breh you can keep the duffel bag...

i would just go back 5-6 months with those powerball numbers

i would replace the old me with minimal impact


This is probably the best answer. I was thinking about going back to invent Amazon but that's too much of a grind PLUS it's not guaranteed to be a slam dunk given that bezos would probably be on my heels either way.


Plus at 5-6 months you could probably just hit up your own closet so yeah fukk a duffel bag :russ:

I'd go back to West Africa in 1470, and take a duffel bag full of guns and ammo and the technology will be the schematics to mass produce more guns/ammo/bombs etc.etc. by using the resources readily available on the continent. Then i'd unite the peoples under one banner and train/build with them for the next 10-15 years or however long exactly it takes for the Europeans to arrive. Then this time shyt's going to be different.

shyt now i want to write a novel about this

Im pretty happy with my life now but i would figure out how to come up on enough money to be comfortable the rest of my life. Toxic people in my life are gonna still be toxic but ill have the means to get away from them unlike now.

Getting fukked over in life taught me a lot and i wouldnt want to lose that or seem like the a$$hole for cutting people off before they did me wrong.

I thought this was a easy question but it's not. Initially I thought since I don't have any kids I could go back as far as I want. I was thinking about going back when Amazon or Facebook first went public, or when apple first introduced the iphone, or crytopcurrency first took off. I could invest in either of those time period and make me and my family rich. Then I thought I could go back even farther and maybe help prevent a couple of my relatives death. But even a slight change might have a major impact on your life. If I made my family rich too soon some of my nieces and nephew might not be born. I'm not sure everyone in my family might can handle wealth earlier in their life so some might not will be here today.

@cobra had the best answer and only going back 5-6 months so it will have limited impact on your life. I will still go back but only about a year max.

Think about how simple decisions like going out one night and meeting a friend or a woman may have had a huge impact on your life. Now you’re traveling back through time and changing small things that led to moments that changed not only your life, but other people’s lives you may not have considered.

I read something recently that said according to Facebook friends we are only separated by about three people. That’s crazy to wrap your mind around. All of us are connected, meaning all of our actions are connected.

There’s no right or wrong answer to this question, it’s just one I think of when I’m bored.

As tempting as it would be, I wouldn’t go back. I’d lose some people I love if I did. Life isn’t easy, but I’m comfortable even when shyt gets rough. I’m happy with what I have and thankful for the things I’ve been able to see and do.

Been thinking on this one and the whole butterfly effect/chaos theory thing is just too strong because changing one variable can unleash a whirlwind on the house of cards that forms so many lives.

That said I'll share a answer from another when posed with the same question:

"Simple. I'd take a portable nuke or some shyt way back to the first point when the first proto human gained self awareness and wipe all of them out"

Sure its a tad nihilistic but thats just how homie rolls and if you stop and think about it he really does have a very, very good point in that it would eradicate so much suffering over so many generations that so many have endured because if you truly look at any life with stark honesty its a story of occasional fleeting moments of joy punctuated with long alternations of boredom and suffering.

Now some of us would look at those glimpses of light as the true state of the human being and reflective of our innate nature and others would say what you feel the majority of the time is who you are period and the joy is a temporary reprieve/delusion to stop you blowing your brains out because a drowning man will hold onto a brick if he thinks it will help rather that face the alternative.

Like I said breh, deep question that needs not just surface analysis but way below as well because it fundamentally touches on what it means to be human in this crazy world where the difference between alone and al one is but punctuation....

I would go back to middle school and bring instructions on how to be fit and invest in Bitcoin when the time comes.

But something tells me if I didn’t screw up as much as I did I wouldn’t be where I am now.

I absolutely LOVE those time traveling scenarios & movies like butterfly effect etc.
But because of that Id most likely choose to not change anything. Even the slightest changes could have some absolutely horrible consequences....
