"1. 1700's England? Nope, people are too serious back then."

I found the perspective in your post interesting, but I have to suggest that you research 'coffee shops' in London in the earlier 1700s. They declined towards the end of that century for reasons that could be quite interesting.

Any references for Baghdad in 1000s? Sounds interesting.
