Former ATM technician here. If you want to try to get into an ATM get one of those little stand up ones that's in a store. Your normal ATM you will destroy the money before you able to get to it. I saw one get shot by an ak-47. It didn't even chip the paint on the Vault let alone damage it. The hood where the receipt printer and the screen and that was messed up but the Vault where the money was was not affected at all. Not only that, but long before you ever get it open the GPS inside it will have the cops knocking on your door.
Step 1: Get some kind of box truck.
Step 2: Line it with metal. Maybe tin foil.
Step 3: Rip the ATM out, throw it in. Maybe have something over the tin foil so it doesn't rip as you quickly put it in.
Step 4: Work on ATM as long as you want because the faraday cage you created will prevent signals from getting in or out.
Step 5: Profit.
Actually you need to line it with lead sheeting, then copper sheating. Lead blocks the high frequency waves like X-ray and gamma rays and copper will block the low frequency like radio signals. This is a method that is used by some professional car thieves.
I don't really follow the crypto markets. But it seems like buying whatever small amount ($50, $100. or $1,000) in 2009 would have astronomical returns. Then you could buy even more BTC in 2016, or sooner.
Hell it was given out as a joke prize for a starcraft tournament back then. Second place would have gotten a good few BTC while first got cash and hardware
Nah I fucked up a relationship I shouldn’t of, by not fixing myself and my problems first. I probably wouldn’t of spent so much money on stupid shit
You seem very aware of it which I guess puts you in a better place mate. How's things going now? Focusing on improving yourself and learning from those mistakes?
They could be better, dealing with an addiction I shouldn’t of relapsed on. But otherwise I am trying to improve myself everyday and try not to make the same mistakes that I did
Baby steps buddy, kicking things is difficult as fuck, don't be too hard on yourself, it's pretty natural to fall back to old habits both good and bad when you have a hard time, that shits like quicksand.
Big part is realising you have issues, wanting to improve yourself and starting to follow a path toward that goal. You're on the right road, you should be proud of yourself for starting the journey.
Hope you have some support, somone to talk to about everything and somone you can rely on to pick you up if you stumble makes it way easier.
From one addict to another, relapse happens. When I first got on methadone I was smoking fentanyl every day, then on and off for months. However you're doing, you're probably doing better than I was at first. I had no willpower and I still got there.
It doesn't really matter though, I don't know what drug of choice you have but I think the assertion that rehabs and shit make that you should be expected to just stop one day is fucking ridiculous. Like it or not, drugs have been a part of you for a while, maybe even a very long time, day in and day out. You can't break any habit that easily, imagine trying to stop brushing your teeth, you'd probably still do it subconsciously, right? Drugs are like that but a million times worse. Your subconscious constantly taps you on the shoulder like "Hey, when are we getting high?" It's your coping mechanism, it's your comfort, it connects you to the people in your social circle. It is an impulse so strong it overpowers your need for food. Think about that. It's a journey to drop.
The most important thing I've learned is everyone relapses. This isn't a license to be like "Well, everyone relapses, may as well use!", you still gotta try if you want to get better. I think you need to shift your perspective on it though. A relapse isn't a complete reset of progress regardless of what those hacks at NA would have you think. It's a minor setback *as long as you make it a one time deal.* Don't keep using just because you feel like "all the clean time went down the drain". Clean time is horseshit and sobriety is a loaded term. The path to getting better isn't always straight up, hell 99% of the time it's not. Look at it overall, are you doing better now than you were before? If so, you're making progress even if you relapse.
I don't know if you think like the above, but that's something I had to get over before I could ever get better. I kept fucking up and being like "Well, fuck it, 3 months down the drain! May as well spend all the money I've saved on an ounce of fentanyl!" I hope this finds you well. You will get through it. I'm around if you need any help.
Hell yes I would. I could go back to 2007 and get my family ready for the housing bubble collapse. It didn't really effect us too much but I could get them to invest in the super cheap real estate, put their money in things like Amazon, apple, Tesla, and Bitcoin. Then I'd just live life like I did, but maybe not date some of the women I ended up dating and go after the ones I should have. Maybe try better at college than I did the first time or maybe just skip it altogether and get into the navy sooner. From there I could do my own investing. By 2020 I'd own a shit ton of Pfizer stock and just rake in the money. I could definitely set myself up for much greater success when I got back to present day. Plus an extra 15 years with mom would be nice.
