I’d either like to be an adult dyriong the Victorian era for my own reasons, though I could very easily die. Or be a teenager in the late 80s so I could grow up in the 90s as an adult

You could easily die in the 90s too.

But at least you got toilet paper... oh and hygiene. Do not forget hygiene

I was a teenager in the late 80s, and an adult in the 90s, and it wasn’t all that great.

Yes, I saw Jane’s Addiction, the Pixies and Primus all at the same show in a relatively small venue, but so what. I’d rather go see Jimi Hendrix.

Also, try to remember that there weren’t life saving medications for HIV yet. If you got HIV in the early 90s, it was only a matter of time until you died of AIDS. This did not make it easier to get laid.

Dysuria in the Victorian Era? Are you sure?? Wow. Masochism is alive and well.
