What would you tell someone in 2024 to completely change their life for the better?

[–] [email protected] 28 points 7 months ago (6 children)

Don't forget to specify with soap and to do it after bathroom visits and before meals, otherwise they'll just wash their hands once per month and use dirt to wash with.

And specifically before they try any "surgery"

Don't let anyone explore overseas to the west (if talking to a white person).

Don't trust white people (if talking to just about anyone else).

okay but honestly it would be super interesting to see how humans have changed over those thousand years

[–] [email protected] 13 points 7 months ago (4 children)

1000 years is too little for big evolutionary changes in a species that reproduces as slowly as us. So unless they went full cyborg or generic engineering the changes won't be very big.

I'd want to know what their favorite meal is. 1000 years would likely have a lot of culinary, agriculture, and food production changes. Maybe everyone eats cubes of flavored yeast.
