If you could bring back one thing from the past, what would it be?

Less fascism & the practice of hanging fascists.

Or properly taxing oligarchs so they cannot finance and fuel fascist and misogynist movements.

Everyone else here has great answers, but I'm gonna go with my mom. I just miss her and wish she could see who I've become since she passed.

But yeah if people don't count definitely bringing back decency

Integrity

Spam- and ad-free open internet.

Properly elegant clothing.

Shame.

Dyeing your own clothes. People in the middle ages knew a lot about extracting and precipitating dyes from plants. I'm not saying we should all forage golden rod for summer dresses (yes I am) but dyeing ones own clothes should be more common.

I'm more inclined to buy things that aren't my colour and I can keep clothes looking fresh longer with a $5 bottle of dye. I'm also way more aware of what my clothes are made of so they're easier to colour, so I avoid synthetics that contribute to microplastic pollution.

The peak of rail and streetcar transit networks in North America.

Take a guess, *hands up