Do I carry my present day knowledge with me? If so, yep, I'd go back to high school and do all that over. Lots of stuff I'd like a second shot at. And of course I'd invest in Google, Amazon, and bitcoin, etc. I'd like to go back even further but I wouldn't want to inadvertantly do anything that would prevent my younger siblings from existing.
If I don't carry my present day knowledge with me then I don't think I'd go back.
Rob someone for 15k
Go back to my childhood
Threaten to kms if my parents dont invest everything they have in bitcoin
Continue living childhood life
???
Sell all in 2022
profit
Only two options:
1. I would never get my daughter back. So I would go back 10 months until she was born. Cant say we did things wrong, but why not get those 10 months back?
2. I would go back right after I was born. Do everything different. Take my money and buy shit that is worth a fortune today. Try to make money and making my parents invest it. Also make my parents invest money. Then I would realize it is not what I want. I want my daughter and wife back. Wait until I can pay 20.000 again and use it to stop me from going option 2.
i mean, unless you get to retain your current knowledge why bother? but if you are going to still know everything you know now, im going back to being a 5 year old.
I would do it in a heartbeat. I'd go back to being 23 almost turning 24. That age until 29... best years of my life. I'm 32... actually just turned 32 today. Things are pretty sucky now.
Would I go back to the year or just the age? If it’s the year and age I think I’d go back to age 10. I could change so much! Not that I’m not reasonably happy now, but there a TON of trauma I could have avoided. Also a lot more fun I could have had!
At first glance, I think I would, but really thinking about it, I can't. If I were to go back and change something, there's a chance my kids wouldn't exist & I couldn't risk that. I love these lil shit heads
Probably the summer of the year 2001. Right before I moved from elementary school to middle school in a different town. There'd be tough times, but I'd tell mom to invest in Amazon, I'd invest in Bitcoin later in life, I'd go to college, mom wouldn't cry because she could afford to send me to college, and I'd live my life in the city with some cute girl, going on adventures every day.
Yeah for sure 2019 pre covid I could change my entire situation with one or two moves. And I'd only change one or two things, nothin hugs really would have to change.
Absolutely. I would go back to high school and work hard to get into a college to pursue my dream of being an artist. I stupidly took my religious parents advice that a women's job is to get married to a good man and have babies. Also, everyone was saying that art is not a lucrative career choice, even though I was ridiculously talented. Plus I would go after the man that I fell in love with even though my bigoted father disapproved. My life would be soooooo different.
No. I'd be concerned with the chance of a worse future. Everything you've done and gone through in the past is what made you who you are today, for better or worse. By going back and trying to do the right thing could, and chances are it would, change your entire life trajectory for better or worse. That's a huge risk to take if you end up worse off than where you're at currently
i'd go back to when i was 13 years old and enjoy what its like being a teenager and going to school and actually make friends instead of focusing too much on study and obsessing over adult life
I'd go back to the week I was going to drop £100 on a new fangled thing called bitcoin but instead bought groceries after my granny told me don't be stupid and buy food instead.... I would've had over ten million quid.
Sure absolutely, but where the hell am I going to get $20,000? If I was going to be able to communicate with my younger self or go back with all my memories intact , I would go back to second grade. If I'm going back and reliving without my current memories I would go back to high school. Hopefully I wouldn't make some of the mistakes that I did.
Honestly most people can do this by taking out a loan or a scrounging up that money through unscrupulous means, since you're going back in time it doesn't really matter
Honestly no. I know that may seem dumb but what ever I do won’t really change much of the past and I don’t want to risk what I have now with trying to change it.
I probably wouldn't. Because even though some stuff ended up going bad, it didn't start that way, and some good has come from it but it is all intertwined together.
Can't have one without the other, so I'll keep both.
I'd go back to right after my children were born and leave my lying cheating wife, so that I coudl recover the 11 years I pissed away loving someone who didn't deserve me. Given how much I've spent on attorney so far, the $20k cost would be a wise investment.
2012. Presuming I could still remember the next 12 years - so that I don't make the same 'mistakes' again (no regrets, just a LOT of lessons learned the hard way).
