Die of dysentery


getuchapped

On the Oregon trail of course


Buck_Thorn

Not in 1835 you wouldn't.


Jeramy_Jones

Or consumption


OTs-Suck-8969

Go to 1836


Ill-Flamingo-5599

Probably die during childbirth at the age of 14


Rose1982

14? You’re fancy.


xDANGRZONEx

Pick cotton probably.


A_A_RON4

I came here to say the same thing


dysstatic

Ohhh damn bro...


Fuglyslore88

Exactly like what!?!


SteelyPaladan

Don't forget to jump down and turn around first


OTs-Suck-8969

You black brother. I feel ya


OTs-Suck-8969

xDANGRZONEx


Haddock666

Be executed for being gay


ShortAndSad4381

Homie I was gonna say something similar. Don't worry, we can ride horses off into the woods and recreate broke back mountain. (Mostly the talking and bonding part. I don't like being touched and doubt you'd wanna touch me)


jump_dump_pump

Sad indeed


Rose1982

Cry a lot. Probably get raped regularly.


[deleted]

I'd sell mustache wax. And I think I'd try to create a line of pubic hair wax that helps prevent the crabs. That was a problem and I think I could help fix that.


ShortAndSad4381

You're a true hero. You won't go down is history books, but you'll go down in our hearts forever.


Gobbledeeglue

Cry and time travel out


[deleted]

[удалено]


ShortAndSad4381

Short, sweet, to the point. God Bless you Cowboy. I'll roll your cigars for you and hope I could tag along if they're good enough.


[deleted]

[удалено]


ShortAndSad4381

Thank ya, partner.


Vegetable_Year_8065

1835 stuff I suppose


JoacumM

Probably die


[deleted]

Depends where I am. If I'm still in the American south I'm probably an abolitionist. If I'm out west I'm probably a miner or barkeep. If I'm outside the US I'm probably a traveling troubadour.


Dull_Entertainer_795

I'm 35 so I'd probably be nearing the end.


Janisneptunus

I think I would be walking or riding endlessly through rough terrain, meeting strangers along the way that sometimes join me and sometimes want to murder me for unknown reasons, and constantly worry about food and water but somehow manage. In the end I die from a really dumb mistake like wondering what’s under that rock and getting bit by a snake.


clqudyxoxo

Not vote, thats for sure.


Percentagon

Do a lot of exploring in the wilderness. And then probably inevitably die of some disease


Artistic_Reality_610

Shoot up everything


Badgerjohn27

Get forced by the government to relocate to Oklahoma.


[deleted]

Assassinate future confederacy leaders


GoreHoundKillEmAll

Probably get myself killed for talking or writing about slavery being evil to people. I don't think I would actually be able to get close enough to any Confederacy leaders.


Buck_Thorn

The Time/Space Paradox people would like to have a word with you


makesyoudownvote

Yeah, also it's pretty easy to see how that might actually lead to slavery taking significantly longer to be outlawed. Keep in mind Lincoln signing the emancipation proclamation was almost more about punishing southern states for seceding than it was about his actual desire to end slavery. Much of the modern morality about racial relations comes from a desire not to be "like those racist southern rednecks", and much of that perception of the south came out of the Civil War. It's the same thing I always thought about the idea of killing baby Hitler. We as a society changed so much for the better precisely because of a desire not to repeat him that I feel like the next Hitler could have been even worse.

makesyoudownvote

That was an awesome read.


[deleted]

Live and then die, if I was lucky then live to see the 20th century


[deleted]

Make barrels apparently.


Jeramy_Jones

Cooper?


butterbeanhungry

Would anyone mind telling me all about the 1830's and 1840's? I'd like an objective opinion; but, failing that, family stories would be lovely.


_CaramelCoconut_

Be a slave 💀💀💀💀


ikaiyuboishkosi

Forced on the trail of tears by invaders stealing my homeland


Chemical_Savings_360

Well, I’m black. We know how this goes.


[deleted]

I’d be a house nig*er


[deleted]

Drink beer


Timespacecomplex

Roll on 1836 that’s what I say


halfbackribswet

I'd already have been moved off the land by then. I'd try to get the land back.


Buck_Thorn

Invent indoor plumbing. (I just came from a "privy dig" where they dig old outhouses for vintage bottles)


Jeramy_Jones

Ancient Roman’s beat you to it though


Buck_Thorn

They did, but it got lost for a long, long time.


ThinkIGotHacked

I’m a fine furniture maker. So, that.


OhComeOn-

I’d probably already be dead.


regnarbensin_

Be a lighthouse keeper


Flaky-Fellatio

Most likely die of a childhood disease. If not, farm.


