By exist, I mean something you’d be able to study. For example, dinosaurs existed well before 1800 but that doesn’t mean there was a good way for the layman to learn about them.

We stand on the shoulders of giants.
I imagine if I wasn't into planes I would too be into ships, maybe bridges while we're here.

I love computers, but the thing I love is increasing efficiency and solving puzzles. But I'm terrible at building things and I'm not great at hard kinds of math. I also have ADHD, and without my meds I'm pretty useless.
I think I'd just be an alcoholic and sometimes laborer — probably with missing digits or something. That was a depressing train of thought.

Are you me? I stumbled into becoming a Business Analyst, and I love it!

Cooking and gardening definitely. Mechanical keyboards, photography, and home theater…not so much.

Yes 100% but it was rife with racism unfortunately. My special interest is indigenous American history and artistic expression. Most likely I wouldn't have the resources to get into it.

Nope! The electric siren wasn't invented until 1905 by William Box. The steam locomotive hadn't been invented until 1802 when Richard Trevithick built the first. Steam engines in general were still in their relative infancy by 1800, and the closest we had to a warning siren before 1800 was a device invented by John Robison that was used to power some of the pipes in a musical organ rather than warn anyone.

Yes. History, theologie, architecture and languages always existed

I guess my special interest is pop culture. Prior to 1800, I suppose I would have been more into books

I’m interested in etymology and grammar, so I would have been on the bleeding edge of social science, but yes

One of my special interests is numerology, and it did exist prior to 1800 (in fact, 8th century BC is when it was first documented). I personally love studying the numbers (I had done this myself) and seeing how I act based upon the numerological characteristics.
Fun fact: I have a Chaldean number of 3, whereas my producer has Chaldean numbers of 7 (legal matrix nym) and 9 (his pseudonym).
