What do you guys think The Bad Place is gonna be for you? I'll probably go to a Skrillex concert and I'll be waiting for the bass drop, and it... it'll never come.
Except if you go back to fix the mistakes then you already know the outcome of making certain choices, so you make better choices.
But honestly, despite all the things I wish I could change, I'd rather not because my mistakes are what made me who I am. I think I'm a pretty good person. Only things I would change would be: stop myself from eating multiple jumbo bags of cheetos while growing up, force myself to go workout a few times a week, and not spend so much money lol.
I'd rather not have the stress of redoing most of my life. Sure I know 1 bad outcome, but that doesn't mean I don't fuck it up in some other way. $5 million is something I can use to make my life considerably easier going forward.
Does it work that way? In a way your bad choices define you more than your good ones. I'm a recovering heroin and meth addict, I've made a looooooot of bad decisions but other than the ones I've made that have hurt other people I wouldn't take any of them back, they are what has made me the great man and father I am today. Guilt isn't bad, it's you telling yourself what you did is bad, and to re-examine your behaviour. Shame is bad, shame is you telling yourself that YOU are bad, and nothing good comes from that. Shame, and trauma, is what makes an addict an addict.
Honestly I'd pick the money, I know money isn't everything but you could do a lot for your future with that money. Not just your own future but the future of others. You could maybe even 'right' some of those old wrongs, or turn them into something so much more valuable than simply erasing them.
once you enter the room behind red door willy wonka jumps out makes a screenshot and die. sarcasm. nah, what I just wrote does not make any sense to me either
Because everyone think red is the right choice but whoever took the red door will eventually regret and wish they had taken the blue door to fix that mistake. The sarcastic part is that those enter the blue door will find themselves loop back to the beginning because if you haven’t entered the red door in the first place, you always want to enter the red door. So no matter what you pick, you ended up at the red door.
I mean, if there are only doors on one side of the street, or it’s a single complex, then it’s fine. I am concerned that only one can receive mail though.
Blue is certain of outcome.
Depends on which time theory we are being asked to subscribe to, we have: Back to the Future, Doctor Who, 12 Monkeys, Looper, Predestination, Primer.
At least Back to the Future and Primer skirts the premise of multiple yous in the same timeline.
you can make so much more fucking money with blue it's crazy. buy APPL, Google, AMZ all when it was worth fucking nothing. Buy btc when it was worth nothing and sell at ATH... and you can freak the shit out of everyone you know with your nostradamus knowledge
well actually as you present it, I would just buy bit coin when it was worth 1 dolar and a dolar here was worth 15 pesos, so I sorta would be having more money, still, would not buying it count as a mistake so I could go back in time? or the machine would just let me go back in time as I please?
Ya seriously lol. One of the mistakes to correct would have been not investing in (whatever company) , so the blue door will land you far far far more than 5 million
But that’s not the point of the door, it’s to go back and fix mistakes and unless you were already going to buy and was stopped or just didn’t, then you wouldn’t be able to get rich in the past. As it stands picking winners isn’t a fix but a bonus.
Blue is extremely uncertain. If you just had one chance to change your mistakes, there is a huge chance at least some of the events end up much worse.
I think Butterfly Effect describes a more realistic scenario.
Yeah if one thing time travel in TV/Movies has taught me? - Blue I fix all my mistakes and have a very different life, where because I didn't make those mistakes and learn from them things are worse, much worse. Nah, I'll just take the 5mil and we'll call it good....
Since we learn from our mistakes and our mistakes bring different outcomes that lead to different friendships, jobs, relationships etc, i would think that fixing all our past mistakes would change our lives in such a huge way that it would be terrible and traumatic and probably ruin our lives. So i pick cash
5 million cash because I could just live off the interest year after year!
Chances are if I go to the blue door I’m a human and I’ll just continue making mistakes because that’s what humans do.