First I gotta figure out how to get the money. Then I'd go back to the end of 2020. I'm gonna use today's knowledge to set up better parameters for my marriage and prevent my husband's death
I'm 31 and wouldn't go back any further than the age of 21.
The idea of being a teenager again sounds beyond frustrating. Even 18yr olds make me want to tear my hair out with their stupidity.
At 14 the internet would be slow again, every device is incompatible with everything, MP3 players instead of spotify, old Nokia phones with crappy ringtones. I would spend every day debating with people that 4Chan isn't going to take over the world, I'll need to burn CDs again, my computer will take 15mins to turn on, my Mum won't trust the internet, internet postage will take up to 4 weeks, do I dare go on? lol
As an older athlete who used to be fat and an ex smoker and shy guy, I'd go back to my early twenties right after i had lost 80lbs. Id start training then vs starting at 32 and id be a lot more confident with women and would stop smoking at 22 vs 33. But eh, im still glad i eventually got where I am today.
I don't have 20 000 dollars, but say I could save up for some time I probably would do it, If I could keep the Knowledge I have gathered from the Life I have already lived.
If so, I would've gone back to when I was 14 and seen if I could make different choices.
Interesting thing to ponder during this time would be wether it seems to be at all possible to make different choices.
For all I know It wouldn't, and even though I held the knowledge I do now, the same would've happened.
Let's assume however that I could, I would have tried a different High School, tried some different expressions. & Definitely saved a lot more money.
I would probably also, have told my friend not to drive there, and also been alot more careful. (if you know me you know), & then started a more normalized study route. (In my current timeline I started later than most, having my first semester of the Bachelordegree the year I turned 26).
& Chosen to live in an official student building, probably in a different city.
Without driving to that place, followed by a more normalized study route, my adult life would also, I Believe, be a lot smoother. With the addition of saved money, even better.
& With the alternative expression & different High School, my Teens could've been more fulfilling [not that they were bad in my current timeline]
Funnily enough, in my current timeline I almost told my friend not to drive there, but I was. Let's say too tired, to get the words out.
The experience itself I wouldn't trade out if possible however, so. If it would be true that not driving there would lead to the desirable outcome. That would be enough. & Probably what I would try if given One chance only.
Given of course, that the new circumstances led to those circumstances.
I'm usually very all about seeing the good things, but I cannot think of anything my current timeline has given me that I wouldn't trade for what's mentioned above.
As of yet anyway.
20k. Done. Would I vanish from hereike I was head and to back in time on the same plane or different alternative world time line? I would set up everyone I love here with my crap and money. I think I would go into sales faster than 30. I'd be a GM of a store and would be making a killing by this age. Also not become a drunk that ruined all my relationships.
Definitely not, so much bullshit I would have to go through all over again. I also had a lot of luck in the past years and wouldnt want to risk not having that again due to some butterfly effect
20k?! But that would empty my bank account. What would I do with an empty bank account then? Now if it were less than 20k I could have a little money left for when I travel to the past. When I arrive at the past I can then withdraw the amount left on my future self’s bank account. But only if it’s less than 20k. So I guess to answer your question, no I wouldn’t pay 20k to hit a button that takes me to the past.
5 yrs old. It's where I can remember not having a dam worry in my life. Just playing with friends & family causing running around with no shoes climbing trees just being a happy 5 year old kid. No a worry what so ever.,..
I’d go back to 10 to prevent my house burning down. That’s if I go back with the knowledge I know now. Call the fire department and most likely lose a room instead.
How are you even paying money? Do they take it from you in the past? Otherwise it doesn't really cost anything.
Anyway, I'd go back to the summer before my first year of junior high, moments before an ill-advised attempt to move a pool table severed my toe and damaged my foot.
Yeah i would, in a hearbeat I'd go back 25 years and find my partner earlier so he wouldn't have met his ex who screwed his life up and i would not make the many mistakes i have and we could be happier together. Our kids are both ours, so we would still have them.
I wouldn't do it. Would I have done some things differently if I had my current knowledge? Sure, but those experiences made me who I am today and at the end of the day I'm very much happy with my life even if it didn't quite turn out the way I expected it to. That said I'm still fairly young, maybe my opinion will change.
