Assume you have all the luxuries of a modern life in your Tardis (toilet, hot showers, TV, books, game console, …) which doubles as a mini self-sufficient apartment with it’s own energy stores and generation.
Where in history would you go if comfort wasn’t an issue?
I’d go back and preserve all the missing Doctor Who episodes. :)
Absolutely nowhere. I’ll spend rest of my life enjoying myself in the tardis.
I’d stay where I am and just travel back before the internet existed/was widely adopted
You could set up your own wifi hotspot and become your own free ISP, undercutting any private company seeking to dominate the area. It’d usher in that wonderful wild-west age of the internet

Go back to various ancient cities and just sit in the equivalent of the town square and watch a day go by. See the food! So many lost recipes. See the clothing??? We only know what the wealthy wore for the most part, I want to see what the majority of people ate, drank, wore, what their homes looked like. What did they do to pass the time??
right? walk a mile in the average person’s footsteps.
Though I’m now imagining some weird guy bursting into my house in strange garb, just as I’m about to go to work, excitedly pointing at my vacuum cleaner, and the bills on my table, and exclaiming “this is brilliant!”
Haha, I’d ask! If it’s a tardis, it should be translating and making me look like I fit in, yeah? At least clothing wise. I’d be a pale weirdo in a lot of places, but it should work! I’ll ask if I can visit, and bring them…wine works, right? That’s pretty ancient and won’t raise questions. That I’d answer with “it’s a gift from far awaaaaaaay” very awkwardly.

“Uhhh, a normal product from the East… yes…”
Shoot Trump’s dad
I’d love to witness the Chixilub impact. Or Pompeii, or any huge natural disaster. The bigger the better. I’d also like to figure out how the moon was actually created. Then see the sun swallow the earth at the end.
Those last two might require some careful planning on where to be to witness those events safely
How has no one mentioned dinosaurs yet? You disappoint me, Lemmy.
you can guarantee that at least one time travel willeth have ridden a dinosaur at some point
I’d go back and see if I can find Jesus. See what he looked like, what he actually said at his sermons, and what happened after the crucifixion.
I mean he disappears for a few days after and seems good afterwards before vanishing forever, so chances are you were there and you intervened
You’d need a translator, and probably a bunch of inoculations first.
Definitely the future. Probably like 500 year increments.
Probably Brazil in the 1600’s. Women there were sexually liberated, and threw themselves at foreign sailors, thinking they were demigods (or nearest cultural equivalent).
I think that might be a convenient myth used to gloss over the power imbalance that led to indigenous women being used as such
Jack the ripper, Shakespeare, WW1 & 2 (not)
The end of time and the edge of the universe to have a good meal at the restaurant.
It might just be a bistro
i’d go to the first nuclear bomb test, after it went off i’d say they just created a rift in time, and i came back to stop them from destroying the world through paradoxes….
Just make sure you don’t accidentally become your own grandparent.
Put on fake ears and paint yourself green
Lol shit
The middle of the carboniferous, imagine forests growing for millions of years and wood not decaying. There should be mountains made of wood.
I’ve got a mountain made of wood…in my pants
