That's would probably be the best circle jerk in the world, but you've got send everyone underage out of the room to play Minecraft together or some shit

That was literally the first word into my head. I don't think I would actually do that, though. Honestly I'd probably just want to leave, I seem annoying.

5th grader: Troll him with my femboy outfit while doing a Fortnite dance on him. I was really homophobic at that time.

10th grader: Tell him to just buy that thigh high socks and not get sucked into 8chan that much.

4th semester: Pls use noise cancelling earplugs to that one concert.

Overall I would tell about how I got to my current state and what happened generally. It would be interesting how each of the versions of myselves would react.

My life has taken many twists and turns and there are a lot of things that I could have done better.

But I have only ONE regret that I would change if I could meet my younger self.

I regret smoking cigarettes for 8 years in my teens and early twenties. Cancer sucks. A lot.

Hug myself

Also tell them that I'm proud of how I was and that I understand and accept them, and that I hope (and think) they're proud of me and how I am now

And tell them some really important big things I learned in some special parts of my life

As the eldest I will sit back and watch the chaos ensue.

Wait until you realize you're actually not.

The oldest version of yourself would be dying so better to be one of the younger versions.

Tell 2010 me to get all the bitcoin they can.

I'd get the 40 and unders together (though I wouldn't be one) and we'd try to figure out what the hell happened to those other guys.

[โ€“] SpicaNucifera@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago

Get the latest few years together to have a pow wow and plan therapy for everyone. Then a lot of hugs.

Massive video gaming session.

[โ€“] chahk@beehaw.org 3 points 1 year ago

LAN party was my first thought as well.

I need more details, dude. If I hung out with them for a year, would a new me appear or would we all grow older together? In the case of the latter, would a new 1 year old me appear when the previous 1 year old me turned 2? These are important considerations!

[โ€“] CeruleanRuin@lemmy.one 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I assume this is a multiverse situation, and at the end of the party they go back into their normal timelines, only with the experience of that gathering now with them.

No changing the past for yourself, but maybe changing the course of all of theirs based on how they react. With that in mind, I can't think of a single thing I'd say that would help any of them, except maybe:

"Let's all work on figuring out how this happened, because this rather breaks the universe, doesn't it?"

[โ€“] Datman2020@lemmy.fmhy.ml 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Bro, you explained the situation better than I ever could. I didn't even think of the premise of the multiverse but it makes much more sense

[โ€“] CeruleanRuin@lemmy.one 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

If it was a bootstrap paradox situation, where everything that happened happened, then you'd start to get some serious temporal feedback loops, like some mics too close to a bunch of speakers.

[โ€“] rm_dash_r_star@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Don't know what I'd do with them, but my current self and 20 year old self wouldn't get along very well (I'm old). Probably have to divide them in two groups and keep them apart.

[โ€“] ThaijsClan@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Explain the future doesn't get better and they shouldn't hope too much.

[โ€“] VirginChad@reddthat.com 0 points 1 year ago

We will pick from the crowd those , that tried to kill themselves, but failed. Then we are going to of me
