If you got sent back into the 1800s, what would u choose your profession to be?

And yes, an one way trip, after u got to say your goodbyes to everyone you love.

Also how do you imagine your life to look like in like 2 years there?

Marry a wealthy man, dress up everyday and live a pampered life.

@BeJeweled what makes u confident that you'd be able to do it in the past?
BeJeweled · F
@Dan193 Its just a fantasy. I'm obsessed with that era. Wish I could have lived back then.

@BeJeweled oof, but the medicine. They didnt even have aspirin. Also imagine getting a toothache, you are majorly fucked, they didnt remove cavities back then, just straight up pulling them out with no anesthesia.

@Dan193 I know but the world was better back then compared to now.
Dan193 · 31-35, M
@BeJeweled better? How?
BeJeweled · F
@Dan193 Less noise, safer, things were more simple, etc.

@BeJeweled I'd say things were far from safe back then. It was much easier to get robbed, murdered or raped, without anyone catching the criminal. They had no dna testings and their police was mainly regional. The criminal could just move to another side of the country, and there would be a tiny chance that anyone would even look for them. Probably only if they killed the wrong person, or robbed banks and they had a serious bounty on their head.
Also slavery, underage marriages, (some) no rights, terrible medicine, I dont see how that is more safe than today.
You can move to the country side if u dont like noise or get soundproof windows.
And yeah it was possibly more simple, but also more boring. And work was more difficult, because most of it was manual labour with no automatization.

@Dan193 Yep thats true yet you didn't get road rage or school shootings back then or threatened with a nuclear war in those days.
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.

@Dan193 There will always be wars, civilized or not unfortunately.

@BeJeweled Idk hopefully the violence will stop one day
