ASBs let you live your life over again

[Evil Opus]

WI the ASBs contacted you and said that you could live your life over again, with all the knowledge that you had today, from any age that you choose? What do you do?

[DominusNovus]

"Mom! Dad! Buy stock in...!"

Dating suddenly becomes a far more interesting endevour. Especially as the only 10th grader driving a custom built ferrari with my stock in Microsoft.

Been reading Grimood's "Replay"?

[Nekromans]

I'd replay it from the very first painful memory I had, where painful means going (lalalalalalaaalalallala) to block it out.

[Agentdark]

I would replay it from when I was in 4th Grade

I'd go back to 1982 and put a month's salary on Italy winning the World Cup. Then I'd start buying up stocks in Apple and Monsanto. Oh yes, and I'd marry a beautiful girl who, I only discovered later was interested <sigh>. And I'd make babies of my own instead of raising another man's. And I'd emigrate to Canada and make a fortune writing AH science fiction that nobody had thought of at the time.

Oh yes. And I'd start work on a non-government space program ala D D Harriman in "The Man Who Sold The Moon".

One should be careful when using this ability--although I'm told the movie was quite nasty (esp. the inclusion of kiddie porn and dogs being put in sacks and set on fire), the premise of The Butterfly Effect is quite likely.

I'd go back to 16, just as I was going on my exchange year. No-one knew me in the new country, and when I came back, I could justify having changed quite a bit.

I'd excercise more, and better. The body was so fluid then, I could set it in a good mold. Maybe try to get some growth horomones to add an inch or two. Maybe not, it would be difficult, expensive, and back then, they were sometimes infected with CJD.

I could get rich on investing in technological development, rather than single companies that might get butterflied.

"Mom! Dad! Buy stock in...!" Like they would believe you when you say "buy Microsoft!". :rolleyes:

[Leej]

They would notice a sudden change in you.
I'd imagine most parents would be freaked out and try and burn you due to that though...

I'd go from around 8 years old or so. I'm fully sentinent and things haven't went awry yet.
Life still won't be like TV but meh, should improve somewhat.

[David bar Elias]

I'm tempted to go back to 9th grade (just to avoid the unrequited love that lasted all four years of HS).

Meh, more likely I go back to being 10, and call on dad to buy stocks in Microsoft, and to avoid Enron, WorldCom, Tyco at all costs....oh yeah, maybe I'd write The Peshawar Lancers in 1997....:D

Bright day
7th November 2003. I was in exchange year, but finally settled. I was at for me record 180 pounds- which for my barrel shape means I loked reasonable. I would be much more skittish with money and do SAT as US high school was easy for guy like me grades good, I may get some stipendium. All in all I would not be going to repeat fourth year of Gymnasium (due to complete loss of interest), instead being almost there for my first degree...

OR I could go to 1992 and tell dad to invest more hevily in CEZ stocks, which has since increaded by factor of twenty. Though I doubt my dad would take advice from six year old me...

I'd have to choose going back to when I was 16. So many things to change...:rolleyes:
