You have the option to redo your life from any point but with full memory* and no trauma effects from it. What age do you choose?

0-3 years old

3-7 years old

8-13 years old

13-18 years old

18-21 years old

21-25 years old

25+ years old

I wouldn’t, set me free

Remaining time: 3 days 4 hours

*As of the moment you first read this poll. Unless you already have specific winning lottery numbers memorized you aren’t going back with that knowledge. You can remember the majority of the information from your prior life, but it won’t cause traumatic/PTSD effects - it’ll feel like you’re remembering someone else’s story in great detail. Unless you do something to change it specifically, all world events will remain the same including major economic events, wars/famine/pandemics, etc.

Anything can be changed if you can figure out a way to start the change yourself, however.

go back 16 years, buy Bitcoin before the first boom, transition early, dodge a lot of abuse from my family by either Playing more defensively or GTFOing, dodge the money pit I got put in by a well-meaning idiot, dodge my first engagement, sell btc in q4 2018 and set myself up to actually give aid rather than having to be a recipient of it. actually get all my vaccines at the correct time. actually get help for my depression before the age of 20. actually get physical therapy so my body doesn't rebel on me at 24. so much to do better and then all I have to do is go to the right Starbucks in 2023 to get my fiancee back.

Since people keep asking, I’m a 0-3 voter and would shoot for 2.5 because of two reasons.

1. I started reading/speaking/walking fairly early (at 2) so I wouldn’t be forced to pretend about any of that.

2. My mom is decently conspiracy-prone (though also smart/logical enough I can usually talk her out of them early) so I’m pretty sure I could use information she’s told me about her life to convince her that I’m actually a time traveling adult stuck in the body of my kid self. I was a non-religious unschooled homeschooler so I already had a lot of freedom as I grew up. I even asked her what she might do lol.

So I think I’d try to pretend to the rest of the world I was just a very talented child while working together with my mom to do as much to my benefit with future knowledge as possible.

As for why I’d do it, personally? I don’t think I could fully save the world or anything with the things I know now alone, but I could dramatically change my life and that of a lot of people around me/I grew up with, *maybe* that of more.

1.

I wouldn’t be disabled except for my adhd anymore, and my adhd got significantly worse after my back injury (yes it’s linked, complicated) so even that would be less disabling. This would mean that not only would I be able to retrain my body as a dancer once more (for those who didn’t know, I used to be a professional dancer) but with significantly more dedication and enough knowledge to seem like a prodigy taking to it like a fish to water.

I’d also be able to start seeking apprenticeships outside of montana sooner and know how to go about it properly, so instead of just being professional inside of my home state, I might be able to become part of a larger dance company and make a better name for myself.

2.

I’d be able to avoid or combat so much of the racism and white supremacy I dealt with as a child but didn’t have the words or knowledge to fight yet. I could help protect the few other kids of color I knew growing up and just. Make a lot of shit better. I’d also be able to avoid a lot of people that hid their racism or abuse - I would never have been enslaved, I would have avoided so much community abuse, I wouldn’t have suffered if I knew who to keep at a distance and who to keep close.

3.

I could’ve transitioned younger and gotten access to meds earlier. This one is kinda obvious lol. My enslaver forcibly delayed my transition for three years but if I know from a young age I’d have so much more leeway. I’d also have avoided a three year stint doing youth group at a southern baptist church that fucked up my shit and I had to unpack until I was 18.

4.

Lotta my longest friends (like @skelejor) are just weird enough that if I came to them and told them the situation they’d likely just roll with it from the jump. I have minimal concern about re-finding the people I love or who serve a specific role in my life and reclaiming them.

5.

Set up a Google digest for a bunch of terms like Bitcoin to get in at the rock bottom of things I know will become successful the moment they get publicly mentioned. I could also stop a lot of shit that massively affected my life growing up, such as a company illegally draining the bank accounts of my entire family (including that of like 3 year old me who was trying to save up for my first computer :c ) that sent us from being middle class to “juggling what bills we can pay this month” poor. My mom was very good with money and was able to give the outward illusion things were still fine after that, but they weren’t lol

6.

Bc of the whole “unschooled homeschooled” and the “coming back with all my knowledge” thing I could use the “young brain plasticity” thing to actually learn languages, learn more complex topics young, etc. I had a voracious desire for knowledge when I was a kid but didn’t direct it well.

7.

I fully believe that I could get some 4ch chud or three to [REDACTED] people like M*sk and Mold Queen who actively funded and caused significant negative world shit if I made a persona “predicting” real life events consistently and used that to feed them conspiracy theories and future knowledge.

There’s probably more shit I’m not thinking of right now but this is my general plan if this happens lmfao

#i'm going with the start of high school #like yeah those years sucked #but that is the key point at which I could make impactful decisions regarding my future #spending less time doing church stuff #and more time actually learning stuff and prepping for life afterwards #also gives me the opportunity to like #make meaningful financial investments #and GTFO of the south

my mum has severe knee problems and needs a replacement. Today she was told she's too fat to be operated on and the knee specialist suggested she gets a gastric band - which also involves surgery. So my mum was like first of all you didn't read my file because it explains that I'm not fat because I eat too much second of all you said it's impossible for me to get surgery and then suggested I get a surgery about it? He then asked her her weight and height, didn't believe her answer, and made her prove it to him because she "looks fatter than that". So she was like so you also just entirely based this on looks instead of actual numbers?

My mom went through something similar. She needed a knee replacement and her doctor wouldn’t okay it until she lost weight, which was difficult given the whole knee problem preventing her from walking thing. He told her she was too dangerous to operate on and that there were just too many risks.

My mom tried to lose weight in vain for months before she finally gave into my begging her to get a second opinion. The first doctor she saw next scheduled her for surgery the same day she met him. When my mom asked about the risk of operating on her he told her that there was some minor risks for complication and that all she would need to do to alleviate the risk was spend an extra night in the hospital so that they could keep a look out for any complications.

There were zero. There were also zero complications when she had her other knee done, her hip replaced and her gallbladder removed.

Almost like the first doctor was entirely full of shit and just trying to coerce his patient to lose weight by scaring her for fucking nothing, even when she was living day to day in excruciating pain and desperately needed a surgery.
