Ask Lemmy

Nowhere. If this was a video game I would have quit playing a long time ago.

Any of the top European or Asian countries with the most powerful passports. A lot of people with powerful passports don’t realize the privilege they have just by being born in their country.

The single largest predictor of future wealth and earning potential in America is what ZIP code you were born in… So, with that in mind… 94027 or 33109. If you’re born in one of those two areas, you’re pretty much guaranteed to be a multi-millionaire by birth.

Pretty happy with where I was originally born to be honest. I just wish the country it’s in hadn’t gone to fascist oligarch shit.

Any Scandinavian country

Another planet. One where prejudice, greed, and hatred don't exist.

Netherlands. They arent perfect but they have bicycles, freedom, and the shengen area

France. Their culture is more open, they are more efficient, modern and if they dislike something they not just complain but move to change it. Also their trains are punctual (i am german)

A utopian post-scarcity society of an intelligent space-faring species with kindness and compassion as core of society and having achieved immortality (in the biological sense)

Because I feel like I'm "missing out" after watching space sci-fi tv shows. This era still feels kinda primative.

A VERY expensive luxury hospital in the US.

I'll keep playing the game I know, but with a stacked deck.

Sentinel Island

Reasons are obvious

Mars.

Any country which is richer than this shithole

New Zealand, mostly for the charming accent.

Canada. They don't have Trump as a leader. Universal healthcare.

I've said that, if I had it to do over again, I might choose to move to Norway or Finland instead of Japan, but birth? I don't know that's possible to answer. Even if my family were the same people, they'd probably be culturally different having been born and raised somewhere. Even if we assume my parents were just plonked down there, I probably still wouldn't be the same person due to my environment. Some of that almost certainly for better, but I wouldn't be me.

Switzerland.

Helsinki. Seems like a fairly decent place.

Anywhere other than Iraq.

I am actually living less than a mile from where I was born, like some middle ages peasant who never traveled, but have traveled. I'd like to have been born here, but in the timeline where Al Gore waited for the ballots to be counted and won.

Atlantis

Iceland

Ugh, okay, so, this will require some exposition. We went to a high school production once that was supposedly supposed to be really good. I wanna say there was some partnership with Cirque de Soleil but I tried to verify it now and can't find anything so I may have misunderstood or be remembering incorrectly. Regardless, the theater was packed. The kids were amazing. They were doing the types of acrobatic stunts you'd see at a Cirque show. Sure, they weren't quite as good, they're high schoolers, but it was still just absolutely phenomenal!

Leaving, I started to really look around. The buildings on this campus were so huge. Like twice as tall and wide as any school building I'd ever seen. Nicer looking than my college campus. This was a public highschool. I'd never felt jealous like that before. I'd always known the quality of public education was different in different areas, but this was hardly an hour's drive from where I grew up. I'd seen other nice schools in the area before but this one was truly on another level.

So my answer is I wish I was born in Milton High School's school district I guess.
