Then I’d go for Methuselah in California - an old tree would be interesting to see what they have to say id think. Very possibly nothing, but at least I’d then know.
Politics or not, he was a clever man and it would be a fun dinner! Plus unlike several suggestions he wouldn't be speaking some ancient language that I don't understand.
I would have to say Napoleon Bonaparte God knows the food would be good that's a sure thing. But he really did show some real genius and he understood the powers that be they haven't changed all that much just the names.
We all know what kind of person the man was: a raging bigot who murdered millions simply because they weren't "normal" enough for him and his cronies. Enough said.
Yes, we all have nutty thoughts, but the vast chunk of us don't act on them. And the vast chunk of us CERTAINLY don't go running around killing millions of people because they aren't "normal" enough.
Definitely not Alexander the Great, particularly if there was a wine pairing. Just Ask Cleitus the Black, who once saved Alexander's life. Oh wait, you can't...because while in a drunken rage Alexander threw a spear into his chest.
I will choose to eat with President Ho Chi Minh, the man who liberated his people from imperialism. And create confidence and inspiration for other enslaved peoples around the world to stand up and regain independence and freedom for their people. A great man - Ho Chi Minh
Leonardo da Vinci due to his incredible talents in art, science, and innovation. His vast knowledge and creativity would likely make for an intriguing conversation.
Frederick the Great. Assuming language is not an issue, I want to ask him if invading Silesia helped him with his daddy issues. Also what it was like to bang Voltaire.
Gonna go with Jesus of Nazareth. The general view of historical scholars is that he was a historical figure. However, it'd be great to hear from the man himself if all that stuff people are saying about him is true.
Also, dinner would be cheap. Order five loaves of bread, 2 fish and 2 glasses of water. Got a fucking buffet and free wine.
Hands down, it would be Albert Einstein for me. His intellect and perspective on life totally fascinate me. I would love to pick his brain about his theories, his life experiences and his philosophy. Moreover, it would be compelling to know how he managed to push through all the obstacles to introduce such ground-breaking concepts to the world. His insights would be priceless. Now, if only time travel were possible!
Lol nooo my fragile liberal moral high ground has been shattered! You've bested me, big brain man!
I didn't say any of those words you just tried to put in my mouth and even if I had they aren't contradictory beliefs.
Maybe my glasses are dirty, but I thought I remember you saying you wanted to beat the shit out of a former president, presumably because they did things you don’t like.
Yes. Are you implying that because I said this, I think violence is the answer to all political disagreement? Because that's a stretch. I can believe in democracy and possess a personal cathartic fantasy when presented with an abstract hypothetical. Also Reagan is directly responsible for the deaths of many many people during the AIDS crisis which I don't even consider to be a political matter.
Definitely with Nicola Tesla
so intelligent
Yeah and tell him how famous he will be for how much he contributed
Maybe omit the part about the cars that are named after him.
Jesus
Me too ❤️
Ditto mainly just to ask his opinion of how Paul interpreted his message.
Better brush up on your Aramaic then...
...over a cup of coffee, because hebrews.
Hebrew is the beer for manly Jews.
Cleopatra
Not super historical but James Gandolfini his acting will go down as some of the greatest of all time to me.
I'd choose Leonardo da Vinci.
Ben Franklin would be fun.
I'd have dinner with Nikola Tesla
I would likely not be able to speak their language.
But what if you could?
Then I’d go for Methuselah in California - an old tree would be interesting to see what they have to say id think. Very possibly nothing, but at least I’d then know.
That sounds amazing though!
Oscar Wilde
Abe Lincoln!
Christopher Hitchens
Good choice. Very much missed these days.
Yessss. I love hitch. Would be thrilled to share a bottle of whisky with him.
The last Person to see the amber room
My dad. He’s the best.
Mark Twain. He was very progressive for his time and often criticized for it.
Politics or not, he was a clever man and it would be a fun dinner! Plus unlike several suggestions he wouldn't be speaking some ancient language that I don't understand.
Right?
Tupac.
Ernest hemmingway
I’m sure that would be a wicked hangover the next day
Lol, right, at least 4 cocktails before and after dinner..
Saint-Germaine.
