If the year was your number of profile views, what do you think it might be like?

For me, it's the year 2663. Large parts of the earth remain an irradiated wasteland, now inhabited by mutants that wear ancient debris as armor. Tin foil, hub caps. They worship an idol made of smartphone protective sleeves and soda cans and throw makeshift spears at the shattered moon, Thundarr the Barbarian style.

638, the burgeoning Islamic Empire is wrapping up its conquest of Persia. Byzantium is the major power of the near east and european world. Western Europe is mostly fractured into dark age fiefdoms, and the Tang dynasty is ushering in a good era for China.

@Xuan12 Nice. What part of the world would you find yourself in? What would you be doing?

@DanielChristensen Wherever chance would have had me born. But the furthest back ancestors I've managed to actually trace are Italian. Around this time, Lombards and Byzantines are fighting in Italy for control of the peninsula. We're probably eking out a living fishing in the Ligurian Sea and keeping our heads down during the collapse of italian urban life.