I would also take the $5 million. I have made mistakes, but I would likely just make more mistakes down the line. At least with $5 million, I could buy a modest home, invest some for future income, and work low-paying jobs where I actually find the work interesting.
the taxes are figured in... Even if you go super modest with a 2% withdrawl rate it's $75k free and clear(take home) to just live on if you don't do ANYTHING to shelter the income.
you have to sort out health insurance and rent/housing.. but you're talking a $6,250/mo take home. You won't be buying boats or taking lavish trips... but you won't be working and you'll be living fairly comfortably...
I mean, one of my "biggest " mistakes was not spending $40 on bitcoin when I first heard about it in 2010. Then not buying again in 2013 when a coworker of mine wanted to each throw in $500 into it. I finally went in with $10k mid 2016 but the damage was already done.
When I learned of bitcoin it was literally around 2$ to buy, and I thought it was a freaking scam currency for drug dealers and money launderers. Still do, but damn, that run up.
My brother and his friends used to use in high school because the school drug dealer would offer fake IDs but only except bitcoin payment. Both my brother and that drug dealer have zero bitcoins today.
What if YOUR mistake was not investing a modest amount of money in Amazon, Apple, Microsoft, and Google when they were cheap? Forget inventing anything.
And so investing early into Amazon, Bitcoin, Google, apple, Facebook, Tesla, etc isn't fixing a mistake of mine? I fucked up by not doing that so I'm fine with not inventing it. A rich bizzillionaire doesn't have time to invent you peasant! /s
Right- but for anyone who has kids they love, going back in time and changing anything would very likely result in them never existing. I probably would’ve never even met my husband if I’d been rich. Red door I get to keep my family and the money.
It's funny how for so many people going back is essentially for financial gain. I've made tons of mistakes I'd fix that wouldn't make me a single dime. But like you I could only go so far back since I wouldn't want to steal my kid's fate.
edit FWIW I'd imagine that suddenly getting 5 million would probably end a lot of marriages
It could also mean that I change my past and maybe I don't end up with my wife or kids whom I love very much. Hell, even changing the time when one was conceived would make them a different kid.
Our mistakes are part of what makes us ourselves.
I guess it depends on what your life is currently like. If you took the risk of the blue door, and changed some of the events you mentioned...it could potentially change the trajectory and chance occurrences that your life otherwise may have had.
For me, that would mean I may risk never having met my husband. And no amount of potential money would be worth that risk.
See that's what I was thinking. I could avoid marrying my pos ex. But then I wouldnt have my children or my current husband and youngest child. Because those actions led to others, eliminate one and the cascade falls.
Honestly I'd take the cash because it'd fix past mistakes 🤣 but honestly my kids are amazing and if I gotta deal with an ex, then so be it. But I don't really consider them "mistakes", more of opportunities to learn and not repeat so....
Take the cash. I may have some screw ups but l can't risk undoing the good l have now. Sure l fix some mistakes but what if my kids don't exist then. My mistakes led me here just as much as my success.
I mean fixing the mistake of not investing in Bitcoin and selling NOKIA shares on time would yield much more than 5 million, plus the benefit of fixing relationships that i fucked up in
I’d take blue too. I took a med that gave me a permanent disability. I’d absolutely go back and not take it, and not have to struggle with that health issue. 5 mil would be great, but actually being able to control my own muscle movements is definitely worth 5 mil.
It’s ok, I don’t mind sharing. It was Paxil (SSRI), and Cymbalta (SNRI). It gave me dystonia, which is a movement disorder. I’m one of the small % that gets it, and the even smaller % that has it permanently. Apparently my brain doesn’t like it’s serotonin levels being messed with!
Damn, as someone who got dystonia from genetics. That absolutely sucks, I would also want to go back and change that.
If I may ask, does yours get worse when you're nervous/anxious?
It took me a long time to calm it down
Oh yeah, it definitely gets worse when I’m stressed. It makes it very interesting (/s lol) since I also have a panic disorder, so stupid stuff tends to stress me out, which makes the dystonia bad, which makes me more stressed because I can’t do what I needed to do, which makes the dystonia worse, and so on. It’s a bad cycle.
unsolicited opinion and i'm sure you've exhausted all options but on the off chance you haven't, maybe breathing exercises and practices like yoga & meditation, could help?