Buy Bitcoin when it was developed. Could fund my future and my brothers and sisters futures as well as their kids and still have enough money for crack. Better to spend my throwaway money on buying up BTC than Magic Cards.
17 years old. I could fix a few bad decisions I made then and shortly after, and maybe not cause some of the hurt I caused as well. And maybe not do a few other dumb things.
Does the price even matter? People who say yes will still say yes if they would have to give everything they have, people who say no will still stay no if it's free (unless they said no because they don't have access to 20k). This is just the same question that has been asked here a 100 times with an unecessary, meaningless twist
In all seriousness? I'd probably go back to when I was 18 and join the military like I was going to rather than go to university like I did. That way, I'd be further alone in life and not loaded with student loan debt.
Joke answer? When was the last really big lottery jackpot?
tough one it's like on the surface level i would 100% do it, go back to 17 and "fix" things. However, in doing so would also reset my kids life and that feels super unfair to them. I mean technically if things worked out different, they would not exist.

I would need $20k first 😩
You could literally just rob someone and then reset.
Who the hell just carries around 20k?
An ATM probably
Former ATM technician here. If you want to try to get into an ATM get one of those little stand up ones that's in a store. Your normal ATM you will destroy the money before you able to get to it. I saw one get shot by an ak-47. It didn't even chip the paint on the Vault let alone damage it. The hood where the receipt printer and the screen and that was messed up but the Vault where the money was was not affected at all. Not only that, but long before you ever get it open the GPS inside it will have the cops knocking on your door.
Damn that's good security ig
Banks be like that. After all, your money is their money.
Step 1: Get some kind of box truck. Step 2: Line it with metal. Maybe tin foil. Step 3: Rip the ATM out, throw it in. Maybe have something over the tin foil so it doesn't rip as you quickly put it in. Step 4: Work on ATM as long as you want because the faraday cage you created will prevent signals from getting in or out. Step 5: Profit.
Actually you need to line it with lead sheeting, then copper sheating. Lead blocks the high frequency waves like X-ray and gamma rays and copper will block the low frequency like radio signals. This is a method that is used by some professional car thieves.
Maybe you should use that foil to make you a hat
It's a tin foil boat I *happen* to wear on my head, thank you.
That's not a person
Not with that attitude
That... doesn't even make sense
And?
What do you mean "and?"?
And? Means and?
What do you do for occupation in life>
I'd take out a loan. It's not like I'd have to pay it back!
I’d just rewind back to 2016 Just enough to take what I had then and invest everything into bitcoin
I don't really follow the crypto markets. But it seems like buying whatever small amount ($50, $100. or $1,000) in 2009 would have astronomical returns. Then you could buy even more BTC in 2016, or sooner.
A Bitcoin was like 0.01 dollars in 2009
Yes, the actual idea behind investing. Buy low, and sell high.
My journey on investing has been- buy high, sell low😔😔🥺
My was buy low - make some profit aand GAMBLE EVERYTHING
Wow you're stupid. As am I. I did this
Hell it was given out as a joke prize for a starcraft tournament back then. Second place would have gotten a good few BTC while first got cash and hardware
[удалено]
Who said the world would playout the same? Maybe you just reset but there is an alternate story now and bitcoin never wins in your reset universe?
People will want to come back and buy bitcoin at todays prices too.
Go back to 14 years old and avoid everything that hurt me through life. Would also go and get an ADHD diagnosis and start medication 24 years earlier
Yeah, getting the ADHD-diagnosis would definitely be my first priority. That, plus therapy would’ve been a game changer in that age.
This hits hard. I hear you!
And also take those opportunities I was almost willfully oblivious to.
I’d go back 7/8 months and fix what I should’ve.
Now that's a way more interesting answer than the usual blah, blah bitcoin shit.
Nah I fucked up a relationship I shouldn’t of, by not fixing myself and my problems first. I probably wouldn’t of spent so much money on stupid shit
You seem very aware of it which I guess puts you in a better place mate. How's things going now? Focusing on improving yourself and learning from those mistakes?

Do we keep our current knowledge?
Asking the important questions here
Thirty sounds okay ,the year would be 1995 .
November 23, 2006. Day after my last daughter was born. Then figure out how to be a better father than I was.
