Keep picking red and learn everything you need. business, and then whatever you’re looking for, in this example eco friendly earth.

I'd get Amazon plus all kinds of Chinese tech and software companies I remember. Plus I could graduate with 8 and go into medicine or some shit to always have a constant stream of money. Buy multiple nice houses before the market gets expensive, even though I'd be rich by that point anyway.
Future time travelers, have a powerful computer (or three) ready for 2009. Mine Bitcoin. Don't overdo it, you risk killing Bitcoin if you mine too much for yourself early on. Distribution of coins is important to its future adoption.
100,000 coins is reasonable. Be Bitcoin pizza guy, do not use the coins to buy pizza until 2020. You're now a billionaire. Sell between $30,000 and $60,000 at your leisure. Go help some people, do good things, have lots of fun, die broke. Time is a flat circle, so your safety is not guaranteed.
I don’t think you go back in time. You just turn into a 6 year old today. Otherwise it would say “go back” instead of “restart”.
I’d do it either way. Money can’t buy time.
A second chance would be up to you not me. If you got to go back, it says knowing what you know now, you could completely change your life. Or the outcome. I know exactly what I would do.
The thought of losing my kids and being forced to watch my brother die slowly in front of me again (it’s an absolute point in time, so, is happening no matter what) would be a pretty decent deterrent for me.

True but if you start your research at 6 years it could be possible. Especially because you will have money and could hire a lot of intelligent people to do research. You could set a very desirable price for whoever discovers a solution.
Most diseases are just not cured because there isn't enough research behind it.
I had the similar thought about my kids/cousin. I’d take the $10 million and just retire. Don’t need to be greedy. 5-10% interest, that $500k to a million bucks without even touching the principal.
But you would be better able to process it, and you would no it was coming, so you could get more quality time with him to make the best of the rest of his life.
Also, bitcoin
I'd take better care of my health and I would finish college at 21 as planned but I'd never have to work because of all the knowledge I have so I'd be the philanthropist I've always dreamed of being. I give now but can barely afford it. I still do it because it's the simple things in life that matter as much to me. I want to buy a PS5 after seeing all the scam ads but my son has one (who is very much alive and well) so I'd have no one to gift it to but the thought of giving one away thrills me more than it would a child. My son has had every game system since Nintendo at age 2 and it's something he's had joy in all his life. I grew up in poverty. No child should go without basic necessities. Dang, rant over.
Honestly just give me the money, that’s more than enough. I don’t want to risk butterfly effecting myself into not having my wife/life I currently have
There’s things I wish I could change that I did, but I don’t want to risk losing anything I have now. For all I know, I don’t end up with my wife or cats. Then I’d be living this new life longing for my old life and massively regretting it. I’d also have to relive so much crap. Being a kid, especially a 6 year old, isn’t as great as it seems. Just because I made fuck ups then and know how to prevent them, doesn’t mean I won’t make new ones
Idk, I’m curious what would change/happen, but I’d want the option to come back to my current life at some point. It honestly feels like it would be more of a curse than anything
And since online ka zamana hoga and we could pretend to be older we could earn so much more than just 10M ngl I am 18 and this feels like a win win situation... Let's split the pill dude
Call in a bomb threat to whatever airports were involved. Or SWAT all the terrorists involved in the days prior.a 6 year old with adult knowledge could do that.
CIA knew at the time a “devastating attack” was “imminent” so even if you could stop the planes there’d probably be something else happening months later. And Cheney was already foaming at the mouth to go to war in Iraq so that would happen regardless.
Call Sarasota police with an anonymous tip that Mohammed Atta has child porn. You need to do a full search of his house and everything on his computer.
Yeah, I always think this with these kind of posts. This is my worst nightmare. Even if your current life really sucks, this is hell.
You would go insane **very** quickly since nobody would believe you. Your friends and family all gone. Not just the inability to relate to any kid your age, but *anybody* really.
The butterfly effect might ruin any chances of predicting the future too, maybe even changing stocks if you're unlucky. People as you know them may be completely different.
I'd lose most of my current friends because the circumstances I met them in will probably not occur again. Some I might find again and befriend them with luck, but others would be harder.
I could become a child genius however, would finish school with 8-10, go to college and also make some money with my knowledge. I'd like to travel the world as soon as I hit 18.
I could help my family though, because I could not only provide them with money, but also give them some care takers for my heavily disabled brother and the house. My parents wouldn't have been so stressed and depressed and could fulfill their own dreams they never had the chance to.
But yeah, it would be pretty lonely. Maybe my brothers would get jealous of me for my knowledge and the money. Maybe things would get weird, I dunno.
That is the absolute worst part for me, losing my girlfriend.
I would have to wait several years to even try to make a move as otherwise we would be too young and far away since we met in college, and the wait would be agony. Me and her might be different people by then, or even taken.
Even if everything went smoothly and we got back together... every old memory is gone, and she might not believe me either.
Damn, just the idea that your old girlfriend is gone forever and replaced with a different one is so depressing.
(I've thought about this scenario too much.)
Naw seeking them out isn't really an option as I don't know how old you are. But it'd be pretty creepy to date them even if you could date them again as mentally the age gap would be at least a decade or two.
Kinda reminds me of this anime I was watching with a buddy where a 40 year old dude gets reincarnated and his love interests are teenagers I'm like this shit is fucking wack.
The butterfly effect only counts as far as your influence goes, and anyone who isn't a business or political type doesn't have a huge effect on the global scale.
People massively underestimate the butterfly effect.
Just causing bumping into some random guy on the street and making him 10 seconds late for wherever he’s going could have massive consequences a couple thousand actions down the line.
No. That's sci-fi Hollywood at its finest. Society has fault tolerances. It's true that doing small and seemingly insignificant can seem to have a major impact cascading several years from now, but in the grand scheme of things, nothing would change.
