I'd give anything to see some ancient lifeforms.
In particular, I'd love to travel back to the Cambrian period (~500m years ago) when macroscopic lifeforms began to emerge. There are some real weirdos from this era, such as opabinia (a 5-eyed shrimp with a trunk ending in a pincer) and hallucigenia (a creature so bizarre that for decades paleontologists had no idea how to even orient their fossils).

That's true. In which case, I'll take ancient Egypt and watch the pyramids being built.

it would be fun to be able to fastforward zoom through time and see the transformation of the city i live in now over the last couple thousand years.
not sure if there is enough time in a day to experience all of that though.

Viking, but maybe for a bit longer than a day.
Vikings were decentralized and they had no formal government. Every viking was sulf sufficient and they were skilled craftsman and traders. Not so barbaric as they are portrayed. It would be interested to get a chance to study them closer. I have a theory they raided the british monestaries because they tried to convert the vikings free and decentralized social structure into something that was strictly organised around religion with taxes and high priests and kings and everything which would undermine the vikings freedom and independence. So it was a "self defense" type of thing. But i could be wrong.

I'd bet money that you're right, but it doesn't make the vikings completely noble & pure. There is ample evidence that their way of life was sacking & pillaging up and down the coastline for hundreds of years. They thought of northern Europe as their buffet, basically.

Yes, it seems well documented. Apparantly they raided paris as well? Literally sailed to France and then up the Seine river to Paris. The raids seem to have been inspired by the death of the Holy Roman Emperor Charlemagne. So there was something going on there. Also

Summer 1929. I would like to see the world before the stock market crash and onset of the Great Depression. From there we end up with the rise of fascism in Europe, WW2, post-war fallout etc etc

For one day I'd be willing to check out almost any remotely interesting place in history. If I'm only getting one choice, it's going to be the Library of Alexandria: so many lost pieces of western philosophy and culture to check out.
