Current Events > Would you reboot your life?

(+) Yeah! (+)

you get reset back to the moment you were born. in order to get back to 2020 you have to wait in normal time. so you get a redo on your entire life. this time though you have all your memories from your first time around. you could even try to make things go differently if you want

oh but you cant talk as a baby. you can think like an adult but you are unable to physically speak until normal talking age

Retain all memories? so an instant win at life button, sure.

---

If it takes my kids away then no.

---

Being a baby would be horrible in this case

---

you wont remember every single choice you made and as soon as you make a different choice everything after may be affected.

It would be gross to consciously be a baby lol. But yeah. I got so many tools now.

Name one day aligned with the correct lotto numbers of that day without looking it up.

He never said you get to finish things up you want to do on this try.

---

Nah. Being an adult is better

---

You kidding. Even without the memory provision, if I felt reincarnation was a thing, I would have taken the mulligan on my life long before now. A do over where I can play the markets. Sold.

---

i memorized a very specific lottery drawing just in case this ever happens to me. hell yea

you don't even need to remember lottery numbers, invest in bitcoin or something.

Not gonna give the date cuz you will steal it. :3

---

Absolutely. I could save so much trouble and make my situation substantially better if I had known where things would lead.

---

I don't think I'd do it

---

And risk a lot of my family and friends? Nah, rather accept my timeline like a grown person.

That's why I'd be doing great. I'd go back to 78. The whole tech and dot com booms with knowledge of good times to get out. Maybe I could convince the partents to invest in that japanese card company Nintendo? At least I know I'd be old enough to get on the ground floor of Amazon.

I'll just assume you're telling me the truth then

---

Yes, but I would also like the option of forgetting things relating to entertainment, so I can enjoy it again without know how it ends, or how things improve over time so I won't be left wanting.

---

I'd love to for many reasons. Almost just to experience being around my dad and grandparents again.

Speaking of 9/11, I have to wonder if an anonymous phone call on a payphone somewhere would be enough to get the government to at least be more wary and prepared on 9/11.

Or would it just delay the inevitable?

This. It would suck technology wise and I can't imagine I would play nearly as many hours of video games as I did in "round 1", (at least until I end up back in 2020 and experience new stuff again) but it would be almost kind of hard to not end up way more successful in pretty much every aspect of life the second time around.

I would hate going through school again but I could be rich if I redid stuff. Even just knowing stock picks from a few years ago would give me a pile of cash.

---

Imagine being a child again when Pokemon comes out, and you know that in 2020, there will be 890+ of them but it will be years before you see them again and now have to put up with the older games again.

Or, imagine Smash 64, when you have full knowledge and experience with Smash Ultimate.

But I guess in both cases, you could gain notoriety as a "leaker".

---

nah, who knows what you'd butterfly effect away, and then all your knowledge means nothing

---

Would my butterfly effect affect lottery results? Otherwise, just let me memorise the euromillions numbers and reset me.

I'll go back to save my grandma. She didnt die of old age, she died from doctors operation mistake and neglect.

The only shit thing is that everybody will be different. The current relationship i've developed with my brother, sister and parents, friends will all be gone.

Yeah it would suck having to go through school again with the mind of an adult and already knowing how to read at an adult level, etc.

I wouldn't want to derail things by getting a ton of unwanted attention as a "child genius" (especially since I would just "grow up" into a fairly average adult), so I guess I would have to pretend to be at an average kid level, which would probably be pretty aggravating and take a lot of effort at times.

Even if you butterfly some stuff there's probably more than enough stuff the second time around that would be the same or at least similar enough for you to take advantage.

Only if I can retain my current knowledge. Otherwise there is no point, I'll just wind up making the same poor choices again.

they were aware and let it happen

---

Without even thinking about it. If I still had all my knowledge, I would be OP. An no, I'm not going to memorize lotto numbers and shit, I can make a bucket load of cash just having the basic future knowledge.

---

Not at this particular moment, but definitely if I was old and everyone I knew was dead.

I was born in 2001, so compared to others I wouldn't get the biggest 'boom' beyond bitcoin. Actually I could tell my parents about who to bet on in terms of things like the Super Bowl or elections. I mean after the first couple they'd be a lot more willing to accept that I know what I'm talking about.

I'd be down.

---

You could make bank at the patent office and also writing stories/music that people liked that hadn't been made yet. Not to mention having adult knowledge as a kid would make going through school very easy this freeing up a lot of time that you used on schoolwork the first time around and still making high grades.

The only thing that would be really weird is my mind being as old as it is being in a young body and that raises a lot of moral questions especially regarding relationships. Like, I'm 30 but in my new life if I'm in a 14 year old body and a 14 year old girl has a crush on me, is it wrong to smash? And if it is wrong, is it wrong to seek out someone thats my age in mind? Would it be wrong of an actual 30 year old to have relations with me in my 14 year old body even though by that point my mind would be 44 years old (30+14)?

Then you'd get to see family and friends again that died, but then also possibly relive their death a 2nd time wouldn't be ideal.

A lot of pros and cons to this. This is a great hypothetical honestly.
---

Even with future knowledge there is probably no way you could stop 9/11 without personally knowing someone influential in government.

Thinking about it more you may be able to stop it if you pull off a ridiculous stunt that brings tons of public attention to it (the specific date and method of attack). But this would probably have a huge effect on your own personal life.

The white house had everything on 9/11 but the date. I doubt you could change that without pulling some nostradomas shit to be seen as a prophet.

As for entertainment, I see it as an opportunity, at least since I'm that old.

I can avoid renting all those shitty licensed games and play some classics I missed out on.
I can see some of the classics in the theatres and avoid the Batman and Robin like duds.
I could take advantage of the collector's market.
I could wow the playground with now encyclopedic knowledge of Zelda, Simon's Quest, and other games Nintendo Power was needed for.
I could watch things I didn't get the chance the first time around because only rich people had VCRs and only smart people masters watching one show and taping another.
I could even be part of some milestones like catching the final episode of MASH.

---

I wouldn't want to go that far. Childhood was pretty crappy. I'd hate to go through the pain of experiencing the losses of certain family members again.

Also, and I feel weird for thinking about it, but would hooking up with classmates I was with in my first run be statutory rape in a way? I'd be mentally in my mid thirties if I lost my virginity at the same time.

---

No.

This, the only thing you'd accomplish is putting a large amount of suspicion on your family, likely leading to their torture for information.

---

This can affect your entire family members and who you end up as family and friends later.

Yeah Id do it.

---

I have to go through getting breastfed and being diapered again?

No deal

---

Yup, I'd drink more milk and lift while in my prime to be a Chad this go around.

yes