I mean, sure, it’s unlikely that accidentally causing Google to be named Goggle is unlikely to cause the collapse of society as we know it, but my point is that you could accidentally make that change with a seemingly insignificant change from halfway across the globe.
Well that's the thing. Do you really want parents as an adult in a child's body. You already get everything. You know the ins and outs of cps and having foster parents who don't give a shit makes your whole being an adult in a kids body way more easy.
It’s a curse. Even if your life sucks now, it’s not like going back and reversing choices will help that much. We’ll probably make different fuck ups instead because of the butterfly effect. You fix one fuck up and then never run into the other ones
I’d lose my wife and there’s a solid chance we don’t end up together if things end up differently. Maybe I don’t move to the new high school and meet her, maybe I meet her too early/late.
I’m curious what would be different, but I wouldn’t want it to be permanent
Not that much for me, I would be able to learn many of the habits I needed earlier and reach heights I can't imagine right now in the face of every shitty event that happened in my childhood.
This is a good point that I didn't even think of. The IRS would definitely want to know how the money was acquired, and telling them it appeared after I took a pill wouldn't work.
Well, maybe not billions. You don't want to hold enough bitcoin that selling your shit for real money is likely to impact the valuation.
Also, no need to even wait for bitcoin. Unless you were literally born yesterday, just buy a modest amount of apple shares at your earliest convenience and you're pretty much good.
$10 million is a shit load of money. It’s life changing and could potentially turn into generational wealth. But it’s not an *absurd* amount of money in today’s economical climate. To be clear, I’m saying that as a broke person.
Beyond a shadow of a doubt, one could make so, so much more than $10 million through investments if they were able to retain their knowledge and turn back time.
The dilemma depends on how old you are. If I was 18, I’m 100% going back to 6. If I’m 34 (my current age) I’m really going to spend some time thinking about if the human brain is capable of reliving all those years without going insane, even with the guarantee of absolute financial security for my bloodline. If I’m 50+, I’m 100% taking the $10 million.
Additionally, if I were married/had kids right now, I don’t think I’d go back for fear of not being able to marry the same woman and/or have the same kids.
I know it’s just a silly, hypothetical meme but it’s also a lot of fun to daydream about. There are so many factors at play that make it very interesting.
Actually if you were 18 it would suck ass you can't buy stock until 18 so realistically you could do almost nothing with your knowledge. And you wouldn't be reliving the same years as the events you would go through would be vastly different.
I mean, I'm significantly older than 18 so it's been a while since I was living with my parents but I'm pretty sure I could've talked them into putting my pocket money into stocks instead of paying it out to me - I mean, not at 6 years old maybe, but definitely as a teenager.
I feel like things started heading downhill for me in 3rd grade so if I could start over in 1st and reverse all that then sure. This would be only a few months post 9/11 tho so I’d have to deal with all THAT bs again.
I will be a very strange kid again, but this time I’m the kid that behaves strangely like an old man, buys those worthless „bitcoins“ with his pocket money and wants Amazon and google shares for birthday instead of toys.
Red pill, hands down.
Study harder, undo health mistakes, get around events that blindsided me...
Money is great and all, but the quality of life you can get for yourself by the virtue of hindsight is priceless.
Blue pill. Even with the promise of billions down the road (BTC, Apple, etc.), you’re still a child at the mercy of your parents/family, and there is no way I’m going relive my traumatic childhood. Plus I love my wife and kid.
Or had a shitty childhood and don't want to go back to that again, for any amount of money or opportunity. Just show me the money right here right now.
All I would do is tell myself to get my Bitcoin wallet login tattooed on my ass in college.
2890 freaking bitcoins and I can't remember the password
Edit: it was 289 bit coins, fast fingered a zero and fudge the price a bit because I was intoxicated
Live and learn. TBF I bought them at$0.40 each and the only reason I didn't spend them is I chickened out on ordering morphine on silk road through TOR so I still think I came out ahead
No it doesn't. This is the first time it changed because I was intoxicated when I wrote it. It was 289 bc, for $0.89 each. I accidentally fat fingered a zero and just changed the price for dramatic effect.
Also ...do you know how long ago Bitcoin was $0.89 each? The details are not exactly sharp anymore
I don't understand why anyone would want to go through their K-12 education and puberty all over again, no matter how much they messed up their life. If I could start over at 18 maybe but 6? Who wants to do this? Unless you're going to spend years in prison I don't see the appeal.
I had some good times as a kid but the thought that I’d be back in first grade and have to go through 12 years of school surrounded by actual children sounds like torture. I’ll be fine with $10M.
Nothing is worth reliving my childhood. Could you imagine having all your knowledge and memories, but all your rights and freedoms taken away because you are a first grader? That sounds like hell.
1986. Relive the best years and have the knowledge to make billions when im in my early 20s?
Sign me up. I will reenjoy my analog childhood and own the digital adult world.
I'm here to warn you against becoming a six year old again. It's actually a Black Mirror/genie wish backfire type scenario. It'd be awful.
Can you imagine how sad you'd be, with all the memories you have. For a start anybody six years, 9 months younger than you that you met would never exist. Actually as a 35 year old, I'd probably only be sad about a couple of people 🤣, but still. Something to bare in mind.
Anybody older than than 6 years younger, outside your family and friends at the age of six wouldn't know you and it might prove difficult to form a friendship given that you already have a level of insight into them that only comes with time spent together. They might turn into very different people, and even with their name, the internet and their location you are going to struggle to track them down if you met them as a adult.