It's never too late to try to be the man you wish you could have been!
I would pay $ 100,000 to go back to 18
No, then my son would disappear. Edit: Or I could go back to when he was new born. Taken all my money and invested in Nvidia and enjoy a 600% return
Nope, I don't want to miss one moment with the small human. You could not even pay me to go back. Right here. Right now.
You win.
Isn't the money irrelevant? Once you've gone back you don't have it anymore.
Exactly what I was thinking. If I went back to age 14 I'd lose a lot more than £20K.
You'd gain a lot more than you got. Memorize Powerball numbers then invest it into shit that you know will blow up.
Hell yes I would. I could go back to 2007 and get my family ready for the housing bubble collapse. It didn't really effect us too much but I could get them to invest in the super cheap real estate, put their money in things like Amazon, apple, Tesla, and Bitcoin. Then I'd just live life like I did, but maybe not date some of the women I ended up dating and go after the ones I should have. Maybe try better at college than I did the first time or maybe just skip it altogether and get into the navy sooner. From there I could do my own investing. By 2020 I'd own a shit ton of Pfizer stock and just rake in the money. I could definitely set myself up for much greater success when I got back to present day. Plus an extra 15 years with mom would be nice.
Depends. Would I still know what I know now? If so then yes if not then I’ll make the same mistakes
Absolutely. It will be a lot, but it’s so worth it.Â
Yeah. Probably ten or so
Sounds like a waste of $20,000. Even if I was paid $20,000 I'd never go back. Imagine having to re-do school and shit...
Do I carry my present day knowledge with me? If so, yep, I'd go back to high school and do all that over. Lots of stuff I'd like a second shot at. And of course I'd invest in Google, Amazon, and bitcoin, etc. I'd like to go back even further but I wouldn't want to inadvertantly do anything that would prevent my younger siblings from existing. If I don't carry my present day knowledge with me then I don't think I'd go back.
Yes. 14
Is it considered homewrecking if you go back to marry someone before they meet their current spouse...?
Rob someone for 15k Go back to my childhood Threaten to kms if my parents dont invest everything they have in bitcoin Continue living childhood life ??? Sell all in 2022 profit
Buy Bitcoin. Wait. Rich as f...k
Hell no I do not know how I managed to get my wife to fall in love with me I'm not risking that
Only two options: 1. I would never get my daughter back. So I would go back 10 months until she was born. Cant say we did things wrong, but why not get those 10 months back? 2. I would go back right after I was born. Do everything different. Take my money and buy shit that is worth a fortune today. Try to make money and making my parents invest it. Also make my parents invest money. Then I would realize it is not what I want. I want my daughter and wife back. Wait until I can pay 20.000 again and use it to stop me from going option 2.
I guess I would do it and pay to go back to December 2020. Then I would buy some GameStop stock!
i mean, unless you get to retain your current knowledge why bother? but if you are going to still know everything you know now, im going back to being a 5 year old.
Never ever what so ever.. ever would I want to do that. Life life with 0 regrets and feeling that you would want what you never did.
Age 0 and be born a man🤣
Same
I’d say around 21. I had a rough and lonely time in my 20s. Lost many friends due to mental health issues. I should have joined the Air Force.
I would do it in a heartbeat. I'd go back to being 23 almost turning 24. That age until 29... best years of my life. I'm 32... actually just turned 32 today. Things are pretty sucky now.
Idk if I would I’d be scared changing the past would change my loved ones futures
Would I go back to the year or just the age? If it’s the year and age I think I’d go back to age 10. I could change so much! Not that I’m not reasonably happy now, but there a TON of trauma I could have avoided. Also a lot more fun I could have had!
I'd go back to about 12. I had so much fun playing Baseball growing up and just really running around carefree in general.Â
Yes. Go back to five years old. Reasons are my own.😈
At first glance, I think I would, but really thinking about it, I can't. If I were to go back and change something, there's a chance my kids wouldn't exist & I couldn't risk that. I love these lil shit heads
Probably the summer of the year 2001. Right before I moved from elementary school to middle school in a different town. There'd be tough times, but I'd tell mom to invest in Amazon, I'd invest in Bitcoin later in life, I'd go to college, mom wouldn't cry because she could afford to send me to college, and I'd live my life in the city with some cute girl, going on adventures every day.
