You wake up in the year 1916 in the exact same spot that you’re at what do you do?
>canadian rockiesDie I guess
>>18417846>Australia (Melbourne)Well, fuck. At least Gallipoli finished up last year.
>>18417846>April in northern MissouriStart preparing the fields for a corn plantin'Prices been going up since the kaiser killed them Belgin chilren
probably fall to the ground and get hurt or die because I'm on the third floor in a suburbs
>>18417846Kill Lenin
>>18417846>southern Ontariotry to find a way not to get pressured into becoming a grunt in the British-Imperial forces
>>18417846Southern California in the 1910s was kino. I get to see my own neighborhood get incorporated into the modern city it is now by the guys that have their names on every street.>>18417885If you want to nitpick, most people would land in the middle of the ocean because a time machine has to account for the Earth's rotation. Maybe even outer space given the position of the Earth as well.
>>18417893hey bro, you dropped this
>>18417917fuck off, my great-grandad and three grand-uncles got mulched in the BEF/CEF and i'm not gonna be the fourth
>>18417925then how are you here?
>>18417932grand-grandma got knocked up before he got killed
place huge bets on the next three world seriesespecially 1919, you could get amazing odds by betting on the Reds early with the whole scandal and all
>The Dutch countrysideI pity the rest of you, have fun in the trenches.
Unironicall i'd be fine, this city is very, very old and things were a little better back then
>>18417896>If you want to nitpick, most people would land in the middle of the ocean because a time machine has to account for the Earth's rotation. Maybe even outer space given the position of the Earth as well.yes. that's exactly how retarded this challenge is. OP thought he'd use some words that are too big for him, like 'exact' and 'spot'.
>>18417896The Earth is flat, dingus.
>>18417846>GermanyI guess I learn Swedish and emigrate there or emigrate to Switzerland. They were safe in WW2. There's still 13 years until the meatgrinder begins.
Trek my way to the settlement that would soon become my city.
>>18417846get conscripted immediately to fight for the Kaiserguess i'll die in Verdun
>>18417846fall to my death (i live on the 20th floor)
>>184181251916 is a really shitty time to be.
>>18417846If I somehow survive by fall down from second floor I'll spawn in the middle of nowhere where only had been few shitty small villages, because my town was built only during Soviet rule. In 1917-1918 if I don't die I'll try to escape from Russia.
>>18417846Be impaled by a tree.
>>18417846AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh>splat
>>18417846B... buy microsoft shares?
>>18418226kekked
>>18417896This, go to the coast and buy a 1000 acres of land for dirt cheap. Your grandchildren will be billionaires
>>18417846Probably go see which movies were being filmed here because this place was like Hollywood back in the day
>>18417846Help anons, let's say I appear in a third world nation, Mexico, hypothetically, is there something I could do in 1916 to make it a great power/kill americans and recover the stolen lands?
Choose between a day in the big city or an excursion in the countryside via electric interurban.
>>18417846>Southern SpainGet a decent job because I know how to read, write and some basic maths. Enjoy neutrality and prepare some getaway plan for when the republic comes in 1931. I guess I'll move to Argentina and return to Spain in the mid 50's>>18417888That's another good option too
probably get wasted by whomever lived in my house then
>>18417846>Village in Hesse>19 years oldOff to the trenches with me I guess, hopefully it's Russia and not France.
>>18417846>IcelandBe poor and avoid the South since it'll erupt in a couple of years
Given that the Earth is travelling through space massive distances to every day, the place I'm at now would probably be in the vacuum of the milky way galaxy.So I suppose I'd just die from a combination of asphyxiation and rapid decompression. Best current estimates reckon it would take 15 seconds of exposure to space to kill a person on average.
>>18418746reddit answerthe earth is actually unmoving and is at the center of the universe
>>18418062>he doesn't know Imperial Germany was quite friendly towards Jews compared to almost everywhere else in Europeanon...
>>18418269Mexico never made any serious attempts or plans to retake the southwest because their claims enforcement in the area was nearly non existent. At most you can ride with Doroteo Arango into border towns and kill some randos before Pershing finds you and starts Pershing your shit in.t. family left during the revolution
>>18418056If the Earth was flat why do inclines exist?
>>18417846Won the Great Warhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E3ca7EY7K-A
>>18417846Head down to Detroit and get a well paying job as a machinist, hope I don't catch the Spanish Flu, invest with Charles Ponzi but GTFO in early 1920, live a life of leisure fucking flapper girls.
I wake up in my house. It was built in 1832.Gonna be a shock for the, uh, original family living there to see me between them in the bedroom tho.
>>18417846>in the Virginia Piedmont Assuming that I'm the same age I am now (you didn't say) I would probably die soon. Life expectancies were shorter back then.
>>18418240Florida made the first transgender film. You can watch it herehttps://m.youtube.com/watch?v=PayfrazHXLM
>russian in Konigsberg in 1916I am really fucked, am I? What options even are there? Try to sneak into some ship going to sweden? Speak only English and pretend to be a lost civilian from a 3rd country without any sort of identification?
>speak russian>get shot for espionage>speak english>get shot for espionageyour best option is to steal some small fishing boat and attempt do to best sailing that you can manage. Also pray that you don't run into a German warship
living in a flypaper shack in Georgia and risk a lynching for even making eye contact with a white woman most likely
Southeast PA. Would work in a factory/mill/railroad/farm field most likely and complain that half my co-workers are Ellis Islanders who speak incomprehensible languages.

>>18417846Fall 10-12ft in best case scenario (currently sitting on second floor of post-1916 house) or be brutally impaled by a tree. At least the town near me existed then, so if I’m not too injured to walk I’m only a quarter to half mile from civilization. I suppose I’d drag myself to a bar and ask for help from the locals in Endicott, New York. The only problem is, while Endicott was a boomtown then as the home of EJ Shoes and IBM, it doesn’t exist yet, and all of the housing at that time for Endicott-Johnson Shoe Company is in Johnson City a few miles east of me. As it is going on midnight, I might have to hope to come across a night watchman, or walk several miles in an injured state.
>>18417846Where I am right now was nothing but a bunch of jungle in the past
>>18417896Where I am in Southern California was still underdeveloped swamp/wetland until the 1940s. There would've been a fairly sizeable settlement about 10 miles from where I am however, it'd take me awhile to trek over but not too bad I suppose