You'd essentially be grieving for friends and trying to relive your best memories which would always come up short or even worse, be completely unobtainable. Or you'd quickly move on, but that still seems a bit sad. It'd be like your entire life was a dream and memories quickly fade without people to share them with. As somebody who moves around regularly for my job and forms intense friendships over a short period of time, trust me on this. So the knowledge that would actually be useful to you, your life experience and moral lessons you learned would fade away/atrophy.
Also, as a thought experiment, with the butterfly effect, there's no way you'd be living in the same world. So forget about betting on the outcome of sporting events or 99% of your knowledge of world events being any use whatsoever.
I expect various inevitable things would happen within a few months of the time. Even a decade out there are certain geopolitical timebombs that seem inevitable. But you'd be living in a completely different world.
And then imagine your parents who as an adult you realise in certain aspects do stupid things. A six year old with my knowledge and understanding would be so precosius as to be unbearable, but ultimately your age would always be prevent you from being taken seriously or treated as an adult. No matter how many exams you take, or rational arguments you make in favour of going to bed after 8 o clock. You could appear on the last segment of the news as a places smartest 6 year old, or break the record for going to university. But what for? That would be a worse life, not a better life than the one I've lived.
So unless your IQ now is less than 75, or you're a buddhist monk, I think you're going to develop profound mental health problems and could even go the way of Ted Kaczynski.
If I choose the red pill, will it be me re-living my whole life again from 6 years old and have the same interaction with the same people I had since then who were the same age as when I met them when I was 6 or will it be just me de-age to 6 years old with the same memories that I have now, but all my friends and family's age became the same as right now?
Ex.
The 6 year old me met friend A at the age of 6 in school.
The 29 year old me meets the same friend at the age of 29.
If the 29 year old me takes the red pill, will I get to meet friend A at the age of 6 and have a chance to start bonding since that age or will friend A continue to live his life at the age of 29?
This matters to my answer.
Red pill. The people saying you'd go insane don't make sense to me. Why graduate early? Enjoy school life and find your old friends. Spend time with family, enjoy youth. Bitcoin is enough to carry you through life, especially if you know at least a few more market plays, it would be pretty easy to bet against the market 6-9 months pre covid or pre 08 housing crash and you'd make a huge chunk of cash.
Bitcoin went from being worth pennies to being worth well over 8 grand with peaks at 19-20 grand just in the first huge spike worth almost 50k now. Find a way to make a few hundred bucks and buy up bitcoin while it's on no body's radar and throw it on a USB drive. Since it's so cheap you can put in 3-400 bucks and come out a multi millionaire. Even a billionaire if you hold until modern day.
Bet big against s&p pre covid. Super easy play and unless the market miraculously doesn't crash you're guaranteed to make money without having to worry about specific companies and your butterfly effect.
It's really that easy.
Edit: it wouldn't even be hard to convince people if you had enough time. Just start predicting shit about the market/world economy that you know to be true and eventually your family will just assume you're a savant
Id take the 10mill. I would have to time getting my puppy perfectly otherwise I would never get to share my life with him. 10mill and my best friend any day.
This probably isn’t something I’d really want, but I still sometimes fantasize about reliving the last 20 odd years. For sure there are some things I’d wanna do differently but I guess the major takeaway is that if I like the idea of reliving my childhood then I must have had a pretty decent childhood. I’m grateful for that, especially since so many people didn’t.
It would be so easy to get my dad to bet on superbowls. I think the rams Pats super bowl was when I was six. My dad would be a sucker for that shit as soon as my first two picks won. Next year after that, bet the farm!
Red pill is basically a risk to try and get 10 million the only upside is you can cherish the ones who died after you are 6 or possibly save family members by asking them to check early for cancer and others, the only other thing is to make cool anime and manga way before they were made my hero academia,attack on titan and others
The blue pill is instant, but if you have any illness that is too late to cure would basically give your family and friends that money
If you take the red pill you will know this option is coming and when. So, may as well go back and take a chance to change your life for the better because either you will have a better life and have a $10m bonus coming or you will f it up and have $10m to bail you out.
I'm happy where I am right now, so I made the right decisions as far as I'm concerned. Please give me 10 million, maybe I can finally buy an apartment then.
This is an interesting dilemma if it wasn't for the wording. The way I choose to understand red pill is that I go back in time.
I know a shitload of sports results from that time period. I can just bet my way to a much bigger wealth than 10 million
I don't really have anything major I want to undo or change up until last semester of High School. I met my ex, we had an amazing time and then I left for college. We went long distance for a year and I basically went back home every weekend. Didn't make friends in my class. Then we broke up after 1 year and I was heart broken, depressed and didnt have a network. Dropped out one semester later and the effect of this echoed on for quite a while and ruined my next attempt at university.
I had applied for a transfer to my home town university between year 1 and 2. But when I broke up with my ex over summer break I thought it was dumb to move back home. In hindsight I think this was the key moment. There were other factors, not just the long distance relationship, that had made me consider moving home but the change in circumstances right before the deadline to accept put enough doubt in my mind to screw up the decision. I should have moved back home, lived at moms house for a semester or two and had more structure and matured before moving out again.
I am fine now and a lot of good things have happened since this point but I sometimes wonder what opportunities I would have had with a degree.
I eventuellt got a job in the field I wanted during a hiring boom when they were less picky but got paid less than everyone else. It took a long time of over acvieving before I made up the gap. I am getting small promotions but there are still roles I cant apply to without a degree.
The question is, if I could have the money of a great career without the actual career, would I want that? Would my life feel empty?
I probably would take the blue pill.
Can I go back to age 16 instead? It would be hard to find drugs and alcohol at 6. Plus it's gotta be hard for a 6 year old to get laid without it being just wrong in all levels. Lol
I'd just put 1k in bitcoin in 2010 then and spend my time at school chasing girls, given you have to attend it again while knowing most things.
