Don't be mean. I promise to do my best to judge that fairly.

A second chance? I still haven't even figured out what to do with my first chance.
Oh man...sadly, I would never have meet most of my friends, which would instantly suck. But I know it is predictable, but I would take advantage of bitcoin mining. I would annoy the fuck out of my parents to get to it. I would seek to get my hands on the internet as soon as possible!
And of course, if I make money on time, buy Pokemon Platinum with bitcoin.
I would use all the money to create passive income, and spend most of my time studying, exercising, taking care of my health, just to go to an university to get a career in AI engineering, knowing how important it would become. But I would try a different path to today's advanced AI, attempting to beat the big companies to it...
You're not time traveling, you're de-ageing.
No, what is the point? Hard pass.
If I have to get turned back into a baby in place then no thank you, quite happy with life as it is. If we are going back in time there's ofcourse ample time for things like doing the right investments and retiring from work before even leaving school.
And I can find my wife way earlier in life.
True, having your mother's tit forced into your mouth would...really suck.
Luckily, my mother gave me condensed milk...haha...fuck.
I'd be a millionaire by age 10.
Same. Mom was a religious but job and dad ain't far behind. Nothing could incentivize me to relive that. That's just double trauma.
Depends on if it's de-aging or time travel.
If I'm just de-aged and left in the present I would try and become a real life Baby Herman from Roger Rabbit and go into comedy.
If it's time travel I'd try not to make the same mistakes but then end up making all different ones and ruining my life in new and interesting ways.
Yeah if I'm a baby in 2026 with my 2026 skills and knowledge, it's not particularly useful because I don't want to start literally working as a newborn and in 20 years my skillset might not be as relevant anymore. Not to mention the whole "oh buy a bunch of Bitcoin" thing ain't gonna work if it's already at (whatever it is now).
It's actually kinds low rn last time I checked (last week)
Any timetraveler would probably get ton of bitcoins when they first emerge
Depends on when they emerge. Now? Maybe not a great plan, or maybe it is. 2010 or whenever it kicked off? Absolutely. 1750? What’s a bit and how can it help with my upcoming Industrial Revolution
Ah, i meant when bitcoins first emerge
I'm desperate to eat flavor
You get turned back into a baby but you retain all your skills and memory, what do you do?
Run away from home, walk the earth, avoid narcissists and psychopaths, create an emancipatory revolution provisioning each and all with all the emancipatory technology they could ever need, sublimating humanity to an interstellar (even intergalactic) species.