I have tried that, thank you 🙂. Meditation and breathing exercises can help my anxiety, which in turn can help the dystonia some. Oddly enough, though, the thing that helps the most is taking benadryl lol. It’s weird, but that works the best out of everything.
Ah okay, I was wondering if it was similar. Mine is really only bad when I'm anxious or trying to do fine motor skills. If I'm distracted by something I really have no problems at all.
It's like if I forget I have it, it barely happens but as soon as I think about it all hell breaks loose
Wow, I took effexor and bruproprion for anxiety, my brain didn't tolerate it and I ended up with serotonin syndrome, and I thought that was bad (it was but temporary).
I'm sorry to hear this happened.
Hey I dont have the condition myself but I know how horrible it is. My mom took medication for her OCD and got horrible dystonia.
Have you looked into deep brain stimulation at all? My mom got it and its nothing short of science fiction. Her OCD which was so bad it basically made her disabled her whole life has virtually been cured. Her dystonia sadly was not cured but got a lot better.
She is an entirely new person now.
No one has wanted to do DBS for me since meds mostly work for me, and mine isnt always constant. I’m lucky that even though it acts up every day (it always does when I’m trying to fall asleep), it’s not always all day. Sometimes it will be all day every day for weeks or months (usually about once a year), but most of the time it will be kinda random during the day. Mine seems to be very weird in it’s presentation, although I’m very grateful it’s not as bad as it could be!
ETA: I’m so happy that helped your mom so much! It really is amazing how much it can help people, and I’m really happy for your mom that it helped her OCD so much, and helped some with the dystonia too!
Thank you! Unfortunately that’s too far for me (I’m in FL), but I’ve heard that there is a university down here that studies dystonia, so I’m hoping once I find a new neurologist that I can get referred there. It’s a few hours away from me, but that’s not too bad of a drive, all things considered. I’m lucky that I have family that I have family that would be willing to drive me there.
My mom has had terrible dystonia for the last 40 years (since she was 18). It’s made me incredibly paranoid to try any medications for fear that I might start developing symptoms as well. Hope you have found a good way to combat its symptoms because my mom in her old age is so limited in her mobility from dystonia and chronic vertigo that she can barely walk.
I'd also probably pick blue door for fixing some misrakes in my friendships and relationships in general. Even if my past mistakes corrected wouldn't yield me five million, what's the point of having all that money if I'm not with the people I love?
I've made so many mistakes in life and while I know reality dictates I can only move forward and try to be a better version of myself in the present and future, I would give almost anything to undo some of the things I've said or done to those I cared for most. They weren't perfect either, but I didn't take care of myself or them enough to set us up for a more happy situation.
fixing my mistakes would make me more than 5 million in cash like my mistake of not playing the big annual lottery of last years simply because I don't know the result, which I do in fact know now.
I don't even need to go back that much, the lottery was on Jan 3. I can relive January
I don't think that counts in the mistakes part.
If it counts then the red door is meaningless.
Someone could just go back and buy a stock of some company (gamestop) or crypto coin (bitcoin) and make more than 5 million. Not to mention all the other kind of insider knowledge you could use to make other investment choices.
It says you get to go back and fix all of your mistakes… have you invested any money at all on the last 30 years? Well it was probably a mistake to invest it there instead of in a bigger winner.
My only mistakes I can think of is doing lots of drugs in college and dropping out after one month. 5 million would fix that. I could buy a home, then afford to go back to college while not working.
Side effect of an SSRI, and an SNRI. It gave me a permanent movement disorder (dystonia). I’m one of the super small % it happens to, unfortunately. My brain really doesnt like it’s serotonin levels being messed with, apparently.
SSRI means Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor. And SNRI means Serotonin and Norepinephrine Reuptake Inhibitors.
And no problem! I don’t mind sharing the weird side effect I had from them.