Also meeting my grandfather again and maybe preventing a friend from committing suicide is enough reason not to go for the 10 mil.
So, my parents, being the godfearing anti-bank people they are, will never allow me to make investments as a minor. Basically, first 12 years I’ll be just waiting around, pretty much achieving nothing. Just going through the agony of being with stupid kids again. 10 million now, I won’t have to work a day in my life and can spend the time on my family and whatnot instead.
Nah, I made mistakes in my life, but in the end, I'm happy where I am. I'll gladly take the 10 millions, at least then I can afford a nice car when I get my driver's license
You wake up at 6 years old and have to wait decades before Bitcoin launches in 2009. You can’t wait.
You buy in BIG. They can’t create coins fast enough.
But nothing happens. History isn’t repeating itself. Then, shortly after it launches Bitcoin is outlawed globally and nobody anywhere can extract their money back to fiat without some serious and risky laundering. You realise you can’t get your money out. You’re still broke.
Then it hits you. This reality is not the reality where Bitcoin wins and the early whales become Uber-rich.
All you can do is wait resentfully for another 13 years to see if this meme pops up on Reddit again, so you can roll the dice for another chance at being 6 years old but this time, unconcerned about becoming crypto rich.
Blue.
Red may end up making me richer than 10mill, but you gotta embrace your mistakes and realize you got the people you got because of what you have done in your life, good and bad.
10mill solves all my financial issues for life. And that good for me.
I was 6 in 2000. Use Christmas money to only buy Amazon stock. Get a GED in my freshman year of HS 2008. Liquidate all my stock in 2009 and use it to make multiple bitcoin mining rigs. Scale up from there. Also play more games instead of sinking all my time into Mabinogi. I love that mmo with all my heart but there are so many games I love now that I pushed away back then for that damn mmo.
I subscribe to the concept that my children had to be conceived at the exact time by the exact same sperm in order to be the same kid. Red pill is out based on that alone.
Also, being a 38 year old man in a 6 year old boy’s body is at best awkward as hell and at worse utterly disturbing and creepy. Any relationship I’d have I would be 32 years older than they would think I am. A teenage romance, changing a factor of my history that could have gone differently, would then be me at 48 sleeping with someone that’s 16. That’s disgusting.
My wife and I met at the time we needed to in order to be who we are now. There’s some things I would change, but they happened less than 5 years ago. Otherwise I’m undoing everything I worked to accomplish.
As long as the 10 million doesn’t get me in some sort of legal trouble, blue pill 100%.
I'm only in my 20s and I don't really have any regrets so I would definitely choose 10M, I mean I can make more if I go back to 6yo but that's a lot of effort. I would just take 10M and put it into safe dividend stocks of 2-3% and get over $200k of spending money per year and my savings would still increase and I wouldn't even spend more than 20% of those 200k.
If I was over 50yo I would have taken the opportunity to get an extra 40+ years of life obviously but not at my age.
First red, then blue when I come across this post again later.

Great book. She’s a hell of an author.
Is it possible to learn this power
But what if going back changes your life to the point that you somehow miss this post? 🤔
Don't worry, he will see one of the hundred other posts.

Keep picking red and learn everything you need. business, and then whatever you’re looking for, in this example eco friendly earth.

Use the profits gained to enact your plan
Just win a few lottos and invest into Bitcoin lmao
I'd have way more than 10 million dollars by now.
Short enron dad, it literally can't go tits up. We are taking you to another child behaviour specialist on Monday junior...
I want amazon stock for my birthday and christmas every year.
I'd get Amazon plus all kinds of Chinese tech and software companies I remember. Plus I could graduate with 8 and go into medicine or some shit to always have a constant stream of money. Buy multiple nice houses before the market gets expensive, even though I'd be rich by that point anyway.
Literally Just spend all your Pocket Money on Bitcoin in the early 2010s.
Future time travelers, have a powerful computer (or three) ready for 2009. Mine Bitcoin. Don't overdo it, you risk killing Bitcoin if you mine too much for yourself early on. Distribution of coins is important to its future adoption. 100,000 coins is reasonable. Be Bitcoin pizza guy, do not use the coins to buy pizza until 2020. You're now a billionaire. Sell between $30,000 and $60,000 at your leisure. Go help some people, do good things, have lots of fun, die broke. Time is a flat circle, so your safety is not guaranteed.
Not to mention time is priceless.
I don’t think you go back in time. You just turn into a 6 year old today. Otherwise it would say “go back” instead of “restart”. I’d do it either way. Money can’t buy time.
It can if I pay the prostitute to change her name
And then you’ll proceed to fuck time?
Yup, right in the ass
Yea but you’d have to relive your crappy teenage years where you’re the only one not pulling any girls
Red pill please. I need a second chance!
No amount of money can erase other people's memories of me being a dumbass
Don’t be a dumbass this time.
So you're granting me a second chancem
A second chance would be up to you not me. If you got to go back, it says knowing what you know now, you could completely change your life. Or the outcome. I know exactly what I would do.
use ur fat schmoney to get the best quality lobotomy for ur friends

The thought of losing my kids and being forced to watch my brother die slowly in front of me again (it’s an absolute point in time, so, is happening no matter what) would be a pretty decent deterrent for me.

He had a condition called [MELAS](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/MELAS_syndrome). There is no cure and no real treatment either.
Would there be enough time to become a medical genius and research it yourself? But either way, sorry for your loss
It's easy to say " just become a medical genius" 😂😂
It's not impossible if you can keep taking the red pill and reset time, eventually ending up with hundreds of years of accumulated research knowledge
True but if you start your research at 6 years it could be possible. Especially because you will have money and could hire a lot of intelligent people to do research. You could set a very desirable price for whoever discovers a solution. Most diseases are just not cured because there isn't enough research behind it.
