A person comes up to you and says, "I can reverse time for just $1 per day." Do you take their offer? How far back do you go? (lemmy.world)

i.e. pay $5 to go back 5 days.

The time travel is permanent and one-way.

Edit: this is a one time offer and your budget is however much liquid cash you have right now. Cards are accepted, though.

For non-Americans, feel free to convert $1 USD to your currency

2 days. I'll memorize the Powerball winning numbers to win something like $500M, since I know there were no other winners.

And then spend the $500M to go back 500.000.000 days

That's how they get you.

That's pretty smart. Even jumping to the one before the billion dollar win isn't that far back, and even if time changes the chance of splitting the winnings is low.

Surely they'll butterfly effect into different numbers after you buy the ticket?
