What would you do if you suddenly ended up back in October 2019?

[FuckedUp]

Imagine, for instance, you're walking across the house when you blink and suddenly you're outside. Except you're not just outside, you're at your college campus. Full of people with not a mask in sight. A few moments later, you get a text from your mom asking how your stats exam went. "Stats? I took that last fall!" Then it dawns on you: you're in fall 2019. Checking your phone again, you confirm it's mid-October 2019.

What do you do, applying the above scenario to whatever you were doing at the time?

edit: assume determinism is in effect until catching up to the present day

Start laying in supplies of paper towels, tissues, toilet paper, bottled water, hand sanitizer, baby wipes, and gloves. Would be fully stocked no later than the end of the year. Doing this presently, for a wider variety of things.

 

[JULAY]

Start shorting the fuck out of the stock market.

 

[NIGGER ASS PEE POOPY RAPE]

be upset that all the work I've done on my house/hobbies in the past 7 months is gone, wish I'd memorized some lottery numbers or checked which cryptocurrency or stocks are doing great in the future. otherwise nothing has changed for neets. I can't even think of any famous people who've died in the last 7 months to win deadpools. maybe if I tried hard enough I could remember a few.

 

[Intelligent Calcium]

Warn people about 9/11.

 

[Agent Abe Caprine]

Figure out how I managed to time travel.

 

[MalWart]

Kill myself and end my life on a positive note.

 

[Boris Blank's glass eye]

Start buying up pharma stocks, and prepare to short the rest.
Buy a truckload or two of cheap surgical masks at the low price of $0.25 per piece and only start selling them in March.

Edit: clarification.

 

[Dom Cruise]

I'd tell the girls at my locals Hooters about the coming Corona apocalypse and ask them if they want to be my harem to help repopulate the US.

I'd use Kobe Bryant's death, which happened just before the shit really hit the fan in the US, as proof that I'm really from the future.

 

[Wendy Carter]

Shit my pants and do nothing.

 

[Salad Dodger]

I'd hope I paid enough attention to things I could win bets on. Doubtful though.

 

[PS1gamenwatch]

Hope I’d end up back in October 1999

 

[BeboRefugee]

Do what most above said, maybe wait to buy things until they're on sale..
Mostly pray that it doesn't happen again. Groundhog Day is all about hammering home how mundane the repitition gets. This would be that, only reliving these last 3 months would get offensively dull.

 

[melty]

I would put all my money into Tesla calls, sell them at the peak, and then start shorting the market, specifically airlines and cruise lines. Then I would buy Amazon stock at the bottom.

 

[c-no]

See if I can undo shit that happened while I was taking care of a family member as his caregiver. I lived in another state back in that month and I'd rather see if things could change for the better. Otherwise, it's all still fucked.

Other than that, I'd either get winning lotto numbers or wish I was thrown further back so as to make past me reconsider life choices.

 

[Кот Бегемот]

why do people always assume that time will take the same path. May be this time around Chinks eat another kind of bat and virus is actually going to wipe out 99% not 1%.

 

[Orion Balls]

If it's 2019, and I'm on a college campus, that means that I decided at some point to work for the demon that is Sodexo. I will go neck myself, now.

All joking aside, I'd probably go buy some fabric so I can get to sewing and corner the market on fashionable yet effective masks.

 

[Queen Elizabeth II]

Declare Corona to be a new God and myself as its sole prophet.

I'd then pull out some death note tier shit and begin announcing online who and where people were about to die.

Because I've no better ideas.

I've thought this very thing too: to keep things simple, assume determinism is in effect until you catch up to the present day.

 

[Guts Gets Some]

-Start talking to someone I only just recently met a lot sooner, and get that started off on the right foot. (Better late than never, but this should've happened a long time ago; I just pussed out all year in 2019.)

-NOT buy the moped I would later buy in December and lose 250+ on.

-Various other little fixes like that.