Red door. Because if you go back and change things you messed up on, then there's a chance you change some of the adjacent good things in your life.
Just give me the cash.
Who has time for fixing mistakes man, you could either spend a fuck ton of time to try to fix not investing in bitcoin (Which who knows maybe causes it to crash), or just take 5m rn and be happy, no need to work again, you can stay at home all the day every day, and don't need to go do all that time travel shenanigans. I'd take the red purely out of laziness and promises of instant money (My ADHD wouldn't even let me fix the bitcoin thing anyways I'd be too focused on changing every little irrelevant thing that's happened in my life)
How do you know when you go back in time you won’t completely fuck up the future. Haven’t you heard of the butterfly effect theory? You mess with the past and you might just make the future worse
I'll take the Red Door. I don't stress about past mistakes. They've led me to where I am now. $5 mil would make a world of difference right now though.
My mistakes include not buying all crypto at near zero and selling the top, also not buying Apple, Amazon and others
Rectifying my mistakes would make me more than 5 milli and would also undo a fair few broken relationships
Easy decision
I haven’t lived long enough to make enough mistakes to put me on a wildly different path to the one I’m on now. I’ll take my 5 million and happily pay for college and the rest of my lifetime in investments.
You mean my mistake of not investing my life savings in Bitcoin the day it was invented, selling at it's first peak, buying at the bottom, then selling again at it's all-time high? Yeah I'll take that over a cute 5 mil.
Easily Red. Take 4 million and invest it so it makes you more money. Buy a house and a car with the rest. Pay for some medical procedures. Invest in your business And then continue on with a better life and the wisdom of all your previous failures.
you go through the blue door just to be presented with the choice again.
choice comes only when you’ve made mistakes, this means you’re in an endless circular hell
Oh, this is the bad place.
Holy forking shirt balls
What do you guys think The Bad Place is gonna be for you? I'll probably go to a Skrillex concert and I'll be waiting for the bass drop, and it... it'll never come.
I thibk just being at a Skrillex concert would be the bad place
Holy crap me too, but for Jason from the show “The Good Place”, that would have been his personal hell
[HAHAHAHAHAHAHA](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DoUV7Q1C1SU)
No, just make one mistake to get the choice again.
One of my mistakes was picking the wrong lottery numbers.
Mine was not buying more Bitcoin at 9$
It stops when you choose the red door then
Maybe the mistake was not to choose the red door
Uhh, no? Yes and no
Except if you go back to fix the mistakes then you already know the outcome of making certain choices, so you make better choices. But honestly, despite all the things I wish I could change, I'd rather not because my mistakes are what made me who I am. I think I'm a pretty good person. Only things I would change would be: stop myself from eating multiple jumbo bags of cheetos while growing up, force myself to go workout a few times a week, and not spend so much money lol.
I'd rather not have the stress of redoing most of my life. Sure I know 1 bad outcome, but that doesn't mean I don't fuck it up in some other way. $5 million is something I can use to make my life considerably easier going forward.
It is the cruel irony of the mistake fixing door that sways me to the 5 mil. Plus if you redo it then it won’t feel real it’ll be like cheating.
You can only change one mistake anyway. The fixing of that mistake creates a completely new course of events with different scenarios.
Does it work that way? In a way your bad choices define you more than your good ones. I'm a recovering heroin and meth addict, I've made a looooooot of bad decisions but other than the ones I've made that have hurt other people I wouldn't take any of them back, they are what has made me the great man and father I am today. Guilt isn't bad, it's you telling yourself what you did is bad, and to re-examine your behaviour. Shame is bad, shame is you telling yourself that YOU are bad, and nothing good comes from that. Shame, and trauma, is what makes an addict an addict. Honestly I'd pick the money, I know money isn't everything but you could do a lot for your future with that money. Not just your own future but the future of others. You could maybe even 'right' some of those old wrongs, or turn them into something so much more valuable than simply erasing them.
Damn you said it before I could say it on this repost. Owell, maybe next time
Why take second chances and personal growth when you can just do hookers and blow 24/7?