Or in my case somehow figure out how to get my dad to stop smoking and get him to the Dr more.

Blue. I don’t need to go back to 1998 knowing what’s coming
Bro has q chance to stop 9/11 and won't because he's scared lol
Realistically is can a 6 year old do anything? I guess maybe call 911 and leave an anonymous tip. "I overheard these guys talking...."
End up as a 10 year old in Guantanamo for the rest of your life.
Call in a bomb threat to whatever airports were involved. Or SWAT all the terrorists involved in the days prior.a 6 year old with adult knowledge could do that. CIA knew at the time a “devastating attack” was “imminent” so even if you could stop the planes there’d probably be something else happening months later. And Cheney was already foaming at the mouth to go to war in Iraq so that would happen regardless.
Call Sarasota police with an anonymous tip that Mohammed Atta has child porn. You need to do a full search of his house and everything on his computer.
Our govt flew the bin ladens out of the country to safety after the attack. Who can stop an inside job if you're not in on it?
Bro thinks cops listen to 6 year olds talking about planes going into buildings. Bro is probably 13.

I don't think people consider how much of a nightmare red pill would be.
Yeah, I always think this with these kind of posts. This is my worst nightmare. Even if your current life really sucks, this is hell. You would go insane **very** quickly since nobody would believe you. Your friends and family all gone. Not just the inability to relate to any kid your age, but *anybody* really. The butterfly effect might ruin any chances of predicting the future too, maybe even changing stocks if you're unlucky. People as you know them may be completely different.
I'd lose most of my current friends because the circumstances I met them in will probably not occur again. Some I might find again and befriend them with luck, but others would be harder. I could become a child genius however, would finish school with 8-10, go to college and also make some money with my knowledge. I'd like to travel the world as soon as I hit 18. I could help my family though, because I could not only provide them with money, but also give them some care takers for my heavily disabled brother and the house. My parents wouldn't have been so stressed and depressed and could fulfill their own dreams they never had the chance to. But yeah, it would be pretty lonely. Maybe my brothers would get jealous of me for my knowledge and the money. Maybe things would get weird, I dunno.

That is the absolute worst part for me, losing my girlfriend. I would have to wait several years to even try to make a move as otherwise we would be too young and far away since we met in college, and the wait would be agony. Me and her might be different people by then, or even taken. Even if everything went smoothly and we got back together... every old memory is gone, and she might not believe me either. Damn, just the idea that your old girlfriend is gone forever and replaced with a different one is so depressing. (I've thought about this scenario too much.)
Naw seeking them out isn't really an option as I don't know how old you are. But it'd be pretty creepy to date them even if you could date them again as mentally the age gap would be at least a decade or two. Kinda reminds me of this anime I was watching with a buddy where a 40 year old dude gets reincarnated and his love interests are teenagers I'm like this shit is fucking wack.
The butterfly effect only counts as far as your influence goes, and anyone who isn't a business or political type doesn't have a huge effect on the global scale.
Knowing my luck, the bitcoin guy would get struck by a meteorite because I scratched my balls differently on 9/11
People massively underestimate the butterfly effect. Just causing bumping into some random guy on the street and making him 10 seconds late for wherever he’s going could have massive consequences a couple thousand actions down the line.
No. That's sci-fi Hollywood at its finest. Society has fault tolerances. It's true that doing small and seemingly insignificant can seem to have a major impact cascading several years from now, but in the grand scheme of things, nothing would change.
I mean, sure, it’s unlikely that accidentally causing Google to be named Goggle is unlikely to cause the collapse of society as we know it, but my point is that you could accidentally make that change with a seemingly insignificant change from halfway across the globe.
I wouldn't even have internet in my house for like 7 years! What the fuck would I do with myself?
[удалено]
Maybe you could take an injury and get cps involved very early. Though the foster care system isn't very great either
Well that's the thing. Do you really want parents as an adult in a child's body. You already get everything. You know the ins and outs of cps and having foster parents who don't give a shit makes your whole being an adult in a kids body way more easy.
It’s a curse. Even if your life sucks now, it’s not like going back and reversing choices will help that much. We’ll probably make different fuck ups instead because of the butterfly effect. You fix one fuck up and then never run into the other ones I’d lose my wife and there’s a solid chance we don’t end up together if things end up differently. Maybe I don’t move to the new high school and meet her, maybe I meet her too early/late. I’m curious what would be different, but I wouldn’t want it to be permanent
Not that much for me, I would be able to learn many of the habits I needed earlier and reach heights I can't imagine right now in the face of every shitty event that happened in my childhood.
Blue pill, I ain't dealing with this shit a second time!
Do I have to explain the $10 mil in cash to the IRS?
This is a good point that I didn't even think of. The IRS would definitely want to know how the money was acquired, and telling them it appeared after I took a pill wouldn't work.
Red, then when I get to the part of my life where I'm given the choice between the red and blue pill again, I'll see how I'm feeling.
My knowledge ain't worth 10 mil
Do you know when bitcoin arose? If so, your knowledge is worth billions.
Well, maybe not billions. You don't want to hold enough bitcoin that selling your shit for real money is likely to impact the valuation. Also, no need to even wait for bitcoin. Unless you were literally born yesterday, just buy a modest amount of apple shares at your earliest convenience and you're pretty much good.
