Should we "replay" our own history?
Hear me out.
You raise your kids in a town designed as the 70s, listening to 70s music, eating at 70s restaurants.
You listen to 70s radio shows, AND news: Vietnam, Apple founded, Star Wars released, Elvis dies...

...All as if you're living through it. So your kids witness history in 'real time'
Well, it'd be planned out ~5x as fast as actual time. So the 70s, 80s, 90s... would each take 2 years, & by the time your kids are 17 they've witnessed 50~ yrs of history play out (70s-2010s)

Of course you'd still know about current events
Perhaps every 10yrs* the town would 'reset' back to the 70s
Anyway, this might screw up kids' sense of time if they think they were alive when Elvis died. But it should be fine. They'll know they're living in a "Replay" town

It'd help people remember historical events as well. It's much easier when you live through it
Just another pipe dream of mine
Whaddaya say, @heywildrich?

*lf it takes 10 yrs, the 2nd Replay will have to add 2yrs for that new decade. Replay #2 will take 12yrs, #3 will take 14yrs...
Maybe we should just shove 1 whole decade into just 1 year, otherwise it'll compound too much, like interest.

Eventually in 2200 we'd view the 70s-2020s as the same era, so they'd go together.
Perhaps we can just have separate towns modeled on different years, and then people can move to them as they prefer. That way you wouldn't have to remodel your house every couple years, haha

If you make friends with someone in the 70s, then ideally your parents would both move to the 80s at the same time so you can witness history with your friends.
This is the stuff I think about.

Why did I write this thread? Because I saw this tweet and thought, "No one's going to remember him in another 20 years. Our kids aren't going to remember. They should be able to turn on TV and watch him as if they're in the 90s and 00s"
