OK here's the scenario:
You've committed a crime and you're given a choice, spend twenty years in prison or be sent back in time 100,000 years to an island surrounded by 200 miles of ocean. The island in uninhabited but it does have wildlife. There is no coming back to the present. you can bring anything you can carry except firearms.
If you chose time travel;
What would you miss most of modern life? Music? a car? the internet? MacDonalds? Beer?

If you chose prison in 20 years you'll be back with loved ones and people and all the modern world has to offer.

Easy one for me. At my age I'd take prison and get free room and board, free health care, conjugal visits, freed education, free internet access, free cable tv. I think I'd much rather share a cell versus what could be eternal isolation.

I would take 100,000 years back in time and be with Neanderthals, not much different than CS laugh
What would I take with me?
mirrors and beads to trade with them and a baseball bat (just in case) grin


(some are nice Neanderthals, some are good people rolling on the floor laughing )

I'll probably take the island please ... though that might depend on the location and nature of the climate?

'all I can carry' that would be a helluva lotta gear really but would likely include a good set of knives and a steel for sharpening, an axe, nylon rope, string, fishing line, carabiners, a cast iron deep pan (lasts forever and multipurpose) flintsteel firestarter, magnifying glass

Then again, 20 years ... with good behaviour probably out in ten, maybe even parole after 3 to 5 ?

It seems you missed the part where it stated the island in uninhabited meaning there are no Humans of any kind.
Also, you say Neanderthals are good people, Have you ever met a real Neanderthal I don't mean some of the blind dates you may ave had?

I've thought about this question for a long time and the one thing I would really miss is a cold bottle of soda.

Blind date?
No, I never have, geese Ooby how many women Neanderthals have you met?

No people on the ISLAND?
what if I had taken with me a boat/ship to go around looking for the Neanderthals?
Perhaps, evolution might have had another course laugh


To Miss? nothing
maybe coffee but after a couples of days I would get it over with.

Missing? my children only very happy

For real Lilith I do have a hockey stick laugh

it was my daughter's when we used to live in USA and she was playing jockey.
She has kept it and it is around some where.
Yet, here it is not needed for it either but because criminals here have long arms and they usually are a dozen or so uh oh

I really did keep a bat behind my front door as well, had someone try to stick their foot in it one day, to force their way inside...I reached around in one fell swoop and gave them the knocking they never had laugh
Needless to say they were easy to spot ...hobbling around on one footwink

I am glad you are fine now hug

Once, when my children were little someone jumped on the roof and I believed he wanted to get inside the house (the Father of my children was not home because of work) so I did call the police and they arrived (armed) in minutes and they jumped into the roof and check everything, gladly the person was not around but it was scary because my first though was to find a way to protect my children.


Nice talking to you wave

Wait a minute. How would you order a pizza if you went back in time a 100,000 years? Pizza didn't exist back then to say nothing about Tomatoes and mozzarella cheese. Or computers.
