Not too far ahead because I'd just be culturally lost like people would be referencing the Brazilian-French war of 7820 or some shit.
But like 500 years later it shouldn't be too bad. I'd become a living historical artifact from the dawn of the computer age. Plus if get to see a lot of cool shit anyway. Maybe we will have developed compact fusion power and colonised some other parts of the solar system by then.
Maybe.. it would be cool or it could be really bad. Everyone might be obese and hooked up to milking machines getting ass fucked by an ass fucking machine for the globalist elites.. but hey i guess some people might enjoy that hhaha!

Most of all I'd like to see how science has progressed. How far will physics have gotten?
Will the methods have changed because we reached the functional limits of our ability to probe smaller structures (like Planck scale small)? My biggest curiosity would be to see whether we will have moved on to "black box science" with the rise of AI?
Where for example we will use mathematical proofs that no human will be able to understand but can be verified with a computer, like with Prover. Or use big data to make some physical models that nobody can make any sense of from our intuitive understanding of how the world functions, but gives the right answer with 99.9999999% confidence.
Right now we are at an amazingly interesting early stage of the electronic age where we are still deeply rooted in traditional ideas of understanding because that rigor gives us a sense of "truth", but if everything is judged by the "how well does your model fit data" standard... Well I am always reminded of John Von Neumann's quote: "With four parameters I can fit an elephant, and with five I can make him wiggle his trunk." Who knows if the AI just crunched a shit load of data and shat a model that just fit the data out of its ass, or if it's really the truth about how the world works?

The roaring twenties with early motorcycle racing, barnstorming in bi-planes, pinstripe suite, shoes with spats, flappers, bootlegging, bank robbing, and the last free decade before FDR fucked everything up.

The rise of computers All the genre defining video games as they came out The greatest 25 years of cinema ever created The best era of cars The rise and fall of Totse
As an added bonus: No cell phones No email for at least a while, and no normies to bother me when there is By the time 2020 rolls around again I'd be 70 and probably die from Corona.

1800-1855. There's still slavery, sure, but Manifest Destiny is in full swing and the country hasn't been rocked by war and corrupted by the industrial revolution yet. Given the perils of the time, I think 55 years would be a good run, too.
