Blue pill all day. I'd never give up my daughter and we could spend the rest of our lives vacationing.

Rules:
- Be civil and nice.
- Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.
Red pill. Would save so much more in childhood trauma and that's priceless.
Let's go relive that childhood trauma! It sure would be interesting trying to raise my parents into functional adults at that age. I wonder if they'd give me an exorcism?
Nah, I don't have to wonder.
I'd have to wait 10 years to buy Apple at $0.07 per share, but I think I could collect enough money to make that into more than $10 million.
Red, easily.
Yeah, some childhood stuff would suck but you could probably skip a good few grades. As you already (hopefully) know how to socialize by now, a lot of the childhood friend stuff seems pretty optional.
Dating would be really tricky through the early teenage years as I don't know how I'd feel about girls my own physical age at that point.
Because I'm relatively older and would have insane future knowledge, I could absolutely rock in stocks and have enough money to actually effect change. (Eg, singelhandedly fund a massive Democrat turnout machine in the rustbelt for 2016.)
The hard part would be somehow connecting with my current group of friends whom I love to death and wouldn't want to lose. They are the only thing that makes the blue pill tempting.
Is there a "$5 million and an 'AGE - 25%' " option ?
I'd be happy to go back to being 37yo with $5m and still dying at or around (or earlier) than my current unknown death day!!
If I'm going out, its with a lot of bang[ing]!
These "would you rather" memes are mind poison when both sides are impossible fantasies
Here's my take, if went back to when I was 6, I probably wouldn't have the same friends I have now, like genuinely amazing friends. I'd rather not live though middle school and highschool again.
So I'll take the 10 million dollar blue pill.
Gimme the money, I'm counting down the years I dont want any extra xD
Red, and then just get bitcoins early on and invest in tesla, by the time i'm back at 2024 I would have way more then 10M
Red pill. My dumbass thinks I could "fix" the people that fucked up my childhood with the knowledge I have now
Neither. Trick question.
I’d choose the secret third option:
The cyanide pill.
Can I restart my life at 6 with $10 million in Google stocks?
Blue pill, it said you revert to a certain age, but not a certain time, meaning any information you've kept could be useless in an unfamiliar environment.
Also, it never states that time and reality will play out the same exact way, making said knowledge even more useless.
It also does not say about a location in space. So it might be Venus.
This post is really revealing which people are happy with how their lives turned out and which ones aren't.
I guess you have to take time. It's invaluable. Plus you have great investment opportunities.
I think, if you went back in time and started, for example, trying to get rich playing the stock market, you would be surprised by how much things change with your interference. Like, Bitcoin still goes up, but peaks at a different price. The same team wins the super bowl but by a different score. The longer things go on the weirder it would get.
Blue. I wouldn't change much about my life rn, but an extra 10mil would be awesome.
I'd like to go back with my memories, but might run into some sort of time cop situation. It's a tough call.
Blue pill. I'm young enough (37) that I'd lose far more than I'd gain if I chose Red. The knowledge I currently possess can change the world with 10 million.
With six it would give me the opportunity to move to my dad and spare me 6 more years of torture and violence. I'd take that even over 100 billion.
Red pill if it means I go back in time to when I was 6yrs old. Blue pill if not.
Edit: having to live through puberty again would be painful, but there's a fair amount of stuff I could, and likely would, do a lot differently.
Back when I was 6, in 1983, my uncle who worked in the oil industry told me about global warming.
I could totally have been a real radical environmentalist, but I was 6.
A second time around that talk would have an impact, and with some foresight for the next 40 years. I think no one would be surprised if I devoted everything to fixing global warming - they might be surprised at my success in the stock market.
which is one digests better in my ass?
Red, that would give me 30+ years of life. I would also try to get older healthier.
6 years of age would put me in 1978.
There is a lot I could do from that point onward, that would make $10M look like spare change. Like investing in Apple, or working with Tim Berners-Lee to more effectively launch an Internet that could better resist corporatization and enshittification.
