I'd take the $10 mil. Childhood seems like it would be a lot less fun if I had to go through it again but now with the jaded mind of a middle aged man.
I can for sure find a way to have fun with ten million dollars though 😉
Yeah my childhood sucked, and knowing I'd have another 12 years of abuse with nobody taking me seriously because I'm a kid? No thanks. I could put $10mil to good use right now.
Mine sucked too but I'm trans and would kill to have known that information from the getgo rather than finding out in my 20s
If I get back to 2005 I can easily get more than 10 millions by the time it's 2024 again. Plus all the other perks of restarting your life
Easy. Bitcoin.
Yeah, get into Bitcoin at the peak investment age of ten.
Edit: JFC y'all, I'm middle-aged.
Do I go back in time to when I was six (red pill then) or am I 6 in 2024 (blue pill then)?
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.
Used to want the red pill but I have a kid now. Resetting would almost assuredly cause me to end up with a different kid.
I’m team blue.
Blue. No mistake reversion or bitcoin investing would outweigh possibly never meeting my partner again. With Blue, I have everything I could ever want from this life, with red, I may lose everything important to me now.
Blue pill. Restarting with all my knowledge, I might end up not meeting my soulmate and not having my kid, because of randomness. I can't have that.
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.
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?
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.
Red one gives you both. Literally. Just buy Bitcoin or something.
Except if you have a pretty good life and don't want to mess up the timeline that led you there.
While I could easily get more than $10mil with my current knowledge (assuming I go back in time to 6yrs old), I would not have the same wife or child as I do now, and there's no way I'll give them up, so I'll just take the $10mil now .
There's a fuck ton that I would know is coming and have absolutely no way of stopping. That is fucking hell.
With the red pill, the blue pill is redundant.
Imagine all the sweet sweet bitcoin that you'll sell to invest in Gamestop stock at just the right time.
Wait like restart as in go back in time to the year I was 6 or restart as in become a 6 year old in 2024. Because if it's the former hell yeah stocks, bitcoin, sports betting back to the future style. If it's the latter fuck that.
Since I'm married, blue pill. If I wasn't, red pill all day. I'd be a billionaire by the age of 20
There's nearly 0% odds I end up with the same wife and kids twice and I hit the jackpot the first time around. Give me the money.
I'm not sure if people here realize this, but the interest from $10m is approximately four to eight hundred thousand dollars per year.
So, with ten million, one could instantly retire and never ever have to work again.
That's priceless freedom to me, and it wouldn't require deleting almost all of my friends, relationships, experiences, and who I am.
I'm taking the money, I don't want to be a child again.
Red pill.
While I could retire right now with the blue pill, I wouldn't be happy.
Red pill means I could spend more time and cultivate a better relationships with the people who actually matter to me. I'd spend a lot more time with my great grandparents.
I could also focus on being true to who I am and not being who I thought others wanted. Basically be who I was in college... But now at 6.
Of course, I could make all the right investments to make a lot of money.
I wouldn't want to just go into the same career. While I might for a while, honestly I'd have the knowledge and money to take a run at a political career.
Red pill, because it'll eventually take me back to this moment and then I'll pick the blue pill.
Am I transported back to 1993 with all the knowledge I have now? Or am I 6 in 2023? Because the first case it becomes ridiculously easy to make 10 million... Just memorize a single set of lottery numbers for a specific time and date... and have a little knowledge to invest in apple as soon as Steve Jobs returns to the company and Tesla when it's founded, and at that point you are a billionaire.
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.
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.
6 years old all the way. Ok yeah sure, investments, Bitcoin, be rich. However, I'd love to relive parts of my past that I would want repaired that money couldn't exactly fix.
I'd be a better older brother to my younger brother. Hang out with him, take him to his football games, take him to movies, play video games with him. Instead of being the douchebag party guy that ignored him. We have a good relationship now, but I wish I could've given him better memories when he was a kid of his older brother and guided him more/better.
I'd help my Mom with her addiction that took ahold of her because she couldn't cope with what happened in her childhood. Maybe she'd still be around today, instead of me being so self absorbed in my own stupid shit.
Avoid the bad relationships I was in, and have the knowledge to recognize when a relationship will go badly. Including the parts of myself that help make the relationship bad.
Maybe the money would help with some of these things, but I really think my attention and presence would be more impactful.
Blue, would be hard to merry my x again, so I still have my son.
Blue pill. I never want to relive my childhood trauma again 🤑
Blue. Knowing what I know would make me a fucked up 6 year old. I wouldn't be able to make friends, I would creep people out or even end up in a mental institution. 10 million wold fix all my current problems. And there wold be a lot left for hookers and coke.
Even keeping time travel mechanics and ethics on the side, restarting my life at age 6 probably won’t be very helpful until I become something like 15 so I could actually do something with the knowledge, otherwise I’d probably be called a crazy kid, and couple that with the chances of me somehow fucking up everything and I would much rather have the blue pill.