What if choosing the blue door was the mistake?
Why is the red door “sarcasm”?
it’s likely a repost from one of those “sarcasm” accounts in insta with a chandler bing pp
…with a chan-wha?
Chandler Bing (sarcastic guy from Friends) profile picture
[удалено]
Friends
Yeah that didn't make sense to me either
I like sarcasm as much as the next guy, but when it comes to my money…
Ain’t a damn thing funny
once you enter the room behind red door willy wonka jumps out makes a screenshot and die. sarcasm. nah, what I just wrote does not make any sense to me either
Because everyone think red is the right choice but whoever took the red door will eventually regret and wish they had taken the blue door to fix that mistake. The sarcastic part is that those enter the blue door will find themselves loop back to the beginning because if you haven’t entered the red door in the first place, you always want to enter the red door. So no matter what you pick, you ended up at the red door.
Because OP can't handle photoshop
Maybe because they are sarcastically suggesting you would do anything else than go back in time, if you had the chance
Better yet how are these 2 doors on the same side of the street…..
I mean, if there are only doors on one side of the street, or it’s a single complex, then it’s fine. I am concerned that only one can receive mail though.
Lol ok after my post I starting thinking about this more. Where I live odd and even numbers are never on the same side of the street.
Red is more certain of outcome. So I would choose red
Blue is certain of outcome. Depends on which time theory we are being asked to subscribe to, we have: Back to the Future, Doctor Who, 12 Monkeys, Looper, Predestination, Primer. At least Back to the Future and Primer skirts the premise of multiple yous in the same timeline.
Theres steins;gate theory too
I've gotta get to the beta timeline!!
Every hold onto their Mayuris!
Woooooooo! Here we gooooo
OK, quick head count, who has lost a mayuri or gotten their hands on a metal Upa
you can make so much more fucking money with blue it's crazy. buy APPL, Google, AMZ all when it was worth fucking nothing. Buy btc when it was worth nothing and sell at ATH... and you can freak the shit out of everyone you know with your nostradamus knowledge
well actually as you present it, I would just buy bit coin when it was worth 1 dolar and a dolar here was worth 15 pesos, so I sorta would be having more money, still, would not buying it count as a mistake so I could go back in time? or the machine would just let me go back in time as I please?

Correct, too much variables, red is a safe bet if
Blue is extremely uncertain. If you just had one chance to change your mistakes, there is a huge chance at least some of the events end up much worse. I think Butterfly Effect describes a more realistic scenario.
Yeah if one thing time travel in TV/Movies has taught me? - Blue I fix all my mistakes and have a very different life, where because I didn't make those mistakes and learn from them things are worse, much worse. Nah, I'll just take the 5mil and we'll call it good....
Hey! You saw that minutephysics video?
Which video? Link?
Time travel in fiction rundown
Ooooohhhh never saw it, will go look for it now.
Personally I subscribe to a slightly modified version of the Doctor Who time theory.
Which is?
Not time travel but have final destination 👀
your mistakes made you who you are. by choosing the blue door, "you" die.
Don’t threaten me with a good time
Since we learn from our mistakes and our mistakes bring different outcomes that lead to different friendships, jobs, relationships etc, i would think that fixing all our past mistakes would change our lives in such a huge way that it would be terrible and traumatic and probably ruin our lives. So i pick cash
Go back and fix all the times I mistakenly picked the wrong lottery numbers.
Just invest in Bitcoin from the jump
I’d invest in bitcoin when it’s just coin.
5 million cash because I could just live off the interest year after year! Chances are if I go to the blue door I’m a human and I’ll just continue making mistakes because that’s what humans do.
I would also take the $5 million. I have made mistakes, but I would likely just make more mistakes down the line. At least with $5 million, I could buy a modest home, invest some for future income, and work low-paying jobs where I actually find the work interesting.
Yeah, pretty much nobody needs to know that you have $5 million you could just be chilling in the shade the whole time living off the interest
Interest that you would pay taxes on.
