Would you do it all over again?

[Deleted member 409801]

As tempting as it'd be to go back I couldnt do it for 1 reason......make that's 3 reasons, and that's my kid's. I mean the stars have to line up perfectly for any one individual to be concieved as you'd and you'd never replicate those circumstances and by extension that person again if the timing was even 2 minutes off. Being a bazzillionaire would be sweet and all , but no way........couldn't deal with the whole scrubbing my kids from existence thing.

Sure, I've got a few regrets here and there, things I'd change up , but I'm pretty damn content with life ATM

 

[OverCoronavirus Pressure]

I love my life.
But just as an example there's a devastating car accident I'd follow my notes about avoiding by having myself in the driver's seat and not the wife.

Who wouldn't want to try it over at sixteen?

 

[kahiljabroni]

Lifes pretty good but id have to take that deal. First off i was crushing some hot cheerleaders at the time so theres that. I would dedicate myself completely to my studies in the hopes of getting a scholarship. Id spend more time with family members who've passed. And regardless of how things turned out, i would go to the park on the same day where i met my fiance, and spit the very same lines to her.

 

[Don Quixote]

I would without a doubt. I'll turn 28 in nine days. I just watched my younger brother graduate high school and to think about 10 years ago I was walking down that stage grabbing my diploma from the same principle. It really doesn't seem that long ago. I would love to go back to 16 years old.

 

[B0ZZ]

I would definitely take this opportunity to have sex with highschool chicks by the droves, create Facebook, and die at 20 by overdose.

 

[Organic Damage]

I'd pass on it.

I saw the butterfly effect so immnotnanhuge g for this trick.

For real though, there are things if like to re do but if I changed any of them, I wouldn't be where I am today.

Going back in time to make more money dosent make sense to me, I have enough money now and besides I've met a lot of wet well off people who have many regrets in their life about the things they passed on in order to make that $$$.

I'd be willing to bet that for as many poor people who would go back to make money, there would be equally as many rich people who would go back and skip that meeting or not take That promotion so they could see their kids grow up, be with their parents as they were dying, take the beloved family dog for one last walk....stuff like that.

I actually know a guy, my moms old boss, he was living the life and it was his sons birthday (dude had 3 kids). The guy missed the birthday party to go accept a big promotion, at the party his youngest daughter who was like 2 at the time drowned in their swimming pool, she wa so. Life support with severe brain damage like a vegetable until she died at like 30 years old.

It destroyed the family and the guy suffers severe depression to this day, but he's rich. I bet he would take that time travel deal I. A heartbeat.

Yeah I think I'd pass too. The money's just money.

I shudder at the domino effect of unwittingly fucking up other people's lives just to selfishly get myself ahead.

 

[Misfit23]

I'd short the hell out of everything before the financial collapse. I wouldn't change much else.

 

[ironwolf]

I shudder at the domino effect of unwittingly fucking up other people's lives just to selfishly get myself ahead.

Yeah man. You get rich but your parents die, you get paralyzed, born gay, sister joins Isis....don't fuck with the past.

 

[bigbangspiritbomb]

The sheer number of people I could save would make this near impossible to pass up.

Granted, if movies & TV have taught me anything, it's that you can't just mess with the past and have everything work out fine.

However, I'd still have to try, that's just the kinda thing a well-meaning time traveler has to find out for himself.

The point 9n saving people + 1

I don't think you can fuck with time/time travel. Certain universal forces are in place for a reason. It's all one big mind fuck like that Stephen King book on altering the jfk assassination. It's one big fuck up from the simplest change.

Still, I would have to try and save people. Some people. Family. Friends. Some needed to go (curmudgeons)

 

[Dayman1984]

I wouldn't do it. Who knows what I could fuck up by altering the past?

 

[Jkaylor]

Wood

 

[Scott Parker 27]

Hell no. Life's already a pain in the ass, and sometimes feels too long.

 

[Desdinova]

Absolutely.

 

[usfbrah]

I'd go back to try to right the wrongs that I created while drunk. But I'll still be drinking. Lol

 

[ithinktheymad]

Vain me says go back and make Bush lose but there are bigger fish to fry. Go back and knock off all the bad ones. Tojo, Pol Pot, Hitler, Zedong, etc. May they rest in piss. Hopefully someone would be smart enough to fix the overpopulation that would ensue.

 

[Dizzy]

I'd love to give it another go knowing what I do now. I think most people would.

On a related note, I immediately dismiss anyone who says they have no regrets in life.

 

[bdthrill]

Of course I would. Back to the Future 2 anyone? I would get rich off sports bets/ stock market

 

[Y2Khaos]

In a heartbeat! There are so many things I regret, some are minor and stupid but some are major and life changing. It would be great to fix them.

If I said yes would I have to go right away or would I have some time to right my notebook?

 

[Mike]

I'd get with the girl that got away. Make a fortune betting on mma and what other sporting events I can remember. Steer clear of a lot of negative influences. Put myself in the right places at the right times to still meet my closest friends, and use my wealth and knowledge of the future to manipulate their lives for the better.

 

[LATEXXX COMMANDO]

No.

I'm in a better position right now than I was when I was 16.

Better person, healthier, financially, etc.