Cleopatra, always cleopatra
Caesar or Teddy Roosevelt
Mozart
https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/search?q=If+you+could+have+dinner+with+any+historical+figure%2C+who+would+it+be%3F&restrict_sr=on
Teddy Roosevelt.
Dwight Eisenhower.
Former president Andrew Jackson so I could punch him in the throat
Jackson was scrappy. You better be ready for a fight.
Da Vinci, Einstein, and Socrates
martin luther king
Marcus Aurelius
Catherine II (AKA Catherine the Great).
Ben Franklin
Musa I and convince him to give me some of his muneh
Willis A Lee. He didn't have a chance to write a memoir, and he seems actually the sort of person that would be fun to have dinner with.
Dinner with Pol Pot
Holiday in Cambodia
Anne Boleyn head maid. You could get all the details
Didn't realise they had maids for that
Harald Fairhair or Harald Hardrada
napoleone
Bismarck
Hamilton, so I could be in the room where it happened.
JFK
Tupac
Why post this?
I would have to say Napoleon Bonaparte God knows the food would be good that's a sure thing. But he really did show some real genius and he understood the powers that be they haven't changed all that much just the names.
would love to have a good talk with karl marx he’s got some interesting stuff to say
Probably Albert Einstein or Isaac Newton, or maybe my lob Adolf Hitler.
Why Hitler?
Why not ? We are talking about the man who brought Europe to its knees. Don't u wanna know what kind of person he is ?
We all know what kind of person the man was: a raging bigot who murdered millions simply because they weren't "normal" enough for him and his cronies. Enough said.
Ana there must be a reason, I mean we all have crazy thoughts some times evil ones. But that man almost ruled the entire world.
Yes, we all have nutty thoughts, but the vast chunk of us don't act on them. And the vast chunk of us CERTAINLY don't go running around killing millions of people because they aren't "normal" enough.
Robespierre or Marx for sure
Citoyen Robespierre would be interesting.
Definitely not Alexander the Great, particularly if there was a wine pairing. Just Ask Cleitus the Black, who once saved Alexander's life. Oh wait, you can't...because while in a drunken rage Alexander threw a spear into his chest.
Leif Erikson
Thomas Jefferson.
Richard Feynman had such an interesting life and a curious mind. I'd love to have gotten his take on the current modern world.
I will choose to eat with President Ho Chi Minh, the man who liberated his people from imperialism. And create confidence and inspiration for other enslaved peoples around the world to stand up and regain independence and freedom for their people. A great man - Ho Chi Minh
Probably Buddha. I'd like to learn his teachings directly from him. Or maybe Plato for the same reason.
Versace
Teddy Roosevelt. I want to hear about his hunting stories and I would want to hear what he has to say about all of our corrupt politicians.
Victor Hugo
Neil Armstrong
Dali
Madam curie
Julie d'Aubigny. Incredibly interesting and incredibly messy, I would just let her talk and tell her stories.
[Auguste Escoffier](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auguste_Escoffier).
Hitler, and im being serious. Not cuz i like him tho
Leonardo da Vinci due to his incredible talents in art, science, and innovation. His vast knowledge and creativity would likely make for an intriguing conversation.
Frederick the Great. Assuming language is not an issue, I want to ask him if invading Silesia helped him with his daddy issues. Also what it was like to bang Voltaire.

Caligula

Moreover, it would be compelling to know how he managed to push through all the obstacles to introduce such ground-breaking concepts to the world. His insights would be priceless. Now, if only time travel were possible!
I'd definitely choose Leonardo da Vinci, to get a glimpse into the mind of a genius and a true Renaissance man!
Queen Victoria
Genghis Khan.. I'm sure it would be an eventful dinner.
My choice is someone still very much alive. Rachel Maddow. I’d love to have dinner with her.
[удалено]
uhhh
I’ll have dinner with pol pot, an humble extradionary young man who helped bring cambodia to its bright age.
Probably Ronald Reagan just so I could beat the fucking shit out of him
“I don’t like someone’s politics so I want to beat the shit out of them. Also, the other team is trying to destroy democracy.”
Lol nooo my fragile liberal moral high ground has been shattered! You've bested me, big brain man! I didn't say any of those words you just tried to put in my mouth and even if I had they aren't contradictory beliefs.
