Pick one:

Live out your school life again as a 10-year old with the same level of knowledge you have now.

Or,

Be 65 years old with $10 million in the bank.

@Demolishun No, it's still 2023 but you're back to being 10 years old.

Making it the early 90s would make it an obvious choice, isn't it? Everyone would say, oh I would buy bitcoin, microsoft and Apple's shares lol.

@retoor second option. i want to just chill out and die in peace.

Id be too depressed as a 10 year old haha. so yes. 65 with 10 million

@retoor I have lost the willingness to get into a relationship such a long time ago. Casual flings here and there, sure no problem.

I don't want to go through the trauma, again.

That's tough. Hindsight, I had the athletic aptitude as my father and other members of my family, if I knew then what I know now, I would have gotten in crazy shape, like Duane Johnson crazy, then beat the shit out of the bullies that slashed my bike tires and threw my bike in a dumpster. I was around 10, they were 16~17. It happened more than once.

Once I got that out of my system, I'd like to jump forward to 65 and a millionaire.

@PaperTrail you can't play both sides of the coin you know.

@Demolishun > "could have learned to drive a car and run over those fucks."

I would have preferred to 'get my hands dirty' in a very public way, if you know what I mean.

It wouldn't be *MY* school life if it didn't involve going back to the 90s. I also don't want to get instantly old, though the money would be nice.

Both options suck. The one about being 10 again sucks slightly less.

The first one I think. I wanna have a second chance at making friends. I would not waste it.

Possibly with less sucky classmates. Or just... with me being strong enough to not have to deal with bullies. Most importantly I just wanna spend my days with people I like, doing things I like, learning things I like. I wish I wasn't as disconnected as I am.

Being a 10yo with the kind of knowledge I have now is clearly not normal. I will be too different. There will be unwanted attention. They will treat me like a genius (and want to lock me up in some education institution), but not like a human with rights (because I’m a kid).

No.

Second option sucks too — I want to live my life, not teleport into 65yo me. Just give me those millions.

I think I choose option 2. Because now, I'm 65 years old and have zero dollars in my wallet

@retoor I’m waiting till I’m 65, then choosing the second option.

@kiki That's the whole point of this. Both suck and you have to choose the lesser evil.

@Nanos no. I mean unwanted attention. Wait, this kid knows too much being this young. What's the nature of it? Maybe we should watch her closer? Or… conduct some experiments? We need smart kids after all. What's the secret?

@retoor let the chaos reign. Your personal chaos. When you die, you don't think whether you conformed to other people's opinion or not, you think about the fact that you lived the life that wasn't your own. But it's already too late.

@retoor I kinda get their point. When you work too hard among your colleagues, it raises the bar for others for them to match your levels of energy.

That isn't ideal in the workplace I'd argue.

You can work as hard as you want in your home because no one is watching u work. Your results might speak volumes though.

Thing is, this is a problem with freshers joining the workplace. They come in with starry eyes and try to take as much work as possible and some time later they realize they ain't getting paid extra for it. Then the energy levels go down to everyone else's in the office.

Edit: You can work hard as much as u want if its helping you learn. Im not against that.