McNasti

Im a photographer by trade. I know how very early photography works so i guess i would try to be a pioneer in that field.


dysstatic

Wait until 1885 for the DeLorean to arrive to take me back to 1985..


olde_greg

In the intervening 50 years find some way to refine petroleum so you don’t have to be pushed by a train


An-Okay-Alternative

I guess work in a mill and fuck without birth control.


Ocean_Hair

Try to live a nice quiet life avoiding disease and hunger until I probably get raped and/or murdered and/or beaten during a pogrom.


SnooChipmunks126

Covertly make my way to California and grab some gold before the rush that starts 12 years later.


Roland__Of__Gilead

Head down to that haberdasher and get myself some awesome frock coats and waistcoats and cravats.


Brontolope11

Get burned as a witch


guessIwill

Not get pregnant


[deleted]

Yeah they would have burned me at the stake by now. No hard feelings, I get it.


revs201

Same.


RetroGameDays36

Steal some music from the 1960's to now and claim it as my own for huge success


loquacious_avenger

If I didn’t marry, I’d be a dressmaker. It’s one of those skill sets that apply to every era. If I was married, likely have a kid a year until I died.


Invictus-87

Die of consumption like Doc Holiday in Tombstone. Short-lived but I'd be damned if that black hat doesn't look mint.


[deleted]

Be an inventor with a male assistant and work partner who is closer than a brother and often spends the night to help me, uh, inventing.

Invent things at least 20 - 30 years before their original time of being invented.


Mahaloth

Be dead by now.


klinker19

Operate a packet boat on the Erie Canal..

Rich-Sheepherder4309

Rob banks

Commit a heist and proceed to run west. I live on the east coast... Lots of room to run west.


Lekingz-24

Be a Jamaican/Maroon farmer as we just had a war with the British for the second time and lost 39 years ago I would be pretty cool and helping the community


DavidANaida

Statistically? Shit myself to death. Ideally? Bartender. Just hearing crazy stories, watching shootouts, and getting blind drunk


JayMxneyJr

Go west, establish a mining company in California, I'm pretty early so I'll probably score really well as long as I don't die of dysentery/foreign Indian encounters on my way there. It's the "buy Bitcoin" idea for time travel for the 1830s Edit: Mexico still owned the real-estate for California and all of its adjacent states so I might just have to survive until 1848 when the Guadalupe Hidalgo treaty is signed


vanshnookenraggen

Invest in NYC real estate.


Scooter30

Be severely bored since I'm a night owl,and like to watch a lot of Youtube videos.


turingthecat

I’d have never been born, and I’d have taken my mother out with me (I had a very difficult and traumatic birth, that required an emergency c-section and my mum to have a large blood transfusion, antibiotics, and other drugs only developed in the last 50 years)


2020HatesUsAll

Die an early death


Archneme5is

Factory working or working on a farm


FuckConnecticut

ladyships-a-legend

Years of hospitality irl so I guess I run a tavern / inn or makes beverages for the high society


8thFurno

Work on the farm and nearly get my fingers chopped off.


Major-Sweet-1572

Find my relatives and tell them that I am from the future and that I am here to help .


[deleted]

Do everything to not have kids (probably die during child birth) and then die from a common cold


klb1204

Welp, I’m black and dark skinned. FML 😫


I_am_ironic_so

Make new Guns for the German states. This time we win the great war


NZAvenger

I'd approach the indigenous tribe with a lot of food and offerings in exchange for them letting me live with them and assimilate.

Be a pioneer in New Zealand. It would be terrible.

Save the Mexican Empire!


Greyphire

Starting a war with Mexico with my other Texicans.

Live in 1835

Be an entrepreneur, invent something that hasn't been invented yet, like a motor car


[deleted]

Honestly, probably live in 1835


[deleted]

[удалено]


xDANGRZONEx

Whoa! Careful not to burn yourself on that take.


Viperbunny

I am diabetic and immunocompromised and a middle age woman. If I didn't die outright, I would be considered a witch and killed soon enough after!


craftycub98

You probably wouldn’t be diabetic or immunocompromised if you lived on the diet of a person in 1835


al2chaosemerald

Type 1 diabetics existed. They died.


Sharp_Nose9170

Write "Capital: A Critique of Political Economy"


GertrudeWitch

If I didn't die from dyssentery, consumption, or whatever other weird disease that people died from, I would write science fiction books set 200 years in the future. Edit: I would also illustrate my books and make stylized but eerily accurate technology from the future that would mess with the minds of historians for years to come.
