If you could start your whole life over..

[snoop dogg***]

i'd be a child prodigy. i'd be college level in grade one. i'd use this knowledge to invent and exploit time travel. probably turn into some sort of evil genius and try to take over the world.

only problem is you will peak once you start getting into harder classes. unless you are some sort of genius now..

 

[AgeofEmpires2**]

You could play dumb and just go through the motions.
You'd have your homework done in seconds and you could be outside playing stickball in no time!

..or invent facebook, whichever.

But that's what we all did the first time.

I would never buy a Nintendo, stay fit and athletic, and devout most of my time to sports. I would have a game plan before blindly going off to college, and ask out all the girls I was afraid to, who later in life said, "I had such a crush on you, why didn't you ask me out?"

Sounds like a plan for getting the herp, doesn't it?

Tell my dad to buy a shitload of apple stock and bet on superbowl results when the season starts.

Lisa Simpson is that you?

 

[Loiseau]

I would just like to go back about 7 months..... I fucked up a few really good things here lately.

 

[kuromusha]

Haha that football betting episode was great. Got to watch that again.

 

[Iroh]

Yes I would. I would do everything differently.

 

[Brockbygogo]

hell yeah, I could become a Pride elitist and shit all over UFC threads in the heavies

 

[SamuraiWolf]

Okay I'll play this game but first off I would rewind my college years over and over again. If you're going to rewind the glory years you might as well do the best ones. But one thing I'd do for sure is take my interests more serious and put more effort into them. I wasted some talents an opportunities over the years in sports and music. I'm not claiming I would have been a major rock star but I was more than a solid enough musician to earn a living off of it as a session player, engineer etc. I could have made decent money what I loved doing.

Same thing with sports and martial arts I had opportunities to compete a higher levels than I was at but never really put enough focus into it until I was already starting to get too old.

I guess I would have appreciated the time more and what I could have done with it instead of trying to figure out what it was I wanted to do. I could take my knowledge from now and apply to a re-boot. And yeah I guess I could do things like invest in companies and gamble on events etc. But yeah I'd use the opportunity to be a better version of me and of course do the college thing over and over again.

 

[Silverblur]

I would except that the butterfly effect would mean that my little brother and sister would never be born. Couldn't do that, so that's a no from me.

We've all been there man. I know what it's like. You just have to let time heal those wounds but never forget your mistakes. Your personal history can be a great lesson and motivation to move and make the most of the next big/good thing in your life. Things can never go back to normal they can only move forward to your new reality.

Give up my super model girl-friend, my porn star other other girl-friend, 5 million dollar house, my Lambo, Ferrari, Mercedes, my 50 closest friends, my million dollar job and my deep friendship with Jack Savage and Rupschlecht? No way.

 

[zackryder]

everything muhahaha!

 

[Son of Jamin]

Finish my degrees earlier instead of wasting time with my buddies.
Begin practising mma earlier.
Avoid a couple of heartbreaks with old girlfriends.
Tell my mother to divorce my father much earlier.

 

[drainbamage]

without a doubt

 

[stressdesilets]

avoid sticking my penis to that pole in the winter of 86.

 

[Jing]

rewinding all the way back to the first grade. would you?
here's the deal: you have all of the knowledge you have now but you have to go back to the first grade and start there.

what would you do differently?

This thought experiment is flawed to it's very core. If you time travel consciously in to a much younger version of you, the collective experiences that made you, you, cease to exist unless you're entering an alternate you in a different reality. In which case you wouldn't be you, nor would your family be really your family.

Everything that you are now at this very moment is the sum of your experiences filtered through personal emotions and systems of evaluation that were under constant reconstruction. By going back you're rewriting your past and those experiences never happened leaving you right back to being a 1st grader with the mind and body of one. Congrats, you've learned nothing.

Shut up and answer the question.
