What would you do differently if you restarted your life with all the knowledge you have now?
Make a name for myself as a child prodigy and use that to work myself into a nice position. I could probably even test out of the school system
early.
Get puss in high school
Black X6, Phantom
White X6 looks like a panda
Convince the government I'm sporadically psychic with very precise warnings about 9/11 and some other natural disasters. Make them give me a comfy high paying job as a secret government psychic.
No bars hit on staceys in high school and lose my virginity at like 13, probably end up killing myself sooner though
From age zero?
I could probably tell my dad to invest in Cisco instead of Sysco and so I'd grow up in a rich household instead of barely scraping by. And then I'd probably just be more active and not get fat. Those two alone would change my life so drastically that basically everything I'd do would be different at that point.
Might gain some sort of reputation as an oracle on the internet. Be a modern day Nostradamus, since all my predictions wouldn't hold up under my personal butterfly effect, so they'd only be half truths.
Smash my high school crush
I think about this all the time. Its always on my mind.
>I'd actually try and have lots of fun
>Continue making friends and talking with people
>Don't give up drawing
>Actually put some effort in and learn how to play the guitar i get
>I'd put effort into playing football this time and actually try
>Spend a hell of alot less time playing videogames and spend more time outside. Side note; I'd buy different games or consoles since I'd still retain my current memories and experiences.
>not be afraid of girls and Kate in particular, give her a chance and have a gf maybe
>pick better classes in highschool and put some fucking effort into my studies for some actually decent grades
>still go to uni but this time i wont smoke weed so damn much and also put some effort into assignments for a better gpa
>I wont fuck up my relationships with the people who matter. I wont lose my friends.
>GET A FUCKING JOB. holy shit i'll actually pursue work and get as much experience as i can as early as 16 or something and work through uni too.
>Never become the useless hiki i am today.
Obviously i would go into a hell of alot more detail ifwheni ever got the opportunity. Its one of my many dreams.
Do things right.
>start HRT before puberty
>grow up as I was meant to be

in my fantasy i restart life as the proper gender, no hormones required

Oh and I would burn ties with my mom, somehow. It would hurt in the short-term but in the long-term it would be best.
Dad was a problem that solved itself, no need to do anything differently there.
>>28460292
>doing 9/11
/devilish/
>>28459815
But if you prevent 9/11, wouldn't that screw up a bunch of your later predictions? Eh? Huh? Hmmmm...
>>28460292
Child genius
9/11
Predict school shootings
Predict natural disasters.
Predict 2016 presidential candidates.
Become known as either a predictor of disaster or the bringer of it.
>>28459764
I would go outside more and eat less.
>>28459764
Restarted as in back to the past?
> save mother from cancer
> save brother from commiting suicide
> make billions
> profit ??
I'd avoid requiring needing therapy back in 6th grade.
I'd enjoy my highschool oneitis before she ruined her life.
I'd work more when I first started working.
I'd avoid my oneitis when she contacted me out of the blue and fucked me right up.
I'd avoid that bullshit truck so I'd still have my old car.
I'd...maybe aim to try harder with a few exes, maybe be a bit more forgiving.
Other than that? Life has been shit but I've been muscling through it. I'm ok with it because my friends seem to respect me a bit more.
>>28459764
All i want is daddy to stop hitting mommy so much. This weird red stuff is coming out everywhere.
Get involved with sports from an early age. Don't isolate myself when growing up. Don't play video games or use the Internet excessively.
>>28459764
This is one of my favorite fantasies, the ability to right every wrong from my childhood adolescence.
I used to wish for the regular things people would change i.e. always stay active, do really well in school, and take more chances socially.
But I think I've achieved a certain clarity of mind over the past 5 months where I've been able to figure out what I actually want and what I should be doing (could call it destiny).
When I was younger I was an incredible pianist. Not only did I learn really fast but I practiced a lot. In a musical family, I was by far the most talented out of my brothers and cousins.
But I got lazy. Started playing videogames. Then puberty hit and I got terrorized throughout middle school, leading to a lack of self confidence in high school.
I was still a good musician though. I was the top saxophone player in my school, but knew I could do better. I just never worked at it.
So I would go back and focus solely on music. Whatever path I take from there I'd have to figure out. But I should have focused on what I'm best at. Now I have to make up for lost time and reprogram all of my habits.
I'd use that knowledge to get just a few friends and constantly amaze them by supposedly guessing everything that would happen correctly
Then I'd vanish without a trace at this age
>>28459764
well, until MS and really HS I wouldn't do much different, most of the things I really regret not doing require me to get in relatively the same state my life was in.
Probably correct small things, just makes sure to not fuck up the big picture. childhood "enemies" I could have avoided making, dumb shit I could have avoided doing, that kind of thing. probably make more of an effort to be aware of world events at a younger age, but no convincing people I'm a psychic or something. Definitely start browsing 4chan earlier, leave more of a mark in the formative period of the biggest memes, but again nothing bid enough to really change how things play out. maybe mine bitcoin before it stopped being viable, but again not telling anyone about it to avoid leaving a huge impact. The goal is to leave things as similar as they are now in the big picture that when I actually need to change important shit there are few unknowns getting in the way.
in MS and HS, nothing out of the ordinary, get /fit/, get better grades, make more of an effort to pursue oneitis (irl I was actually kind of close before I fucked it up via inaction/spaghetti), do more fun shit.
Once all that had been accomplished, I'd start using my foreknowledge to actually make an impact, I want to use my new and improved start at life in a new and interesting scenario from the get-go. Wouldn't be able to do it for long before things changed too much, but I'd get to shake things up and hopefully grab what I can before I loose the advantage. Maybe try to start a big YT channel by breaking news and starting trends just before they actually got big, I dunno. Just have fun with it.
and if total determinism is a thing I'd memorize that winning lotto numbers and the dates at which they won, if it got to a big one I'd be the sole winner have a dependent financial entity accept the money in my name so nobody knew I had it, would be nice to have as much money as I needed for whatever in my pocket.
>>28459764
Buy stock in Apple and try not to remember coming out of my mother's vagina.

