Sharkictus,

Six is a bit early. If I could go back to between age 18 and December 2015

I could make money and have a way better career trajectory and love life.

Otherwise back spring/summer 2007.

6 is pointless. Knowledge and wisdom in a body and brain not equipped for it? Hardcore depression.

So yeah 10 mill.

Iron_Lynx,

Are the pills binary? Because I wouldn’t want to rewind to far before either shacking up with, or maybe meeting, my girl. And all the fun things I would wish upon every iteration of myself that I’m doing now are things I’d started with in adulthood.
I’d only really be interested in taking about a third of a red pill, since that’d probably take me back to after I started most of these fun things.

If I’d be required to take whole pills, I’d take the blue one.

CADmonkey,

I couldn’t imagine the stress of knowing what I know now and being sent back to when I was six years old. I’d be trapped with my parents.

I’d take the money. My wife is amazing, and we are very happy together, but a lot of things had to fall just right for us to end up together.

JATtho,

I ate both. Nothing really happened to me, but the matrix has been glitching though…

Churbleyimyam,

Blue pill: I would die of boredom if I had to go back to school for more than a couple of days.

Blue pill. I’d miss my wife and kids, and even if I were transported back in time, I doubt I’d do all the required steps to get to them again.

EmergMemeHologram,

Blue pill.

That’s a lot I could do with red pill, I would easily be able to become a millionaire, but I am pretty happy in my current life and that would be enough to satisfy all my dreams.

normalexit,

I’d like to go back with my memories, but might run into some sort of time cop situation. It’s a tough call.

Dpowell,

Am I transported back to 1993 with all the knowledge I have now? Or am I 6 in 2023? Because the first case it becomes ridiculously easy to make 10 million… Just memorize a single set of lottery numbers for a specific time and date… and have a little knowledge to invest in apple as soon as Steve Jobs returns to the company and Tesla when it’s founded, and at that point you are a billionaire.

AngryCommieKender,

Google > Tesla in that scenario

Google and Apple would be your best growth potential for investments.

4lan,

Also dump money into Bitcoin when it cost less than a dollar

Misconduct,

Someone gifted me a couple coins years and years ago and I’ll always regret laughing at that and losing it lol

Yeah, going back in time is too op. Let’s say you become your 6 year old body with the same memories and mental capacity as you are now. What about now?

Dpowell,

Mmm… It depends, if I live in an upper middle or mid middle class or above household I’ll choose going back. I could convince my parents to invest $1000 a month in my future and have 10 million by the time I am the same age I am now. Whilst also knowing what I know about the world, women, life, love and relationships from 6 to 37

pyrflie,

I grew up in abject poverty. Going back to 6 just means another 20+ years of struggle and hardship.

10 mill means safety for me and mine for a minimum of 100 years.

Why would I take the option that includes watching friends die of lack of money all over again rather than the one that results in stability for me and mine.

Anyone who says go back to 6 comes from family money.

FellowArmadello,

That’s not a money issue. There are people from poor places that had good childhoods, such as farming families. Not saying there wasn’t struggle tho.

hOrni,

Blue. Knowing what I know would make me a fucked up 6 year old. I wouldn’t be able to make friends, I would creep people out or even end up in a mental institution. 10 million wold fix all my current problems. And there wold be a lot left for hookers and coke.

Roccobot,

Exactly

dingus,

Well I’m not able to make friends or relationships now so that but wouldn’t make a difference lol

Simulation6,

Red pill says restart at 6, not go back in time to when you where 6. I assume you will be 6 in the current time and have no future knowledge to convert into cash.

jdeath,

I’m not sure if people here realize this, but the interest from $10m is approximately four to eight hundred thousand dollars per year.

So, with ten million, one could instantly retire and never ever have to work again.

That’s priceless freedom to me, and it wouldn’t require deleting almost all of my friends, relationships, experiences, and who I am.

Uiop,

well, clearly you have a good investment plan…

jdeath,

just an index fund is all you need.

MystikIncarnate,

Red pill.

I had a few pretty rough years in there… I wasn’t suffering or anything like that, I was just… Going in the wrong direction. Took me a while to get back on track.

ToAllPointsWest,

Red pill, and I’ll have more than 10 million by the time I’m an adult
