Social Which Time Period would you thrive in?

[pugilistico]

Let's say you were magically transported to any time period and society with knowledge of the language and culture, but with no other added skills or knowledge other what you already have. You'd also be adapted to their diseases so you don't get sick and die right away. You're also not taking any modern day diseases with you, so you don't wipe out half of the population.
For example, if you get transported to Ancient Rome, you'd speak Latin fluently and have a general understanding of their customs so you don't stick out like an alien, but neither do you gain special skills like fighting with the gladius or something (unless you already know how to fight with a gladius for some how).

Also you'd have to go back at least a 100 years. You can't go back to the 90s so you can win bets on sports events you know the outcome of.

Which time period and culture do you think you would thrive in the most?
Ancient Greece?
Pre-colonial America?
Medieval Europe?
Feudal Japan?
Mongolia during Genghis Kahn?
The Ice Age?

I honestly think I wouldn't do well in any time period but I'd like to see the period humans and giant animals like mammoths and giant sloths roamed the earth together. I'd get to hunt a mammoth with my tribe homies and maybe get to see a saber tooth tiger before it kills me.

I thrive daily during that time period when I enjoy a big dinner, take a nap and then drop a big dump.

Perfection!

Easiest thing to do would go back 30 years and get ahead/ invest in of Google, YouTube, FaceBook, Apple, Bitcoin etc etc.

Edit. can't read properly, fuck the new format. If minimum 100 years, I'm likely fucked regardless. Take away hot water or the internet for a couple of days, most of us would freak out let alone everything else.

I think the 50s would have been a great time for me. I love 50s Americana. The style, cars, formality of things. Drive Ins, Sock Hops, cruising, burger joints, cinema. To be 18-21 in that era would have been cool.

I read a lot of history and Medieval times would not have been for me. The smell was unbearable as they poured chamber pots filled with shit and piss right in the roads. There was no paving, so everything was dirt and mud. Horse shot everywhere. No dental care, no shaving for the women, and terrible BO. imagine getting with a hairy woman that smelled like an ape? No running water meant reusing limited bath water.

Ancient Greece/Rome--Women's cooters smelled so bad they wore bouquets of potpourri on their waists to mask the rotten fish smell. Only the wealthy had access to perfumes and oils, so I would have to be in the higher class to make it.

Somewhere in the 1800s.
Exploring the west probably. Sleeping under the stars, hunting, fishing, trapping, just living off the land.