>Whatever path I take from there I'd have to figure out. But I should have focused on what I'm best at.
This is such a fascinating perspective. I'm 22 so I'm not exactly a kid but this one statement is going to significantly change the next few months of my life.
>>28461137
Hope it does man. I'm 24 and climbed out from the abyss this year. Lost weight, dealt with my suicidal depression, and now I just need to figure out what I'm meant to do.
All of the energy I spent on other pursuits like the degree that didn't help me find work and all of the stupid useless crap I did were only useful in that they helped get me to where I am now.
If you're great at something it's a waste of time and energy to do anything else.
>>28459764
I would start to delve into serious mathematics and physics at 5-6, but try to attract as little attention to me as possible while training hard to become a massive teen chad by the time I'm 15, I'd also save every penny jewishly and put them to use so I could be financially independent by the time I'm 16. I need high school to be pretty much the same because I'll meet a friend there whose sisterI love to death and we're currently in a relationshipafter that I'm going to become the next Elon Musk.
Oh I'd also force my parents to invest in Apple in the 90s, even if I have to threaten to kill myself for them to accept. I'd convince them I can see the future by predicting a few events that happen down the line.
Lastly, I think I would try to prevent 9/11, but I don't know how effective that would be, I don't think the president of the US would believe a letter sent by a crazy 9 year old.
>>28461185
If you stop 9/11 surely it nullifies much of your ability to predict the future since it's shaped the west so much in the past decade
I would have liked to not cut myself when I was in high school and choose bulimia/anorexia instead
>enjoy my childhood a million percent more
>appreciate every thing pre-adulthood a million percent more
>play baseball until the age limit instead of quitting to focus on Xbox Live
>probably play less vidya games, but still relive the glory days of my favorites
>be smarter about women and flirting
>start lifting at fifteen
>don't ruin relationship with oneitis
>treat people better, nurture friendships more, be a better boyfriend
>stay in college, get different first job
>so many changes
God, I need to stop living in the past.
Exercise since childhood.
Save money since childhood.
Get friends and keep them.
Skip the whole trying out multiple majors thing.
Not screw things up with my ex.
Get on some anti anxiety meds or treatment of some sort. Go to therapy. Take all those chances and live a reckless who gives a fuck life instead of always worrying about the consequences.
I would buy as many brand new sealed copies of games like ALttP and Chrono Trigger as possible, then resell them a couple of decades later.
>>28459764
probably exactly the same as now except I'll be rich through sports betting
Now assuming any of us lacks motivation/drive what have you. Aside from having knowledge of whats to come one would think your personality would coincide with said transfer. Consider how your current outlook superseding what you had will change things. There is also the thought of getting stuck in a loop pending on how things pan out. Let's look a little deeper into this instead of the typical missed opportunities and fixing mistakes.
Play the lotto or bet on sports events
>>28459764
I would tread VERY carefully, to make everyone think I was the normiest normpole who ever swam out of the normpond and became a normfrog. Meanwhile I would spend every waking moment at the library or in training until the internet came along. I would make shittons of money as soon as possible and GET THE FUCK AWAY FROM MY FAMILY as soon as I could and never look back.
>>28459764
There's hundreds and hundreds of mistakes i've made in life i'd correct.
I wouldn't have bothered pining after that bitch in school for eight years that's for damn sure. I would have tried more to go to college and get a job.

start studying by myself instead of holding out hope that school and parents had my interests first.
be self employed instead of going to uni and doing a "career"
form all my ideas into patents from the get go
make art
write more
tap all those girls i turned away
buy my own food and workout instead of accepting the shit put infront of me
Everything.
I would do everything differently.
>>28459764
Bet on a bunch of championship games from past years (Super Bowl, Stanley Cup, NBA Finals, etc). Make a shit-ton of money. Buy a bunch of casinos. Marry OP's mom. Buy her breast implants.
>>28459815
Usually people who call in with terrorist threats aren't seen as "psychic", and the government usually gives them a nice cell in a black site with regular daily anal fistings, rather than a comfy high paying job.
>not reading what would you do differently if you restarted - the manga

bang drunk teens and git gud
>>28466021
i always thought this would be a nice scenario for a story
some guys finds himself back in time before some great disaster and every time he reports it he goes to jail and restarts, so he has to figure out a way to stop it without implicating himself
probably already done before though
Get into sports and become a chad instead of playing fucking video games