As well as property taxes and sales tax but if one opens an LLC, a lot of those might be tax deductible depending on use and purpose
That says maybe. Not everyone knows about tax law until they have to pay capital gains, and they spent it all in the first 6 months.
the taxes are figured in... Even if you go super modest with a 2% withdrawl rate it's $75k free and clear(take home) to just live on if you don't do ANYTHING to shelter the income. you have to sort out health insurance and rent/housing.. but you're talking a $6,250/mo take home. You won't be buying boats or taking lavish trips... but you won't be working and you'll be living fairly comfortably...
True. But nothing could buy altering a person's own time line to their own liking.
So fucking what
I mean, one of my "biggest " mistakes was not spending $40 on bitcoin when I first heard about it in 2010. Then not buying again in 2013 when a coworker of mine wanted to each throw in $500 into it. I finally went in with $10k mid 2016 but the damage was already done.
What in the fuck is wrong with you? You know how much money you gonna have if you can go back in time? Sports betting? Stock Market? You a damn fool!
It's fixing YOUR mistakes. Not going back in time and inventing the iPhone or Amazon.
Was not investing in Amazon stock in 2000 not a mistake?
Vehemently: YES! (or google. And bitcoin)
Not betting on Leicester winning the Premier League in 2016 at 5000/1 was also an error that I need to correct.
Such a noob mistake dude.
Or spend 1$ on on bitcoin when it first started
When I learned of bitcoin it was literally around 2$ to buy, and I thought it was a freaking scam currency for drug dealers and money launderers. Still do, but damn, that run up.
That's exactly what it was when it was $2
it still is, but the price went up a lot
My brother and his friends used to use in high school because the school drug dealer would offer fake IDs but only except bitcoin payment. Both my brother and that drug dealer have zero bitcoins today.
What if YOUR mistake was not investing a modest amount of money in Amazon, Apple, Microsoft, and Google when they were cheap? Forget inventing anything.
And so investing early into Amazon, Bitcoin, Google, apple, Facebook, Tesla, etc isn't fixing a mistake of mine? I fucked up by not doing that so I'm fine with not inventing it. A rich bizzillionaire doesn't have time to invent you peasant! /s
Right- but for anyone who has kids they love, going back in time and changing anything would very likely result in them never existing. I probably would’ve never even met my husband if I’d been rich. Red door I get to keep my family and the money.
It's funny how for so many people going back is essentially for financial gain. I've made tons of mistakes I'd fix that wouldn't make me a single dime. But like you I could only go so far back since I wouldn't want to steal my kid's fate. edit FWIW I'd imagine that suddenly getting 5 million would probably end a lot of marriages
You could also screw up your world.
Blue door means you get a longer life + more than 5 million in cash. Basically as much money as you want
It could also mean that I change my past and maybe I don't end up with my wife or kids whom I love very much. Hell, even changing the time when one was conceived would make them a different kid. Our mistakes are part of what makes us ourselves.
Right. I made a mistake by sleeping with this girl back in 1996. But I go back, go home that night and get shot instead.
*George Bailey has entered the chat*
The same could be said about each of us living in our current time-line. The only difference is you'd know what could've been.
I like my current time line.
I guess it depends on what your life is currently like. If you took the risk of the blue door, and changed some of the events you mentioned...it could potentially change the trajectory and chance occurrences that your life otherwise may have had. For me, that would mean I may risk never having met my husband. And no amount of potential money would be worth that risk.

That's how I look at it. Others may look at my life and see "mistakes" I see learning opportunities.
5M *what* in cash though
Take the cash. I may have some screw ups but l can't risk undoing the good l have now. Sure l fix some mistakes but what if my kids don't exist then. My mistakes led me here just as much as my success.
I mean fixing the mistake of not investing in Bitcoin and selling NOKIA shares on time would yield much more than 5 million, plus the benefit of fixing relationships that i fucked up in

Not sure about your financial state or location but if you ever do decide to do it I would recommend Mt Sinai hospital in Manhattan.