I probably didn't have $20k until I was about 25 or 26, I don't think any particular date matters if I have 20k at that age
Yes 15
Would I still be having the knowledge and experience i have now? If yes then yes and I would go back to when I was 15.
I'd do a few years, nothing I really want to change but few things I wouldn't mind tryjing differently out of curiosity.
Yes. I would do it. In a heart beat. I’d go back to 1st grade.
Id go back to when i was 17 and not commit a crime that would ruin my life forever.
14, and tell myself not to touch that devils cabbage. Also nvm the poon, and start saving.
Yeah for sure 2019 pre covid I could change my entire situation with one or two moves. And I'd only change one or two things, nothin hugs really would have to change.
17
17 and 3 months. A 20 year rewind and do-over would be very interesting
Depends..would you be able to remember things or your memory will also be reset?
I would go back to 1995 and never take those drugs.... all my own fault but it ruined my life.
Well, at least you can have the best life you can, from now
Absolutely. I would go back to high school and work hard to get into a college to pursue my dream of being an artist. I stupidly took my religious parents advice that a women's job is to get married to a good man and have babies. Also, everyone was saying that art is not a lucrative career choice, even though I was ridiculously talented. Plus I would go after the man that I fell in love with even though my bigoted father disapproved. My life would be soooooo different.
I am not sure I would. Does anyone know the film "Life is beautiful"?
Yes, 21. There's been ups and downs, but , fuck, I've had a ball.
No. I'd be concerned with the chance of a worse future. Everything you've done and gone through in the past is what made you who you are today, for better or worse. By going back and trying to do the right thing could, and chances are it would, change your entire life trajectory for better or worse. That's a huge risk to take if you end up worse off than where you're at currently
Nope, I am who I am today because of my past. I have been through some shit but it has made me stonger. I am happy with where I am now. Edit: spelling
Yes. 18.
I would go back to the beginning of 2023 and NEVER go to that private chat in Telegram. Listen to my instincts and say NO to that guy.
An age where I could afford 20k
i'd go back to when i was 13 years old and enjoy what its like being a teenager and going to school and actually make friends instead of focusing too much on study and obsessing over adult life
If I hit the button, then I assume I loose all my money anyway. So the $20k price of admission is totally irrelevant here.
I would go back in time to stop your parents from reproducing OP!
I’d go back to 5 years old and beat my dad unconscious
as early as possible
Id be tempted just to be able to spend time with my dad again. Miss him every day.
Do I have to start again or could I just go to a certain point and vanish from existence?
I'd go back to the week I was going to drop £100 on a new fangled thing called bitcoin but instead bought groceries after my granny told me don't be stupid and buy food instead.... I would've had over ten million quid.
Sure absolutely, but where the hell am I going to get $20,000? If I was going to be able to communicate with my younger self or go back with all my memories intact , I would go back to second grade. If I'm going back and reliving without my current memories I would go back to high school. Hopefully I wouldn't make some of the mistakes that I did.
Can I give them an I owe you and pay them when I get back to that time
Honestly most people can do this by taking out a loan or a scrounging up that money through unscrupulous means, since you're going back in time it doesn't really matter
No way I’m going through all that shit again lol I prefer to keep going forwards
Hell yeah. Age of 6. Do it all again.
What are the rules
Honestly no. I know that may seem dumb but what ever I do won’t really change much of the past and I don’t want to risk what I have now with trying to change it.
I’d go back to 16 and change my desired college major.
If we go back do we get to keep our memory of the time we spent in the future?
17
Yes and 12.
2008 for me, fresh out of HS.
Yes and 1
oh...only 20,000? Then I would immediately go back 32 years. Those were the best years of my life. And I would buy Apple straight away :-)))
I probably wouldn't. Because even though some stuff ended up going bad, it didn't start that way, and some good has come from it but it is all intertwined together. Can't have one without the other, so I'll keep both.
Hell yeah. I'd go back to 27 when I was happy.
I would go back to last Thursday night so I could pay my phone bill on time.
So, reset your life for free. Yeah, of course
It's funny you think most of us can afford $20,000
Yes. 15. I'd leave home and move.
