Any timetraveler would probably get ton of bitcoins when they first emerge

[-] ragebutt@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 2 hours ago

Depends on when they emerge. Now? Maybe not a great plan, or maybe it is. 2010 or whenever it kicked off? Absolutely. 1750? What’s a bit and how can it help with my upcoming Industrial Revolution

[-] reksas@sopuli.xyz 1 points 7 minutes ago

Ah, i meant when bitcoins first emerge

[-] Glytch@lemmy.world 6 points 3 hours ago

Depends on if it's de-aging or time travel.

If I'm just de-aged and left in the present I would try and become a real life Baby Herman from Roger Rabbit and go into comedy.

If it's time travel I'd try not to make the same mistakes but then end up making all different ones and ruining my life in new and interesting ways.

Yeah if I'm a baby in 2026 with my 2026 skills and knowledge, it's not particularly useful because I don't want to start literally working as a newborn and in 20 years my skillset might not be as relevant anymore. Not to mention the whole "oh buy a bunch of Bitcoin" thing ain't gonna work if it's already at (whatever it is now).

I'm desperate to eat flavor

[-] Digit@lemmy.wtf 1 points 2 hours ago

You get turned back into a baby but you retain all your skills and memory, what do you do?

Run away from home, walk the earth, avoid narcissists and psychopaths, create an emancipatory revolution provisioning each and all with all the emancipatory technology they could ever need, sublimating humanity to an interstellar (even intergalactic) species.

well if we're talking newborn I would freak out the butcher who circumcized me by telling him in perfect english I don't consent to this. I don't know if I could realistically get out of it but I would try.

I would now be a baby with the full knowledge of a graduate engineering degree and several years of industry experience, and the knowledge that I'm a trans woman, bi, and neurodivergent.

School would be a tragically boring breeze, and I would probably try to get into some accelerated "child prodigy" academic program so I could get through it quicker. One of the ones where you start college when other people are starting high school. By this point I would have started male puberty, so priority number one would be to go to the campus doctor and start my hormonal transition. It would frankly be amazing to go through only female puberty, and at roughly the right age even. I could expect to end up much more feminine since the skeletal changes are still possible at that age and I wouldn't have had the full effect of male puberty on my face.

I would take my time at college, still study engineering but make it easy on myself, enjoy being a college girl for a while, have my slut phase while I'm still young. Idk how far I would go with it but I would probably study something new, probably get at least a masters again. A PhD would still be way too much work for me.

After graduating it would just be normal life again, but with the body I've always wanted and a little head start in life, as opposed to being really behind like I am now. Maybe I'd even be treated better by my parents, being born with more emotional maturity than they've ever had, and with a mind even older than they were when I was born. I still wouldn't trust or like them. They'd still be bigots and religious weirdos. But maybe having a seemingly prodigal child who outperforms their wildest dreams might make them at least be nicer to me.

OK whatever I will freak out

plot of a horror movie: Grown up trapped in baby body for 1.5 years while fully conscious.

[-] A_Drusas@lemmy.world 3 points 6 hours ago

You are way underestimating the duration of horror.

[-] InnerScientist@lemmy.world 3 points 6 hours ago

After 1,5 years he'll be able to say "This mortal form is limiting" and be thrown off a cliff.

I would probably shit my pants first thing.

[-] tobebannedbygaymods@lemmy.zip 5 points 10 hours ago

Take better care of my teeth , never even think about engineering or technology and instead pick up dentistry defy my middle eastern parents and actually not eat after I take my thyroid meds , and actually start taking it from a young age realize that my parents don't care that much about me and get over it try to warn them about the 2011 Civil war and tell them not to put every thing they make in a house that is going to be obliterated in the war and actually try to persuade my Dad who is a top linguistic scientist to take the offers he received from Europe and migrate there before the war starts instead of dying in this shit hole of a society ! , for a guy that was the top linguistic scientist of his country and has a phd my dad was dumb in his decisions especially the ones regarding his family
not overly cook my brain by masturbating too much actually eat more learn machining from a young age as a hoppy , make my own firearm for self defence encrypt my diaries from a young age and not let my dad read them , even tho he managed to unencrypt them later and realized his son is just an uninteresting looser tell my both of my parents to take better care of my elder sister so she doesn't end up a stupid whore

[-] Digit@lemmy.wtf 1 points 2 hours ago

Take better care of my teeth

Oh god yeah. In my second chance, I'd completely avoid years of Dr Pepper addiction like I did first time around.

Was drinking 4L a day, for months, and didn't realise I had a problem until the day I drank 9L.

realize that my parents don’t care that much about me and get over it

That too.

learn machining from a young age

And that. Woodwork, metalurgy, masonry, etc too. And plumbing and electrics. All the real practical skills.

[-] fakeman_pretendname@feddit.uk 6 points 12 hours ago

There are quite a few women who said things like "I used to have such a massive crush on you at school/Uni/work" and I never realised at the time.

If I had a second chance, I would realise at the time.

[-] Digit@lemmy.wtf 1 points 2 hours ago

This, times 9000. Except, I'd still have the same social ineptitude. XD

[-] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 6 points 12 hours ago

Then you ruin it by coming on too strong too soon, scaring them off before they develop that crush.

[-] Digit@lemmy.wtf 1 points 2 hours ago

Did that already in my first time around, with my highschool crush, when we were in college together. A premature "I love you" bomb. 2nd chance, if getting to that same point, I'd have heeded that little voice in me warning "don't say it, not yet, you'll ruin it". Or at the very least, not wimp out after, and instead continue to pursue her.

[-] fakeman_pretendname@feddit.uk 2 points 3 hours ago

I think it's more likely that though I'd be initially aware of it at the point of magical reincarnation, by the time I reached whatever age it was, I wouldn't believe it was true anyway, so would act exactly the same as when I didn't know :)