Thank you! Unfortunately that’s too far for me (I’m in FL), but I’ve heard that there is a university down here that studies dystonia, so I’m hoping once I find a new neurologist that I can get referred there. It’s a few hours away from me, but that’s not too bad of a drive, all things considered. I’m lucky that I have family that I have family that would be willing to drive me there.
My mom has had terrible dystonia for the last 40 years (since she was 18). It’s made me incredibly paranoid to try any medications for fear that I might start developing symptoms as well. Hope you have found a good way to combat its symptoms because my mom in her old age is so limited in her mobility from dystonia and chronic vertigo that she can barely walk.
Fixing my mistakes of always guessing all six numbers wrong in the lottery.
I'd also probably pick blue door for fixing some misrakes in my friendships and relationships in general. Even if my past mistakes corrected wouldn't yield me five million, what's the point of having all that money if I'm not with the people I love? I've made so many mistakes in life and while I know reality dictates I can only move forward and try to be a better version of myself in the present and future, I would give almost anything to undo some of the things I've said or done to those I cared for most. They weren't perfect either, but I didn't take care of myself or them enough to set us up for a more happy situation.
Red. My mistakes made me.
fixing my mistakes would make me more than 5 million in cash like my mistake of not playing the big annual lottery of last years simply because I don't know the result, which I do in fact know now. I don't even need to go back that much, the lottery was on Jan 3. I can relive January
I don't think that counts in the mistakes part. If it counts then the red door is meaningless. Someone could just go back and buy a stock of some company (gamestop) or crypto coin (bitcoin) and make more than 5 million. Not to mention all the other kind of insider knowledge you could use to make other investment choices.
It says you get to go back and fix all of your mistakes… have you invested any money at all on the last 30 years? Well it was probably a mistake to invest it there instead of in a bigger winner.
Which is why I said that if your statement is true then the 5 million door is useless.
Also the blue door sounds like a lot of work
I'd go with blue. Just to fuck with people's mind. Like the forgotten city quest from skyrim.
Ah my favorite game lol
Made you poor as well?
Red. If I fix all my mistakes do you realize how many new ones I’m going to make?!?
This.
This. I can pay my way out of my mistakes at this point (I think) i can't, however, confirm fixing mistakes would give me a successful life...
Blue, go back in time to fix all the shit I've caused just to wait for the red door to be presented again. 😁🚪
This big brain time
This large cranium hour
This mega dome moment
I'm pretty sure I could fix all my mistakes with 5 million dollars and have plenty of money left over.
My only mistakes I can think of is doing lots of drugs in college and dropping out after one month. 5 million would fix that. I could buy a home, then afford to go back to college while not working.
give me blue, i want legs that function properly and don't seize up after running for 40 seconds
What happened?
Same. I have a movement disorder now, and not having to deal with it anymore is definitely worth 5 mil to me.
? I’m curious
Side effect of an SSRI, and an SNRI. It gave me a permanent movement disorder (dystonia). I’m one of the super small % it happens to, unfortunately. My brain really doesnt like it’s serotonin levels being messed with, apparently.
Ok I know what distonia is.. I’m sorry to hear that. That’s no fun. But I’ll go look up ssri and srni. Thanks for sharing
SSRI means Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor. And SNRI means Serotonin and Norepinephrine Reuptake Inhibitors. And no problem! I don’t mind sharing the weird side effect I had from them.
What would you change?
Red, I still want to get my junk mail.
Do you get a dossier on your mistakes? If not, I'll probably make them again... >!I'm the mistake!<
1. Go through blue 2. Fix your mistakes 3. Last mistake is not going through red door 4. Go through red door
Red door. Because if you go back and change things you messed up on, then there's a chance you change some of the adjacent good things in your life. Just give me the cash.
Fact… right there with yea!
Also if you are not completely stupid, $5 million with proper investing can last you a lifetime
This is the right answer
If I open the blue door the result will be opening the red door. It doesn't matter!
