immediate family with you, and you will be set up with a $20k/year retail job and generic identity (no other family or friends, but you're not a stranger to people at work) to go along with that. |

EDIT: Just read the remainder of the hypo and no, I wouldn't want to go back to 1993 to be homeless and likely die of starvation/some gross homeless disease within a year or two. If I wanted to do that I could walk out my door and be homeless today. Whether it was 1993 or not wouldn't really matter. |

the mid 80s- early 90s were the zenith of American culture and society. by the over-glorified late 90s, we'd entered a period of decay, I'd argue. |
