I'd have a serious conversation with my parents about the less obvious symptoms of ADD. (It didn't have an H back then)
Besides that, I often wonder what I would do when I meet my ex wife. Avoiding her would save me trouble down the road, but then my three amazing kids would never exist and if the reset happened tomorrow, I'd have so many unanswered questions of whatever happened to them in that other timeline.
Yeah, super weird. As an 8 year old, my future wife would be 3...
Ok, so now you got me wondering how creepy it is to start dating in junior high with adult brains.
Theres some anime with that premise :D
This does not surprise me at all.
that would be wierd. or dont date til adult hood, unless there is memory wipe with de-aging process.
Your kids wouldn't exist if any tiny change was made to the timeline at all. You having the memories of an older self at age 8 would certainly be enough to do it. Fortunately, it's just hypothetical.
Possibly. I do have enough information that I could easily find my ex, even if I didn't take the same path between age 8 and the day I met her.
For example if I studied harder and got into a better college, I still know which one she went to, and where she would hang out. I guess the biggest possible flaw of trying to recreate them would be which sperm hit which egg and how much of a difference that might make.
Actually, I've already raised three kids, maybe I'll just spring for a vasectomy at 18.
