If you could pick your time and location of birth, anywhere and anywhen in all of the world and it's history - which place/time would you pick, and why?

      no climate change

      So I’m not a paleontologist, but I think that technically, there were climate changes. I mean I imagine that the creatures weren’t particularly bothered by such climate changes, implying that they were sophisticated enough to be bothered at all.

      I do like swim though.

        Obligatory xkcd reference

        Whatever climate change earth previously went through was never noticed by any living being.

        The last 40 years was the first time that temperature went up by 1 degree Celsius in such a short time frame. That took 1000 years in any previous climate change.

        The climate change was not this fast, as far as I know. We have managed to expedite the entire process. That’s why it sucks so much this time around.
