jasondj,

Do I go back in time to when I was 6, or do I remain in the current timeline, but 6 years old?

I’d imagine with all my memories and knowledge and basically being an adult, I’d probably have…desires…that vastly exceed my age. So that’d be pretty awkward.

In the current timeline would be interesting. I’d have to get a remote job that doesn’t need me on video, but assuming my paperwork still says my original birth year, I could probably keep on renewing my license for several years and at least have a valid adult ID. Even if I can’t drive or buy my own weed/booze, I could still maintain employment at least until I have an adult body. I’m assuming the sorcerer also gave me an identity that matched my new body, so I could probably coast through college at some point

But the weirdest thing would be being able to be both my kids peer and their parent.

shasta,

Welcome to Dragonball GT

JokeDeity,

Red for sure, I could have way more than 10 million starting over with all the knowledge I have now, plus I wouldn’t wait so long for certain things.

thmnwlf,

yea but 10m is enough for a way more than decent life, i would say a pretty nice one and you don’t have to do all that shit again ^^

darkpanda,

If I choose red, I wouldn’t be able to guarantee my daughter would be born even if I met my wife because of, well, biology, but if choose the blue pill I can make sure she’ll have a huge head start on life from this point out, so blue pill it is.

Exactly! In the past, I would have chosen the red pill to change decisions that I made in the past. But today there are some things in my life that are not directly the result of conscious decisions, but that I would not want to miss.

volvoxvsmarla,

Yeah same. I would love to avoid so much pain and suffering I went through, so much wasted time and bad decisions, but I would not risk it if I didn’t end up with my spouse and child. So, blue pill all the way. Also, 10 mil would actually solve 95% of all our problems to be honest.

PopShark,

Wholesome take

whome,

You can guarantee that she won’t be born

SaintWacko,

Blue pill. I have an amazing wife and kids and there’s no way I’d risk that

psud,

And cop an investigation for unexplained wealth

@DumbAceDragon@sh.itjust.works avatar

Red pill, because it’ll eventually take me back to this moment and then I’ll pick the blue pill.

Demuniac,

You would not need the blue pill at that point. Just invest in Google and Microsoft and get some early bitcoin

Except not since you would have to replicate your current life to the smallest thing imaginable, and if you didn’t it would cause a butterfly effect meaning you probably wouldn’t get this opportunity anymore

acutfjg,

That’s assuming your have to fall into specific parameters to get this offer.

psud,

They just need to not be critical to the creation of lemmy

majestic, (edited )

Is it like people older 30 chooses red, and people under 30 blue?

Kedly,

More like people who have things they arent willing to lose choose Blue and everyone else chooses whichever

psud, (edited )

I’m over 40, chose red, have things to lose, and am confident that I’ll have a good life again, but better in many non-monetary ways, though apple, Microsoft, Tesla, Bitcoin, Hasbro mean the money side will also be alright

Pro gamee move: Start with red pill, take blue pill when you get back to the point in time where the choice is offered

veni_vedi_veni,

Blue pill is irrelevant. You already rich if you can convince family to buy stocks.

psud,

If I were to go back to 1983 I don’t think I’d care about 10M

devfuuu,

Red pill only worth it if restarted at 4. 6 is already too late.

Evia,
@Evia@lemmy.world avatar

What happened at age 5?

devfuuu,

You know the usual memories of doing weird shit in pre school, being traumatized, also losing people and stuff like that. The usual memories that totally regular people have from that age and stay with your for the rest of your life

Evia,
@Evia@lemmy.world avatar

I saw a tall man in a leather jacket in a supermarket and ran up and hugged him because all tall men in leather jackets are my dad. 5 year old me forgot that he was passed out at home from some drug/alcohol concoction so how could he be in the shop?

Traumatised me for life.

velox_vulnus,

I wish I could be a child again. All I can think of right now I killing myself.

Yerbouti, (edited )

Not sur if you’re joking but anyway take it easy bud. Things get better over time, dont let bad things and people get the best of you, they are not worth it.

CurlyMoustache,
@CurlyMoustache@lemmy.world avatar

Then take both pills: 6 years old and a millionarie

MrFunnyMoustache,

Please don’t kill yourself… I don’t know where you’re from, but most countries have a hotline where you can talk to someone who can help you.

MedicPigBabySaver,

Blue. I’m pretty solid at the moment. I’m sure I’d lose my son if I started over at 6. So, definitely blue.

IDriveWhileTired,

Thought the same. 10 Mil and having the people I love in my life is enough. Just don’t forget to wire the 10 Mil.

GrammatonCleric,
@GrammatonCleric@lemmy.world avatar

Blue pill, it said you revert to a certain age, but not a certain time, meaning any information you’ve kept could be useless in an unfamiliar environment.

Also, it never states that time and reality will play out the same exact way, making said knowledge even more useless.

@MxM111@kbin.social avatar

It also does not say about a location in space. So it might be Venus.

Jarix,

Equilibrium!

Mango,

Red. Maybe I can stop my mom from being terrible. Also Bitcoin. Also holo first edition Charizard! Also I wanna be in the Fallador massacre on RuneScape! Also I’ll get Internet famous!

StrayingTimbuktu,

I’ll be Lee-roy Jen-kins!!

Mango,

Noooooo, you totally couldn’t do it better and planning it could mess it all up!

remotedev,

Wasn’t it already staged?

Mango,

WHAT.

butt_mountain_69420,

Easy. Blue. No way am I doing this shit again.

10 million cash instantly would get you killed so fast, just look at ANY article about lottery winners getting their life just absolutely fucked up. Resetting at 6 would suck too but at least you would get something out of it.

WetBeardHairs,

It’s not so hard to put it in the bank and hire a wealth management firm. They’ll take care of you and tell you how much you can spend each year without losing money. It’d turn into a free $500k salary for life.

Omega_Haxors, (edited )

It really isn’t that easy but you are on the right path. First thing you have to do is convert it into a form that nobody is able to withdraw quickly. That removes all almost all incentive for greedy/desperate people to try and kill you for it. Good luck doing that with 10M in cash, though. Large volumes of money are nowhere near as mobile as you think it is.

WetBeardHairs,

That’s why I said go to a wealth management firm. Even relatively small firms routinely handle hundreds of millions.

My brain says the blue pill because money.

My heart says the red pill because I miss my soulmate and would give anything for a chance with her again.

Anticorp,

I’m sorry you lost your soulmate.

Spaceballstheusername,

The one thing is would you end up with your soul mate again and even if you did it wouldn’t be the same relationship you had back then. I thought about this and have 3 kids and don’t know if I would want to give up on my kids because there’s no way I could say goodbye to my kids and never see them again.
