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: 21 hours 51 minutes

*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 don’t get why people keep saying Superman was a political movie, the only things really political about it were

Superman intervening in a conflict in the Middle East in order to save civilian lives

A twelve-minute long sequence where Lois and Clark debate the political and moral implications of Superman intervening in said conflict,

during which they note that the invading nation of Boravia is a close US ally despite their president’s shady track record,

and that the invaded nation of Jarhanpur having a controversial government does not justify the mass slaughter of their civilian population (who also seem to be primarily Muslim)

Lex Luthor is a billionaire misogynist with eugenicist overtones who invests heavily into propaganda and misinformation to make himself look good and turn public opinion against his enemies

Luthor is also privately allied with the Boravian government and is providing them weaponry in exchange for half of Jarhanpur’s land to develop in his own image

Luthor is operating a black site for-profit prison where he incarcerates political prisoners, whistleblowers and any ex-girlfriends that try to leave him

Luthor thoughtlessly murders an innocent Palestinian-American man just to taunt Superman, much to the cackling delight of Boravia’s pasty white president

Speaking of the Boravian president, when that guy orders a second invasion of the (mostly-unarmed) Jarhanpur, he publicly claims it’s to “liberate” the people of Jarhanpur while simultaneously commanding his army to genocide the entire population of the country

and as an added kicker, the Boravian president at one point claims during a press conference that Superman is only saving people to build a “harem” of exploited women, before leaving to privately surround himself with fawning young women, and later visiting Luthor’s private prison that’s full of kidnapped and abused women

The US government makes a big show of brutalizing Superman during his arrest before very publicly perp-walking him away (despite Superman actually turning himself over to federal custody, and also Superman apparently only being handcuffed with standard-issue cuffs due to the Earth’s explicit lack of kryptonite)

When Superman points out that nobody read him his Miranda rights, Rick Flagg says “you’re an alien, you don’t have rights” before shipping him off to the aforementioned black-site prison

but other than that, I don’t think it has anything to do with politics at all

Story time:

In middle school biology, we did an experiment. We were given yams, which we would sprout in cups of water. We then had to make hypotheses about how the yams would grow, based on descriptions of yam plants in our books, and make notes of our observations as they grew.

Here’s what was supposed to happen: we were supposed to see that the actual growth of the plant did not resemble our hypotheses. We were then supposed to figure out that these were, in fact, sweet potatoes.

What actually happened was that every single student in every single class lied in their notes so that their observations perfectly matched their hypotheses. See, everyone assumed the mismatch meant they had done something wrong in the process of growing the plant or that they had misunderstood the dichotomous key or the plant identification terminology. And, thanks to the wonders of a public school education, everyone assumed the wrong results would get us a failing grade. We were trying to pass. We didn’t want to get bitched out by the teacher. Curiosity, learning, science - that had nothing to do with why we were sitting in that classroom. So we all lied.

The teacher was furious. She tried to fail every student, but the administration stepped in and told her she wasn’t allowed to because a 100% fail rate is recognized as a failure of the teacher, not the class. It wasn’t even her fault, really, though her being a notorious hard-ass didn’t help. It was a failure of the entire educational system.

So whenever I see crap like Elizabeth Holmes’s blood test scam or pharmaceutical trials which are unable to be replicated or industry-funded research that reaches wildly unscientific conclusions, I just remember those fucking sweet potatoes. I remember that curiosity dies when people are just trying to give their superiors the “right” answers, so they can get the grade, get the job, get the paycheck. It’s not about truth when it’s about paying rent. There’s no scientific integrity if you can’t control for human desperation.

you will probably not look like a skinny white anime girl when you transition you will likely look like someone's mom and you need to realize how swag this is

[punkitt-is-here]

I saw a picture of my mom last week and did a double take because we both realized how similar we look. skinny white anime girls are not real women but your mom is. I promise you look like a real woman

Babies Are Bleeding to Death as Parents Reject a Vitamin Shot Given at Birth

A lifesaving injection given at birth to prevent severe bleeding has become collateral damage of the anti-vaccine movement.

talk to your coworkers about this. remember that the "taking advice from everyone except the experts" thing cuts both ways. you can be the non-expert guy at work who isnt an expert and gives someone advice they decide to follow based on vibes, but your advice can be the right advice instead. this is something we can all do.

the vitamin k shot has zero side effects, it is literally just a vitamin that does nothing except prevent babies from bleeding to death internally. its one of those things that does absolutely nothing except what it's supposed to do, is cheap, and has drastically reduced infant mortality this century and the last

"Toph did not have a 'life changing field trip with Zuko' episode because, being absent from season 1, she did not have significant Zuko-related trauma to unpack" - reasonable, sensible, passible explanation.

"Toph did not have a 'life changing field trip with Zuko' episode because doing so would have meant sacrificing Ember Island Players, thus denying the Avatar crew the opportunity to have the stupidest pre-series-finale recap episode ever" - stronger, smarter, worthy of throwing hands over

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

Toph didn’t have a life-changing field trip with Zuko episode because the fallout would’ve taken a fourth season to clean up.