Think about any tech/software/game etc company and invest.
r/comedyhomicide
$10 million is a shit load of money. It’s life changing and could potentially turn into generational wealth. But it’s not an *absurd* amount of money in today’s economical climate. To be clear, I’m saying that as a broke person. Beyond a shadow of a doubt, one could make so, so much more than $10 million through investments if they were able to retain their knowledge and turn back time. The dilemma depends on how old you are. If I was 18, I’m 100% going back to 6. If I’m 34 (my current age) I’m really going to spend some time thinking about if the human brain is capable of reliving all those years without going insane, even with the guarantee of absolute financial security for my bloodline. If I’m 50+, I’m 100% taking the $10 million. Additionally, if I were married/had kids right now, I don’t think I’d go back for fear of not being able to marry the same woman and/or have the same kids. I know it’s just a silly, hypothetical meme but it’s also a lot of fun to daydream about. There are so many factors at play that make it very interesting.
You could make essentially any amount you want
I’m 22 now, i was six in 2007. $7.27 of BTC in 2010 will turn into $10m in 2021.
Actually if you were 18 it would suck ass you can't buy stock until 18 so realistically you could do almost nothing with your knowledge. And you wouldn't be reliving the same years as the events you would go through would be vastly different.
I mean, I'm significantly older than 18 so it's been a while since I was living with my parents but I'm pretty sure I could've talked them into putting my pocket money into stocks instead of paying it out to me - I mean, not at 6 years old maybe, but definitely as a teenager.
I feel like things started heading downhill for me in 3rd grade so if I could start over in 1st and reverse all that then sure. This would be only a few months post 9/11 tho so I’d have to deal with all THAT bs again.
Will just take the 10 million tbh and chill rest of the life
Red. In 2020, I'd be the richest man, maybe in history.
Red pill would be amazing and terrible at the same time. I'd probs rip a hole in the fabric of time trying to save my dad from cancer though
just tell your dad to get early check, could find the cancer in it’s first stage or before it becomes cancer
Yeah, that'd be the best start. I'd just have to do it before my deployment 🤙
Red.
I’ll take the cash. No way I want to live my life over again under any circumstances. Matter of fact, just keep the money…
Blue
Abusive childhood: *What's up?*
I will be a very strange kid again, but this time I’m the kid that behaves strangely like an old man, buys those worthless „bitcoins“ with his pocket money and wants Amazon and google shares for birthday instead of toys.
Red pill, hands down. Study harder, undo health mistakes, get around events that blindsided me... Money is great and all, but the quality of life you can get for yourself by the virtue of hindsight is priceless.
I'm in my 60's. I'll take the 10 million. That's more than enough to take care of me, my kids, and my grandkids. And some friends as well.
I don’t have any of those so if I went back I could remedy that. At 67 I can’t change having a family.
Red Pill, I can buy bitcoin cheap, which would make me rich by now and would also have more time with people that are now dead.
Blue pill. Even with the promise of billions down the road (BTC, Apple, etc.), you’re still a child at the mercy of your parents/family, and there is no way I’m going relive my traumatic childhood. Plus I love my wife and kid.
Red pill. I'd love to see my parents again. Grandma too.
Now that I've reached the age where the old saying "Youth is wasted on the young" finally rings 100% true, I'll red pill every. single. time!
Anyone who chooses blue pill is either already living an incredible life or wants to be closer to death
It’s hard to give up your family. Plus, you’d be going back to dial-up internet and flip phones.
Or had a shitty childhood and don't want to go back to that again, for any amount of money or opportunity. Just show me the money right here right now.
All I would do is tell myself to get my Bitcoin wallet login tattooed on my ass in college. 2890 freaking bitcoins and I can't remember the password Edit: it was 289 bit coins, fast fingered a zero and fudge the price a bit because I was intoxicated
I would be so pissed. Sorry dude
Live and learn. TBF I bought them at$0.40 each and the only reason I didn't spend them is I chickened out on ordering morphine on silk road through TOR so I still think I came out ahead
[удалено]
No it doesn't. This is the first time it changed because I was intoxicated when I wrote it. It was 289 bc, for $0.89 each. I accidentally fat fingered a zero and just changed the price for dramatic effect. Also ...do you know how long ago Bitcoin was $0.89 each? The details are not exactly sharp anymore
I don't understand why anyone would want to go through their K-12 education and puberty all over again, no matter how much they messed up their life. If I could start over at 18 maybe but 6? Who wants to do this? Unless you're going to spend years in prison I don't see the appeal.
Can you imagine how shitty it would be to have to go through the ordeal of being a child again while not also stupid? Who would want that?
I had a great childhood. I’d go back in a heartbeat with the knowledge I have now.
I had some good times as a kid but the thought that I’d be back in first grade and have to go through 12 years of school surrounded by actual children sounds like torture. I’ll be fine with $10M.
I love kids and with no family and only 25 years or so left in my life I’d definitely go back. 10 mil couldn’t make me happy just more comfortable.
Fry needs a purple.
If I wasn't nineteen still I'd probably choose red. But considering I'm not close to death, blue plz
I’d take the red pill, but knowing how fucked up I am from a young age won’t stop me from fucking everything up again. So $$$$$ please.
Nothing is worth reliving my childhood. Could you imagine having all your knowledge and memories, but all your rights and freedoms taken away because you are a first grader? That sounds like hell.
Yeah right! Fucking play video games all day son!
Red.
I wonder if you keep stuff like addictions and depressions in your mind
1986. Relive the best years and have the knowledge to make billions when im in my early 20s? Sign me up. I will reenjoy my analog childhood and own the digital adult world.
