Here's the scenario.


You can travel back in time (to a year you were alive for), yet you retain all your knowledge and experiences, but you get stuck in your younger body.

So for example:

If your birthday is 1983, you can travel all the way back to 1983, with the knowledge you'd have acquired in 34 years, and all the memories and knowledge you have, you could travel to 1986 and be three years old.

The only way to get back to 2017, would be to live through it all again, but you'd know that google would be big, the internet was going to happen, so in theory you could be a billionaire and know market trends, you'd also have to wait 17 years for RuneScape.

You could also in theory be considered a prodigy at 4 years old for knowing so much.

You could also appreciate time with loved ones more, know key illnesses they'd get and be able to avoid those events.

Question for you.


What year would you choose, what would you do with the knowledge you'd have now, and why that year, how old would you be?

Experiencing the death of my mother all over again? I'm not very keen on that.
No matter how much I do, how much I would change I couldn't avoid the pain and sadness from my childhood.

I'd go back to 1998 when I was 14 years old and the first thing I would change would be regarding my education so I would end up where I am today a few years earlier.

1998 When I was 6 years old.
With all the knowledge I would own in school, appreciate my family more, be more confident, make more friends. Can you immagine a 6 year old who is like an adult? Im not sure how interested I would even be in being friends with little kiddos but still.
I would entirely change the course of history, prevent the deaths of my family and friends I know would happen, then go for the girl I want, make big bucks investing and finally just buy me a boat and leave civilization for good TO BE FREE
