    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.

      Take better care of my teeth

      Oh god yeah. In my second chance, I’d completely avoid years of Dr Pepper addiction like I did first time around.

      Was drinking 4L a day, for months, and didn’t realise I had a problem until the day I drank 9L.

      realize that my parents don’t care that much about me and get over it

      That too.

      learn machining from a young age

      And that. Woodwork, metalurgy, masonry, etc too. And plumbing and electrics. All the real practical skills.

    There are quite a few women who said things like “I used to have such a massive crush on you at school/Uni/work” and I never realised at the time.

    If I had a second chance, I would realise at the time.

      This, times 9000. Except, I’d still have the same social ineptitude. XD

        15 years into your new life would probably readjust your opinion when you had to go through puberty again. But that’s between you and your therapist because goddamn would anyone who took this deal need one!

          My puberty was a missfire. I had a very short growth spurt, and that’s it. Was indeed a miserable part of my life, asides from today.

        Did that already in my first time around, with my highschool crush, when we were in college together. A premature “I love you” bomb. 2nd chance, if getting to that same point, I’d have heeded that little voice in me warning “don’t say it, not yet, you’ll ruin it”. Or at the very least, not wimp out after, and instead continue to pursue her.

        I think it’s more likely that though I’d be initially aware of it at the point of magical reincarnation, by the time I reached whatever age it was, I wouldn’t believe it was true anyway, so would act exactly the same as when I didn’t know :)

      I can’t remember what the documentary is called, but there was a recent series about a scam with the old McDonald’s Monopoly game. Some guy who worked the game knew the winning numbers and would get them to various friends and distant family members and take a cut of the prize for himself. It turns out that the chance that very distant relatives would both win were incredibly low odds and that sent a lot of red flags to the FBI which led to him being caught.

      Anyway, my point is that you really could likely get away with winning one, possibly two of those lotteries before feds come asking you questions lol