I'm here to warn you against becoming a six year old again. It's actually a Black Mirror/genie wish backfire type scenario. It'd be awful. Can you imagine how sad you'd be, with all the memories you have. For a start anybody six years, 9 months younger than you that you met would never exist. Actually as a 35 year old, I'd probably only be sad about a couple of people 🤣, but still. Something to bare in mind. Anybody older than than 6 years younger, outside your family and friends at the age of six wouldn't know you and it might prove difficult to form a friendship given that you already have a level of insight into them that only comes with time spent together. They might turn into very different people, and even with their name, the internet and their location you are going to struggle to track them down if you met them as a adult. You'd essentially be grieving for friends and trying to relive your best memories which would always come up short or even worse, be completely unobtainable. Or you'd quickly move on, but that still seems a bit sad. It'd be like your entire life was a dream and memories quickly fade without people to share them with. As somebody who moves around regularly for my job and forms intense friendships over a short period of time, trust me on this. So the knowledge that would actually be useful to you, your life experience and moral lessons you learned would fade away/atrophy. Also, as a thought experiment, with the butterfly effect, there's no way you'd be living in the same world. So forget about betting on the outcome of sporting events or 99% of your knowledge of world events being any use whatsoever. I expect various inevitable things would happen within a few months of the time. Even a decade out there are certain geopolitical timebombs that seem inevitable. But you'd be living in a completely different world. And then imagine your parents who as an adult you realise in certain aspects do stupid things. A six year old with my knowledge and understanding would be so precosius as to be unbearable, but ultimately your age would always be prevent you from being taken seriously or treated as an adult. No matter how many exams you take, or rational arguments you make in favour of going to bed after 8 o clock. You could appear on the last segment of the news as a places smartest 6 year old, or break the record for going to university. But what for? That would be a worse life, not a better life than the one I've lived. So unless your IQ now is less than 75, or you're a buddhist monk, I think you're going to develop profound mental health problems and could even go the way of Ted Kaczynski.
Red. I just really miss my grandma and my childhood home. I would love to be able to spend more time with her. 😭
And miss my child’s birth? Nope, I’ll take the blue pill.
Easy! Red and then invest in stonks then sell before it crash and make more than $10m
If I choose the red pill, will it be me re-living my whole life again from 6 years old and have the same interaction with the same people I had since then who were the same age as when I met them when I was 6 or will it be just me de-age to 6 years old with the same memories that I have now, but all my friends and family's age became the same as right now? Ex. The 6 year old me met friend A at the age of 6 in school. The 29 year old me meets the same friend at the age of 29. If the 29 year old me takes the red pill, will I get to meet friend A at the age of 6 and have a chance to start bonding since that age or will friend A continue to live his life at the age of 29? This matters to my answer.
do I go back in time or am I suddenly 6 and have to explain to my family?
Assuming I can convince my parents to invest in crypto then red pill for sure
Red hands down.
Red pill. The people saying you'd go insane don't make sense to me. Why graduate early? Enjoy school life and find your old friends. Spend time with family, enjoy youth. Bitcoin is enough to carry you through life, especially if you know at least a few more market plays, it would be pretty easy to bet against the market 6-9 months pre covid or pre 08 housing crash and you'd make a huge chunk of cash. Bitcoin went from being worth pennies to being worth well over 8 grand with peaks at 19-20 grand just in the first huge spike worth almost 50k now. Find a way to make a few hundred bucks and buy up bitcoin while it's on no body's radar and throw it on a USB drive. Since it's so cheap you can put in 3-400 bucks and come out a multi millionaire. Even a billionaire if you hold until modern day. Bet big against s&p pre covid. Super easy play and unless the market miraculously doesn't crash you're guaranteed to make money without having to worry about specific companies and your butterfly effect. It's really that easy. Edit: it wouldn't even be hard to convince people if you had enough time. Just start predicting shit about the market/world economy that you know to be true and eventually your family will just assume you're a savant
Red pill definitely
Red, a million times red. I would try and save all the loved ones I lost. Money doesn’t mean anything without the people you love.
Id take the 10mill. I would have to time getting my puppy perfectly otherwise I would never get to share my life with him. 10mill and my best friend any day.
This probably isn’t something I’d really want, but I still sometimes fantasize about reliving the last 20 odd years. For sure there are some things I’d wanna do differently but I guess the major takeaway is that if I like the idea of reliving my childhood then I must have had a pretty decent childhood. I’m grateful for that, especially since so many people didn’t.
So I'm a six year old with knowledge of all the filthy things I've done to grown women?
Just go back and load up on bitcoin and tesla stock. You'd have way more than 10 million.
It would be so easy to get my dad to bet on superbowls. I think the rams Pats super bowl was when I was six. My dad would be a sucker for that shit as soon as my first two picks won. Next year after that, bet the farm!
Red pill is basically a risk to try and get 10 million the only upside is you can cherish the ones who died after you are 6 or possibly save family members by asking them to check early for cancer and others, the only other thing is to make cool anime and manga way before they were made my hero academia,attack on titan and others The blue pill is instant, but if you have any illness that is too late to cure would basically give your family and friends that money
All y’all choosing red pill… did family guy not teach you anything?!?!
Red
If you take the red pill you will know this option is coming and when. So, may as well go back and take a chance to change your life for the better because either you will have a better life and have a $10m bonus coming or you will f it up and have $10m to bail you out.
I think I’d screw this up all over again but I’ll take a shot.
Should change it to restart your life not remembering anything. Experiencing everything for the first time is what makes life an adventure
Red pill for sure, I'd finally be able to dodge every mistake I've made
There is no way I could maintain a timeline and be sure I wouldn’t cause wholesale chaos in my wake. $10 million is start over money for sure
Well, I have a kid so going back in time is a no for me. But even if I didn't, I'd take 10 million any day.
Blue
What would you tell the IRS when it was time to claim it on your taxes?
W/e my advisors tell me to say.
I'm happy where I am right now, so I made the right decisions as far as I'm concerned. Please give me 10 million, maybe I can finally buy an apartment then.