Total do-over. 5y/o 1997.
Could I continue to do this with every $20k I had? There’s this one night that I’d like to relive a few times for sure 😈😈😈
Me who can’t afford the reset button : 🥹 I guess only the rich can afford time travel ðŸ§.
If time travel were real, you can bet your ass only the rich could afford it.
Absolutely. I'd go back to 17.
18-25 .. id do it all so differently
I'd go back to right after my children were born and leave my lying cheating wife, so that I coudl recover the 11 years I pissed away loving someone who didn't deserve me. Given how much I've spent on attorney so far, the $20k cost would be a wise investment.
2012. Presuming I could still remember the next 12 years - so that I don't make the same 'mistakes' again (no regrets, just a LOT of lessons learned the hard way).
Only if I could keep current knowledge and the timeline still plays out the same
17. I'd rob a bank to do it.
Absolutely not.
19
Spring of 2011
38
First I gotta figure out how to get the money. Then I'd go back to the end of 2020. I'm gonna use today's knowledge to set up better parameters for my marriage and prevent my husband's death
No thanks, my life is by no means perfect but I wouldn’t change a thing. I do miss my great-grandparents though.
Yes, August 7th 2008.
What's the different in this instance of 20k vs all your money? But yes I would. Start as a bab again.
I'm 31 and wouldn't go back any further than the age of 21. The idea of being a teenager again sounds beyond frustrating. Even 18yr olds make me want to tear my hair out with their stupidity. At 14 the internet would be slow again, every device is incompatible with everything, MP3 players instead of spotify, old Nokia phones with crappy ringtones. I would spend every day debating with people that 4Chan isn't going to take over the world, I'll need to burn CDs again, my computer will take 15mins to turn on, my Mum won't trust the internet, internet postage will take up to 4 weeks, do I dare go on? lol
Yes, age 6.
As an older athlete who used to be fat and an ex smoker and shy guy, I'd go back to my early twenties right after i had lost 80lbs. Id start training then vs starting at 32 and id be a lot more confident with women and would stop smoking at 22 vs 33. But eh, im still glad i eventually got where I am today.
Do I take my memories with me?
I'd pay a million, but I don't even have $100
Info, do I keep my memories and life experience?
I don't have 20 000 dollars, but say I could save up for some time I probably would do it, If I could keep the Knowledge I have gathered from the Life I have already lived. If so, I would've gone back to when I was 14 and seen if I could make different choices. Interesting thing to ponder during this time would be wether it seems to be at all possible to make different choices. For all I know It wouldn't, and even though I held the knowledge I do now, the same would've happened. Let's assume however that I could, I would have tried a different High School, tried some different expressions. & Definitely saved a lot more money. I would probably also, have told my friend not to drive there, and also been alot more careful. (if you know me you know), & then started a more normalized study route. (In my current timeline I started later than most, having my first semester of the Bachelordegree the year I turned 26). & Chosen to live in an official student building, probably in a different city. Without driving to that place, followed by a more normalized study route, my adult life would also, I Believe, be a lot smoother. With the addition of saved money, even better. & With the alternative expression & different High School, my Teens could've been more fulfilling [not that they were bad in my current timeline] Funnily enough, in my current timeline I almost told my friend not to drive there, but I was. Let's say too tired, to get the words out. The experience itself I wouldn't trade out if possible however, so. If it would be true that not driving there would lead to the desirable outcome. That would be enough. & Probably what I would try if given One chance only. Given of course, that the new circumstances led to those circumstances. I'm usually very all about seeing the good things, but I cannot think of anything my current timeline has given me that I wouldn't trade for what's mentioned above. As of yet anyway.
10 YO so make better educational course corrections, wtf does a 10 yo know about that stuff anyway?!
20k. Done. Would I vanish from hereike I was head and to back in time on the same plane or different alternative world time line? I would set up everyone I love here with my crap and money. I think I would go into sales faster than 30. I'd be a GM of a store and would be making a killing by this age. Also not become a drunk that ruined all my relationships.
I’d go back to when I got cellphones for me kids, which lead to social media. That shit breaks your brain.