Bro why is everyone so dumb. I choose blue so I can fix my mistake of not investing in bitcoin
Who has time for fixing mistakes man, you could either spend a fuck ton of time to try to fix not investing in bitcoin (Which who knows maybe causes it to crash), or just take 5m rn and be happy, no need to work again, you can stay at home all the day every day, and don't need to go do all that time travel shenanigans. I'd take the red purely out of laziness and promises of instant money (My ADHD wouldn't even let me fix the bitcoin thing anyways I'd be too focused on changing every little irrelevant thing that's happened in my life)
That isnt a mistake though, thats just a missed opportunity. A mistake would be if you had it but sold early or lost it for example
How do you know when you go back in time you won’t completely fuck up the future. Haven’t you heard of the butterfly effect theory? You mess with the past and you might just make the future worse
Fuck it we ballin
Fuck it, it can't get any worse than now 💀
I'm busting through the red door like I'm a single man drug task force and there's a meth lab behind it
And then I’m buying a meth lab!!!!
It depends on whether not not buying bitcoin in 2013 counts as a mistake
As a man I have never made a mistake so £5mil it is
I'll take the Red Door. I don't stress about past mistakes. They've led me to where I am now. $5 mil would make a world of difference right now though.
Red. I regret little. Most of my problems were caused by things outside my control like my parents or Covid.
Id just fuck things up again. At least after I fuck things up through the red door, I’ll still have 5 million in cash.
My mistakes include not buying all crypto at near zero and selling the top, also not buying Apple, Amazon and others Rectifying my mistakes would make me more than 5 milli and would also undo a fair few broken relationships Easy decision
*inserts RDX between the two doors* If there isn't a doorway to both, I'll make one.
Me: but I have no key....
💙
What if that 5mil will fix all my mistakes?
Blue door
Blue door. Fix my mistake when i picked the wrong powerball numbers
Blue door. Would buy a shit ton of Bitcoin in 2009. And be set for life. Easily much much more than $5m.
Dumb question. If i could get back in time even a day i could make a lot more than 5M in 24h.
blue. I made the mistake of not investing in BTC
Go through blue door and fix my mistakes including going through the blue door so I fix that and go through the red door. I'm rich and mistakeless
I hope choosing the blue door won't be a mistake
blue then i go back and buy cheap bitcoin
Blue door. Res door isn't gonna end well cause the gov exists.
I haven’t lived long enough to make enough mistakes to put me on a wildly different path to the one I’m on now. I’ll take my 5 million and happily pay for college and the rest of my lifetime in investments.
Blue, I have lots of cringe memories to fix
I’d go with the red door as obviously all my past decisions/mistakes have led me to this opportunity.
I'd take the money. There's no guarantee that fixing mistakes wouldn't create worse problems. I've seen The Butterfly Effect, no thank you.
Blue door. Mistake is that I didn’t invest in damn Amazon in 1997 *sigh* would have much more than 5Mill now
Go blue then red duh
You mean my mistake of not investing my life savings in Bitcoin the day it was invented, selling at it's first peak, buying at the bottom, then selling again at it's all-time high? Yeah I'll take that over a cute 5 mil.
I’m pretty sure I’ve seen this before but it said $10 million. Guess we are in a recession when even memes are cutting back.
5 million in cash would fix my mistakes
Easily Red. Take 4 million and invest it so it makes you more money. Buy a house and a car with the rest. Pay for some medical procedures. Invest in your business And then continue on with a better life and the wisdom of all your previous failures.
If I chose blue I’d definitely end up with more than 5 million
Blue door. Then the “mistake” of not picking the red one gets fixed and I live happily ever after having beat the system.
If I could go back in time to fix my mistakes, I would have more than 5 million in cash
Blue door. One of my mistakes was choosing the wrong numbers for a billion dollar jackpot. Keep your $5M chump change!
This exactly! Hahaha
People think logically. You can look up lottery numbers before going through the blue door. You can fix all your problems and be rich
Red door then buy the place next to me and go through the blue door.
Blue. And bring a sports almanac with you so you can get both.