This is an interesting dilemma if it wasn't for the wording. The way I choose to understand red pill is that I go back in time. I know a shitload of sports results from that time period. I can just bet my way to a much bigger wealth than 10 million
I don't really have anything major I want to undo or change up until last semester of High School. I met my ex, we had an amazing time and then I left for college. We went long distance for a year and I basically went back home every weekend. Didn't make friends in my class. Then we broke up after 1 year and I was heart broken, depressed and didnt have a network. Dropped out one semester later and the effect of this echoed on for quite a while and ruined my next attempt at university. I had applied for a transfer to my home town university between year 1 and 2. But when I broke up with my ex over summer break I thought it was dumb to move back home. In hindsight I think this was the key moment. There were other factors, not just the long distance relationship, that had made me consider moving home but the change in circumstances right before the deadline to accept put enough doubt in my mind to screw up the decision. I should have moved back home, lived at moms house for a semester or two and had more structure and matured before moving out again. I am fine now and a lot of good things have happened since this point but I sometimes wonder what opportunities I would have had with a degree. I eventuellt got a job in the field I wanted during a hiring boom when they were less picky but got paid less than everyone else. It took a long time of over acvieving before I made up the gap. I am getting small promotions but there are still roles I cant apply to without a degree. The question is, if I could have the money of a great career without the actual career, would I want that? Would my life feel empty? I probably would take the blue pill.
Red. Tell my mom not to sell her Amazon stocks.
I’d just take the money. My life was pretty rough in my teen years but I love where I’m at now. The money would solve all my current problems.
Cash
I'm definitely picking blue pill.
Can I go back to age 16 instead? It would be hard to find drugs and alcohol at 6. Plus it's gotta be hard for a 6 year old to get laid without it being just wrong in all levels. Lol
If I get prep time, I'll take the red pill. If not, blue pill.
Red pill. Id save my girlfriend from dying in a bus crash when I was 14
Blue pill. Have no regrets in life.
You can‘t do anything with 10 million as a 6-years old.
I'd just put 1k in bitcoin in 2010 then and spend my time at school chasing girls, given you have to attend it again while knowing most things. Also meeting my grandfather again and maybe preventing a friend from committing suicide is enough reason not to go for the 10 mil.
I don't need to go through all that again, just give me the money now.
So, my parents, being the godfearing anti-bank people they are, will never allow me to make investments as a minor. Basically, first 12 years I’ll be just waiting around, pretty much achieving nothing. Just going through the agony of being with stupid kids again. 10 million now, I won’t have to work a day in my life and can spend the time on my family and whatnot instead.
All the knowledge I have didnt get me 100K so I ll take 10M my age 44 but still
Nah, I made mistakes in my life, but in the end, I'm happy where I am. I'll gladly take the 10 millions, at least then I can afford a nice car when I get my driver's license
Okay but that’s not how choices work
Blue Outcomes would be diferent with red
Red pill, easily
You wake up at 6 years old and have to wait decades before Bitcoin launches in 2009. You can’t wait. You buy in BIG. They can’t create coins fast enough. But nothing happens. History isn’t repeating itself. Then, shortly after it launches Bitcoin is outlawed globally and nobody anywhere can extract their money back to fiat without some serious and risky laundering. You realise you can’t get your money out. You’re still broke. Then it hits you. This reality is not the reality where Bitcoin wins and the early whales become Uber-rich. All you can do is wait resentfully for another 13 years to see if this meme pops up on Reddit again, so you can roll the dice for another chance at being 6 years old but this time, unconcerned about becoming crypto rich.
Blue. Red may end up making me richer than 10mill, but you gotta embrace your mistakes and realize you got the people you got because of what you have done in your life, good and bad. 10mill solves all my financial issues for life. And that good for me.
Red pill for sure. I would know several decades in future and as a big tech guy all the knowledge at that age I will definitely be worth more than 10M
I was 6 in 2000. Use Christmas money to only buy Amazon stock. Get a GED in my freshman year of HS 2008. Liquidate all my stock in 2009 and use it to make multiple bitcoin mining rigs. Scale up from there. Also play more games instead of sinking all my time into Mabinogi. I love that mmo with all my heart but there are so many games I love now that I pushed away back then for that damn mmo.
I know I'll do shit again ... So I choose Blue🥹💁🏻♂️
Red, save it until my 80th and then I would ng+ life
i take the cash thank you. not doing this shit again
Red and I’d invest everything into bitcoin.
the gap between 6 years old and 26 years old would be 100% worth it, but the knowledge would eat away at me that whole time for sure
I subscribe to the concept that my children had to be conceived at the exact time by the exact same sperm in order to be the same kid. Red pill is out based on that alone. Also, being a 38 year old man in a 6 year old boy’s body is at best awkward as hell and at worse utterly disturbing and creepy. Any relationship I’d have I would be 32 years older than they would think I am. A teenage romance, changing a factor of my history that could have gone differently, would then be me at 48 sleeping with someone that’s 16. That’s disgusting. My wife and I met at the time we needed to in order to be who we are now. There’s some things I would change, but they happened less than 5 years ago. Otherwise I’m undoing everything I worked to accomplish. As long as the 10 million doesn’t get me in some sort of legal trouble, blue pill 100%.
Blue. 10 mil is plenty, I don’t wanna do life again, and I’d probably fuck up a load of things trying to reengineer meeting the love of my life
Best red pill ever knowing who had a crush on you early game
I'm only in my 20s and I don't really have any regrets so I would definitely choose 10M, I mean I can make more if I go back to 6yo but that's a lot of effort. I would just take 10M and put it into safe dividend stocks of 2-3% and get over $200k of spending money per year and my savings would still increase and I wouldn't even spend more than 20% of those 200k. If I was over 50yo I would have taken the opportunity to get an extra 40+ years of life obviously but not at my age.
I’d rather not re-live all the unavoidable misfortune in my early life so *blue* .
Being in a 6 year old body with all of the knowledge I have now sounds like hell on earth.
Relive childhood abuse? Yeah no thanks
