A person comes up to you and says, "I can reverse time for just $1 per day." Do you take their offer? How far back do you go? (lemmy.world)

i.e. pay $5 to go back 5 days.

The time travel is permanent and one-way.

Edit: this is a one time offer and your budget is however much liquid cash you have right now. Cards are accepted, though.

For non-Americans, feel free to convert $1 USD to your currency

You would erase 13 years of your life for money?

[–] simple@lemm.ee 15 points 1 year ago

Honestly it would suck but I wouldn't mind reliving the last 13 years while being rich.

Who wouldn't? That's thirteen years you could spend living a lot better, spending more time with friends and loved ones, fixing regrets, and actually living life without spending half of your waking hours on the job.

I'd probably go further back than that, to be honest.

I would not wish my children out of existence just for the chance to make different ones.

[–] Established_Trial@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Same. No matter how annoying they can be sometimes, I wouldn’t give my specific kids up for any amount of money.

You're not erasing 13 years you're just living the 2010s a second time instead of living 2070 to 2083

You're losing the chance to witness 13 years of human history but you get your 9 to 5pm back from 2010 to 2070 which is insanely more valuable than whatever events they'll come up with when you're 80
