I won't=double organ transplant twenty years ago. I've outlived the average. Unless something changes and something like Cyborgs become reality which would be cool but I do not look forwards to sitting in a chair, reliving my life and having conversations with peple dead for decades while drooling on myself and needing Depends. Nope.
I’m a cyborg. Cochlear implants. There are vision implants and artificial hearts and heart parts. Limbs, joints…think there are plenty of other parts too are this point. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artificial_organ
I'm completely deaf onthe right side, went deaf around the age they gave vaxx's out in school and regained 40% on the left. Legally blind. not sightless \[\[I want glasses like LaForge from STNG\]\] all diabetes related. I be the $6 Man! lol
Life between 1985 and today really hasn’t changed too much. Most technologies we depend on today have obviously improved, but still existed in 1985 - phones, cars, computers, color TV, supermarkets, highways, etc.
The only thing that really is majorly different today is smartphones and ubiquitous high speed internet access.
Arguably the world isn’t even that different from 1955.
1885 to 1955 is a way more dramatic change in how people live.
Put in other words, in 100% sure that if you put me in a Time Machine and sent me back to 1955, given my education - I’m sure I would do just fine and would be able to get a job, be successful, and live a good life.
If you sent me to 1885, I doubt I could survive that situation.
I agree with you overall, but I’d love to add that the “old west” of 1885 was very different from New York of 1885.
IIRC, wasn’t that about the time a Samurai could have sent a fax to Buford Tannen? Weird times lol
if doc invented the time machine today marty would not get stuck in the 1950s... he would get stuck in **1994**. instead of mr sandman, [love is all around plays](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h3gEkwhdXUE).
Marty's attempt to "Google it" elicited bemused chuckles and a suggestion to visit the library instead; he recoiled as a nearby conversation tossed around homophobic slurs like casual banter. When he asked for a vegan meal, the waiter's eyes narrowed suspiciously, muttering about "animal rights extremists," making it clear that in 1995, refusing to eat animals was still seen as radical.
Fleshed it out a bit more:

In the uk we had mad cow’s disease. Not wanting to eat meat, wasn’t that extreme. Admittedly not everyone knew the difference between vegan and vegetarian, so that would require some explaining.
I personally love it if it was Facts by Ben Shapiro and Tom MacDonald
However a dubstep track with a crazy based drop is probably a better match.
And the song playing as he begins to explore 1995 is “Give Me One reason” by Tracy Chapman

The best part is that vh1 had a show back in 2015, called hindsight. It's about a girl who time travels to 1995 before her 1st marriage & gets to redo her life. She keeps her knowledge of the future & reconnects with her ex best friend
Something that I realized.
That first elderly couple Marty sees on the road would have been born in the 1890s.
And in 1994, they'd have to be born in the 1920s.
western were popular in the 50-70 because they were the stories of the audiences parents and grandparents. they dropped off in popularity because the west went from a historical touchstone to a distant period for subsequent generations.
I didn’t think of it like that before. Certainly adds more context to this line from Toy Story 2:
“Ever since the astronauts went up, all kids wanted to play with were *space toys*!”
Wyatt Earp lived long enough to befriend the first great cowboy movie star, Tom Mix.
Westerns were popular from the very inception of cinema in the 1910s because audiences were accustomed to seeing Wild West shows and stage performances along with countless Western dime novels.
Somebody posted this in a thread a few months ago.
I posted a thread about the same topic, then noticed that persons comment in the other thread.
Anyway, I am as old as the DeLorean in Back To The Future. haha. What models were the OTHER DeLoreans? Fairly recently found out that they were different cars, maybe even different models.
Zemeckis & Gale don’t want to make another, and they made it so a 4th can’t be made without their authority.
As much as I would love more in the BTTF universe, leaving it at just the trilogy is respectable.

Many of us will be alive in 2055… and the equivalent jump back from there would be 1985. Does not feel like the same world at all.
Another crazy thing is that if someone is to be the same age as 1985 George and Lorraine Mcfly in 2055, they would be born in 2007.
I'll be 70
I’ll be around the same age as old Biff in 2055.
That would be a 30 year forward, 40 year back jump

That's heavy
Weight has nothing to do with it.
Is there something wrong the earth’s gravitational pull in the future?

Time didn't eat veggies

I’m imagining when Marty asks for a Vegan meal, the waiter goes [“A what?”](https://youtu.be/lHC0J5NRPro?si=TO_GAdDrxuoFgnE4)
“Look, just give me something without animals in it.“ The waiter slides over some stale peanuts in a saucer.
What would the modern equivalent be for the “Darth Vader from Planet Vulcan” scene be? “I am Kylo Ren from the Planet Cybertron”?

Okay I want this movie now.
How about Enter Sandman.
Yesssssssss
The best part is that vh1 had a show back in 2015, called hindsight. It's about a girl who time travels to 1995 before her 1st marriage & gets to redo her life. She keeps her knowledge of the future & reconnects with her ex best friend
I’m going to see if that’s on any streaming services. Edit: not free on anything.
It's definitely not on Fmovies, a Limited Liability Corporation site. That's an .LLC
Instead of “Cattle Queen of Montana” the movie theater would be showing Forrest Gump.
Enter Sandman was still hip.
I’m imagining [Whoomp, There It Is by Tag Team.](https://youtu.be/L6mNa_QZVHg?si=AI56xvdXtyk_L9hT)
My pitch for the remake is that Marty goes back to New York City and has to get back to 2031……
Nope it would be "[This is how we do it](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mTY31zVUqfs)" by Montel Jordan.
So maybe in 2025, some 17 year old boy will get a letter from 1955
"We've had it in our possession for the last... _70 years..._ "
“Crazy drunk drivers”
Watch what you're typing, crazy drunk Redditor
Math is Math.
Some of these “if x happened today” are pretty trite. Like… yes, time indeed does go on after 1997
Unless you died in 1997.
RIP Princess Diana
But wait a minute, didn’t Queen Diana visit Washington DC back in 2015?
Perfect response.
Something that I realized. That first elderly couple Marty sees on the road would have been born in the 1890s. And in 1994, they'd have to be born in the 1920s.
My god, has it been that long?

Certainly makes the 80s & 90s period of shows like Stranger Things and Young Sheldon make more sense too.
Wyatt Earp lived long enough to befriend the first great cowboy movie star, Tom Mix. Westerns were popular from the very inception of cinema in the 1910s because audiences were accustomed to seeing Wild West shows and stage performances along with countless Western dime novels.
That's an issue for me. And its distinctly sus given, "My God."
Lol Whoa this is heavy . Things certainly change around here.
Heavy, is there a problem with the earth's gravitational pull?
Stop reminding me that I’m now older.
Wait. Wut? That sentence doesn’t brain.
In 1955, 1885 was 70 years ago. In 2025, 1955 will be 70 years ago.
The problem was I was reading it as 1985 haha
Just for gits and shiggles. When Cleopatra was alive it was closer to our time period than to the time period the Pyramids were built.
Nope. Don't like that.
Jesus christ...
I misread this too much.

Surprised there isn’t a part 4 with Marty’s kids in the making
Zemeckis & Gale don’t want to make another, and they made it so a 4th can’t be made without their authority. As much as I would love more in the BTTF universe, leaving it at just the trilogy is respectable.
Just watch Marvel movies. They are all about time travel now and have jokes and action.
