Elessar · 26-30, M
None, I'd just memorize the winning 1871' lotto numbers right before my departure, and then enjoy being the "lucky" winner 🥴
It'd be kind of a sh*tty century over here tho

I'd marry off, have babies and wouldn't work.
I'd die within the year from asthma.

Dan193 · 31-35, M
@Starcrossed damn, I never thought of that
HijabaDabbaDoo · F
A witch. Let's be real, I'd get killed for being one after breathing in the wrong direction, so I might as well actually be one
Dan193 · 31-35, M
@HijabaDabbaDoo how would u get your skin all green and a big crooked nose?
HijabaDabbaDoo · F
@Dan193 excuse me, not all witches are green. Racist
Dan193 · 31-35, M
@HijabaDabbaDoo thats how they're depicted in books. Thats documented stuff
sarabee1995 · 26-30, F
Privateer under commission to the US government sailing the Caribbean.
In two years time I expect I'd have treasure chests buried on half the islands between Nassau and Barbados and a few hidden-away bamboo huts to hide out in. 😁

Dan193 · 31-35, M
@sarabee1995 so then you wont own the treasure..? The crown would
sarabee1995 · 26-30, F
@Dan193 There is no crown in the USA. And the Treasury would get its fair share. The rest is mine! ;)
Dan193 · 31-35, M
@sarabee1995 ok ok x)
CrazyMusicLover · 31-35
I'd hope to find some impotent or asexual rich guy who needs a woman for his image in society but wouldn't care what I do otherwise. 🙆♀️
Dan193 · 31-35, M
@CrazyMusicLover how would u go about that
CrazyMusicLover · 31-35
@Dan193 I have no idea. I'm glad I don't have to go to 1800s 😂
Dan193 · 31-35, M
@CrazyMusicLover haha right
staking out the male predators, luring them back to my place, and offering them drinks with special spice (arsenic). 👀 or just a regular farm hand girl who dies early from influenza.
Dan193 · 31-35, M
@lovelywarpedlemon oof that would be the whole male population probably back then
@Dan193 i would never be bored i suppose. 😌
Dan193 · 31-35, M
@lovelywarpedlemon haha true
There weren’t many options for women. I would probably be a prostitute or own a brothel. Those women made good money in their era and had more freedom.
Dan193 · 31-35, M
@666Maggotz what about disease? They had no condoms back then
That’s why I would probably lean towards brothel owner. The life spans weren’t thT long anyway, and I would rather have the freedom of a prostitution while alive than die in childbirth anyway. @Dan193
Dan193 · 31-35, M
@666Maggotz true. Also you could own a brothel rn - same process really
RosaMarie · 41-45, F
Inventor. I could advance technology by a factor of five or ten with current knowledge applied to the 1800s.
Graylight · 51-55, F
Oracle. If I'm from the future, I can predict it and earn a handsome living from others.
BeJeweled · F
Marry a wealthy man, dress up everyday and live a pampered life.
Dan193 · 31-35, M
@BeJeweled well there was no national system of education back then and only a small section of the children received any schooling.
Road rage - having a horse was expensive, now 4/5 americans have the means to get a vehicle.
Threats of nuclear war is what kept the civilized world from engaging in wars with eachother for the past almost 80 years. Before there were wars in Europe practically constantly.

SinlessOnslaught · 26-30, M
Heating & air conditioning.
Dan193 · 31-35, M
@SinlessOnslaught you can engineer that from scratch?
SinlessOnslaught · 26-30, M
@Dan193 I could pioneer it.
Dan193 · 31-35, M
@SinlessOnslaught nice, we'd be way into the future with tech rn, if heating and conditioning was invented all the way back
SW-User
A seamstress, making ladies dresses. I love to sew.
Dan193 · 31-35, M
@SW-User awesome, wouod u make skirts as well and try to make them mainstream?
SW-User
@Dan193 well I love steam punk so they would be quirky with a modern twist. I'd probably die from the poisonous cloth dying practices of the time though so not good.
BarbossasHusband · 36-40, M
Dead
Dan193 · 31-35, M
@BarbossasHusband I said 1800s tho. It's a bit diff
BarbossasHusband · 36-40, M
@Dan193 oh... I'd be in jail for killing prostitutes in the streets of London.
Dan193 · 31-35, M

@OnePatheticClown theyre gonna marvel at your invention and then think you got possessed by the devil as soon as you break out a "yo"

@OnePatheticClown imagine everyone listening to classical music and the you're the only one making beats and stuff. You'll be a innovator, you'll be the elvis of the 1800s
TexChik · F
For women there wasn’t much of a choice then. We were subjugated to what men determined we should do

Pampered housewife

Hermit
Dan193 · 31-35, M
@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout but you'd have all the knowledge, why hermit?
Jenny1234 · 51-55, F
I’d be a banker. I’d own the bank. In two years I’d own a chain of banks and I’d dress in fancy dresses and have dinner parties and travel to Europe all the time
DunningKruger · 61-69, M
I imagine, in 2 years time there, I would be dead, because I don't have any resistance to the all the bugs going around at the time.
Dan193 · 31-35, M
@DunningKruger maybe you'd adapt?
SW-User
If I was in the 1800's, I won't be allowed a profession. 🥺
Dan193 · 31-35, M
@SW-User what about a nurse?
SW-User
@Dan193 I don't know if I would like some of the things nurses have to do. Healing is my thing but not washing bodies and waste.
Dan193 · 31-35, M
@SW-User true
Freeranger · M
Quite possibly a Highway man, living among the denizens of Sherwood Forest.

Dan193 · 31-35, M
@SW-User sounds interesting
DeluxedEdition · 26-30, F
Unfortunately I’m a woman so I wouldn’t have the freedom to work
Dan193 · 31-35, M
@DeluxedEdition damn, also if u came up with inventions, they'd call u a witch. What about a doctor/nurse? You'd actually heal people. That would be my choise. The medicine back then was trash based on their belief systems. I'd actually help people.
Spoiledbrat · F
I look up my ancestors.
Dan193 · 31-35, M
@Spoiledbrat then what? Would u tell them anything?
Spoiledbrat · F
Just that I loved my family. Though I'd ask for help. @Dan193
Dan193 · 31-35, M
@Spoiledbrat thats pretty smart actually. Having like a guide in that world, to know where to begin from
MartinTheFirst · 26-30, M

Gangstress · 41-45, F
A doctor
Dan193 · 31-35, M
@Gangstress me too actually, I feel like with my basic knowledge of medicine, will be way more effective than the doctors of that time.
Gangstress · 41-45, F
@Dan193 definitely on the same page. Even the basic stuff we know now could make a massive difference back in that era
