Neither, but if I had to choose, maybe backwards in time. Assuming I can't accidentally kill myself, I would be sad to not have my friends and family as well as missing technology, but I think I could make life work out.

Going to the future seems like an extremely high risk. Uncertainty of whether the my country exists, the world, and what I can do to survive. I'd be extremely behind in tech which sucks bad.

What? I'd say it's pretty safe to assume the USA will be around in 50 years.

remembers that a large portion of Lemmy users aren't actually from America

Oh. Right. There is a great deal of turmoil and war in the world. I guess some nations actually are at risk of collapsing.

.........soooo, like which country we talking? Canada? I could see Canada collapsing. Mostly as they fight among themselves about what to do about the great problem of keeping violent gun waving American lunatics out! I mean c'mon Toronto! Detroit is RIGHT THERE, and you don't have a contingency plan??? Canada should build a wall.
