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

Psychman3000,

Easy, give me the blue pill. My mistakes and choices have brought me to where I am and have made me who I am. I wouldn’t change my life for anything, especially not to correct a few mistakes. Most importantly I may not have met my wife or have my kids if I change anything. I’ll take the money and use it to improve the life I have.

Lommy,

That is a good answer bud. I totally relate

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

What083329420,

Gimme the money, I’m counting down the years I dont want any extra xD

Jarix,

Restart my life

giffybiss,

Give me the dollar.

randomTingler,

It’s kind of curse to live knowing what’s going to happen to our dear ones, but on the other way I could spend some extra time who is not with me now.

Earning $10mil will not be my motive if I am going to live this life again…

I’m taking the money, I don’t want to be a child again.

With the red pill, the blue pill is redundant.

YoorWeb,

Imagine all the sweet sweet bitcoin that you’ll sell to invest in Gamestop stock at just the right time.

psud, (edited )

I’d probably make the first money on Apple. Maybe on the up part of the dot com bubble.

Betting on elections too.

People looking at your history would notice your exceptional luck

I wonder if the effort to make money would break some of the big moving companies, prevent Bitcoin

Gotta remember to big short 2007

BunEnjoyer,

It’s just a question of whether or not you want to repeat, for many that’s a solid no

cyberpunk007,

Red pill easy. Make note of all the stock stuff that comes over the next couple decades, gain more than 10 mill and have more life experience in the tougher times.

cows_are_underrated,

Now you just have to convince someone to buy the stocks for you.

CallumWells,

It doesn’t say you go back in time to being six years old, you start over as a six year old. A six year old in 2024.

Hashtag monkeys paw.

YoorWeb,

Ah, I didn’t read the contract correctly. Blue pill it is then, no one wants to grow up in 2040’s.

los_wochos,

restart your life. I think you were right in the first place, but let’s keep the meta discussion going :)

veni_vedi_veni,

By then, cardboard boxes will be sold for billions

whome,

Too late, your shift in the sweatshop starts in 5 minutes, of to work.

Psythik,

It’s even easier than that. Red pill, then remember to start mining bitcoin with your PC in 2009. You’ll be a multi billionaire in under a decade.

Aggravationstation,

With the red pill, do I go back in time to when I was 6 with all of my knowledge or become a different 6 year old now with all of my knowledge?

AlfredEinstein,

Becoming some random six-year-old would be pretty jarring

Aggravationstation,

Yea, or do I become me as a six year old in the modern day?

If it was a monkey paw type of situation you’d probably become a six year old child in pre-historic times.

Morcyphr,

You become a 6 year old in the present, and you spawn at Point Nemo.

psud,

Monkey paw is supposed to suck, not be instant death

devfuuu,

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

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

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.

Melody,

My entire house:

“BLUE PILL PLS!”

rawn,

6 year old me was unhappy enough without a plethora of knowledge and absolutely nothing to do with that.

I’ll have the money please, I got some ideas to make 6 year olds less unhappy.

For the statistics: 40s, successful, no family.

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.

sockenklaus,
@sockenklaus@sh.itjust.works avatar

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