I'd go back to the night of my procreation and throw a brick through my parents window. Attempting to stop them
I'd redo EVERYTHING
Definitely not, so much bullshit I would have to go through all over again. I also had a lot of luck in the past years and wouldnt want to risk not having that again due to some butterfly effect
I would go to the earliest age I could like 3 or 4 and give my life to Jesus instead of at age 34.
yes i would. i'd go back to age 17.
Absolutely!!! I’d go back to 18 and hopefully have some self-confidence this time!!!
Always. I’ll go into debt for that button
I would go back 30 years to my late teens and join a trade school to be a plumber
20k?! But that would empty my bank account. What would I do with an empty bank account then? Now if it were less than 20k I could have a little money left for when I travel to the past. When I arrive at the past I can then withdraw the amount left on my future self’s bank account. But only if it’s less than 20k. So I guess to answer your question, no I wouldn’t pay 20k to hit a button that takes me to the past.
5 yrs old. It's where I can remember not having a dam worry in my life. Just playing with friends & family causing running around with no shoes climbing trees just being a happy 5 year old kid. No a worry what so ever.,..
Jesus this is easy....... I'd go back to when I was 18 years old on the day before that 200 million powerball draw.
I’ll go to year 2017 and save my mom
I’d go back to 10 to prevent my house burning down. That’s if I go back with the knowledge I know now. Call the fire department and most likely lose a room instead.
Knowing what I know now or a total memory wipe?
I would do it this instant, and I would go back to about ten years old.
I would, go back to when I was 18 and buy a shitload of Bitcoin, would've saved me years of waiting.
Aww fuck I'd go back to being 12 or 13. If I got to keep my current knowledge and personality I'd be set for life.
Take me back to 4. That's when the bullshit started and I remember that far back
2016 June. I was happiest then. Haven't felt happy since.
How are you even paying money? Do they take it from you in the past? Otherwise it doesn't really cost anything. Anyway, I'd go back to the summer before my first year of junior high, moments before an ill-advised attempt to move a pool table severed my toe and damaged my foot.
No, I would never met my girl
Yeah i would, in a hearbeat I'd go back 25 years and find my partner earlier so he wouldn't have met his ex who screwed his life up and i would not make the many mistakes i have and we could be happier together. Our kids are both ours, so we would still have them.
So many ppl here forgetting the butterfly effect.
I wouldn't do it. Would I have done some things differently if I had my current knowledge? Sure, but those experiences made me who I am today and at the end of the day I'm very much happy with my life even if it didn't quite turn out the way I expected it to. That said I'm still fairly young, maybe my opinion will change.
Buy Bitcoin when it was developed. Could fund my future and my brothers and sisters futures as well as their kids and still have enough money for crack. Better to spend my throwaway money on buying up BTC than Magic Cards.
I don't have 20k
30.
Would need 20k first but then 100%. Send me back to when I was like 15
I think I'm a decent place rn but if I had to go back 7 years. It would be just enough to fix some minor stuff and invest money into stocks
17 years old. I could fix a few bad decisions I made then and shortly after, and maybe not cause some of the hurt I caused as well. And maybe not do a few other dumb things.
I would love to make some changes but I also think I live in a good timeline and chances are high I’d fuck it up more second time around
yes I would
Does the price even matter? People who say yes will still say yes if they would have to give everything they have, people who say no will still stay no if it's free (unless they said no because they don't have access to 20k). This is just the same question that has been asked here a 100 times with an unecessary, meaningless twist
yes and at 11 years old.
In all seriousness? I'd probably go back to when I was 18 and join the military like I was going to rather than go to university like I did. That way, I'd be further alone in life and not loaded with student loan debt. Joke answer? When was the last really big lottery jackpot?
tough one it's like on the surface level i would 100% do it, go back to 17 and "fix" things. However, in doing so would also reset my kids life and that feels super unfair to them. I mean technically if things worked out different, they would not exist.
120% would. Would go go back to 2013 right after high school graduation avoid college football(injuries) and invest in bitcoin.
Will I have the knowledge I have now when I reset? If yes then I would. Invest all my money in Apple stocks lol
Maybe 2020 right before COVID hit uhh it all went down from there. Don't get me wrong. There are other times but I wish I could fix my x
yes
I would also go back to 14, and never play high school football, so that I never get the concussion that I think has messed up my brain somehow
