Would you start your life over?

[sweggeh]

Like become a new person with no recollection of your previous life?

[OncePerMonth]

No. That is essentially me dying and somebody else going on instead.

[Jameerthefear]

what? no. that is dumb.

[sweggeh]

No. That is essentially me dying and somebody else going on instead.

But it would still be you. You just got amnesia and a new body.

[sweggeh]

I guess most people who live a decent life wouldnt do it, but people living in 3rd world countries or have serious disabilities might want to roll the dice at ending up with a better life.

If you have a financially and emotionally stable life then it mostly wouldnt be worth it. Odds are you would probably come out worse.

[KobesFinger]

No but what would be cool is to go back to primary school age with my current mind

To clear that up - I'd play the long game by doing amazingly well on SATs, GCSEs and A-Levels

[OncePerMonth]

But it would still be you. You just got amnesia and a new body.

Doesn't matter. My memories are essentially what make me who I am.

[OncePerMonth]

What would suck is having to go to school with a bunch of dumb kids. And if you skip a bunch of grades, nobody will like you.

[ace23]

Am I just given somebody's else's life at random or do I get to choose who births me? Lol

I wouldnt do that. I would drop out of school and try my hardest to become rich. Would be easy with 15 years of knowledge ahead of everyone in the world. Youtube, Facebook, Twitter, it would all be mine. I would probably write Harry Potter and Hunger Games too.

In this hypothetical it would be random.

The first HP book came out in 1997, I was 2. I can't code/programme so FB, Youtube etc are out of the question. If I was trying to get rich that way I'd just memorise sports outcomes. Imagine betting on United winning the Treble, or Arsenal going undefeated (:pimp: :pimp: :pimp: btw)

Lol hell nah then

Yeah but since you went back in the future, things will have been changed. Its not guaranteed the sports results will come out the same way. Creating businesses modelled on todays biggest brands is surely the most sure fire way to become successful?

Plus even if you keep getting the right sports results, it will eventually lead to a betting scandal or you getting decapitated by some mobsters. It wouldnt last.

I think buying stocks might be the best way, let Zuck build facebook or Musk build Tesla and just profit.

[NugzFan]

considering the worst american is still better off than 99% of the rest of the world, a random swap is stupid.

[sweggeh]

I've said it once and I'll say it a million times. Stop making threads OP. They're trash.

Well you post in every single one of them so they cant be that bad. Whats the most popular thread on the OTC right now? Photos with terrifying backstories, right? Who created that?

Your a joker. I create the biggest threads on the OTC, go look it up. I get people talking. Nobody can remember any thread you make, you spineless piece of shit.

I already know your a stalker and a snake, stop following me and embarrassing yourself further you clown. Stop posting outside the BTE, thats where trash like you belong.

[Le Shaqtus]

Nah, my life is pretty solid.

[J Shuttlesworth]

Would be stupid. There's a good chance we'd end up being completely impoverished if it was random

[Smoke117]

Yes. At 30 years old I've already supremely ****ed up my life...so a 2nd chance would be perfect.

[BigBoss]

No.

Start over knowing what i know now? Hell yeah

[BigBoss]

Yes. At 30 years old I've already supremely ****ed up my life...so a 2nd chance would be perfect.

How so?

[OncePerMonth]

How so?

His username is Smoke. How do you think?

[GimmeThat]

I think that changing what you tell people about yourself, whole heartedly, is what it is.

[ottooooooo]

nope, I don't like the idea of reincarnation one bit. The world is only gonna get shitter, more overpopulated, etc. Once im dead I wanna stay dead, even if its just a black void of unconsciousness.

[Just2McFly]

If I retained my knowledge of how life works, and the lessons from my most painful failures/realizations then I just might.

[BlkMambaGOAT]

Doesn't matter. My memories are essentially what make me who I am.

Sounds like a line from a movie:rockon: :rockon:

[MadeFromDust]

No. One life is enough
...especially since it lasts forever : )

[ace23]

I understand your point, but that's not true lol.

[CavaliersFTW]

But it would still be you. You just got amnesia and a new body.
:facepalm :oldlol:

[Bandito]

Yes I would. I don't hate my life but if I had the chance to start again I would. #YOLO

[HomieWeMajor]

You will still be the same person so its pointless

[SexSymbol]

If I knew how my old life plays out if I make certain choices, then yes, for sure, but if not, I'm not starting a random life with no recollection of the old one

[blood yes]

And end up in North Korea? No thanks

[CelticBaller]

But it would still be you. You just got amnesia and a new body.
Wtf, then it wouldn't be you :oldlol:

[ihoopallday]

I'd go back and encourage your parents to use a condom :cheers:

[NBAplayoffs2001]

Yes, lately I have realized how much I wish I could restart my life in 9th grade. Not cause of grades but because I didn't get involved in sports as much as I should. Focused on one girl for too long, dated her for a few short months but never got over her. Got other girl's numbers senior year of high school when I became flirtatious but never made a move. There are 3 girls I know of who told me post high school that they liked me because I was athletic and cute. I was a late bloomer and got taller/bulkier after high school but high school in general for me was very irritating. I was frustrated about one person I dated and I remember struggling in school for my last two years because I would desperately try to get back with her. I did get over her eventually but I missed out on a lot of dating options that I had back then :( . College was what I expected, even the bad experiences and memories have made me a stronger person. I don't regret anything after high school but everything from 9th grade to 12th grade. Weird I know.

And then you're born in Sudan with AIDS and birth defects.

[NBAplayoffs2001]

And then you're born in Sudan with AIDS and birth defects.

Lol, I know I'm grateful for everything. Just wish I could do some different.

[J Shuttlesworth]

I would love to start over, but as my same self. The big difference is i'd start practicing the guitar at 5 years old instead of 16
