I want to be spoiled in an old school relationship.
You want your voting rights revoked and getting beaten up by your drunk husband, which is then your fault somehow? Not really my kink but if you insist.
Many were increasingly of the opinion that they'd all made a big mistake coming down from the trees in the first place, and some said that even the trees had been a bad move, and that no-one should ever have left the oceans.
I'm assuming that they're Bluetooth, as if they were wired, the problem couldn't really come up.
If they're still paired to a device, crank the volume up and try playing something loud enough that you can hear it.
For Bluetooth devices that are powered on and responding to queries for nearby Bluetooth devices, you can also try asking a device that can pair with Bluetooth devices and show signal strength, like a laptop, to query for nearby devices, can kind of use to "home in" on the device.
Very few time travel stories every address this and other detriments to the past. For most of history, the past has been a pretty horrible place compared to today unless you are rich and usually male. Even you are those, you don't have to go far back to be victims of disease or injury commonly cured today. Depending on what part of the world you are in, and how far you are going back, your skin color, spoken language, or physical features may also put you in a world of hurt.
We still have a long way to go to be better, but as crazy as it seems, right now, is a really really good time for most of us compared to most of history with regard to freedom and health.
I wouldn't mind the chance to occasionally go back in the past and talk to long lost loved ones, let them know I miss them and that everything's alright.
Even if it was just limited to a time bubble and nothing I did in the past would change the present or future.
disease might be a particular issue beyond just that. Last thing you want is to give the past COVID or modern strains of the flu or whatever else, and in reverse, you dont want to bring back smallpox
One side of my family was all farmers. I don't know much about that life, but I believe the youngest girl would be raising those two babies (while cooking, cleaning, doing laundry, etc), and those two boys would be working the field with the mother.
From what I've learn (mainly from mainstream media) I respect their choice to maintain thier culture and lifestyle. Something to be said from having no rat race and living a simple life off of the land.
Anyone who would act like that couldn’t even hack it in a developing country today let alone going back in time. Remember, a dystopia is just a third-world country but with white people and that’s different because, uh, reasons.
That does kinda depend on the nature of the dystopia to be fair. Like, the ones that are just "a stratified society where the poor live in the dirt", or "an authoritarian regime", sure, but some dystopian fiction relies on tech that doesnt even exist to run.
One of the biggest hurdles would be language. Even 50 years ago people sounded different. You go back 200, you would sound weird to the others. It would be disorienting. Might end up in jail or worse. Language is an organic thing that constantly changes.
Yeah, thanks, that comic was a little too black and white in 50% of the panels - acknowledging women's rights and their role in society and abolishing child labor doesn't mean that we did not process the shit out of food and invented the unholiest abominations as substitute for actual nourishment, or that it's suddenly healthy to live in a concrete block after spending 10 hours in cloned cubicle #7.
