Let's say that you were suddenly transported from your sleep back to where you were as a baby, in your infantile state of being, but with the mind and intelligence you have now. You think the same way you do right now, just in a much younger body. No one knows besides you.

What would you do?

Ask her out much sooner than I worked up the courage to. (Or never ask her out at all, 50/50)

Also buy Costco stock
 
1. Convince my parents to invest in Google

2. Marry the redheaded tomboy who liked me

3. Save Gunpei Yokoi's life, and ask him to hire me

4. ????

5. Profit!

I could barely socialize as a kid; going back to be a 30 something year old in a childhood body sounds even worse.

I would change my crypto gambling addiction in my teenage years but if that didn’t all blow up in my face I wouldn’t be the person I am today and I’ve grown accustomed to my own company.
 
All the bullshit I had to deal with in life was literally out of my control since it happened in childhood. That continued since I was insanely poor in early adulthood until recently.
I have to go back with knowledge on crypto, sanction issues, and sports bets to get my mother to build a really good trust/college fund for my sister and I.

"Yes mother. Find a bookie that will allow you to bet on the Word Trade Center collapsing in 2001. No, do not ask questions just do it."

I definitely do not want to relive my childhood. The poverty is a big factor. My mom may have actually believed me if I became a walk-in and prophesized the future since she was into that stuff. But I'd be wary my changes could backfire.

Would it be the same timeline? If so, become a famous psychic child who predicted Princess Diana’s death, 9/11 etc.
 
Can I be born ten years earlier as well?
Yeah I would do this. I would make a LOT of changes to my life.
I’d make sure I was in certain places at certain times, I’d go to a different uni. I’d study different things. I always wanted to go to art school, maybe I’d do that or just study art more. I’d learn to play the piano.
I’d avoid doing certain things and avoid certain people. I would waste a lot less time.
I’m not sure it’s a healthy thing to think about though. You can’t change the past, you can only try to learn from it

  • Take a "different path" in regards to my education.
  • Account for the shit "family matters" is going to bring, and I know it will bring.
  • Train for better musculature when younger, while having a healthier diet.
  • Take steps into opening a wider path for getting the hell out of here.
  • Account for my now high knowledge on certain people's personalities & how (shit) they are.
  • Give less of a fuck for certain things, which I now succeed in doing.
