What Would You Rather Do?

[Porochaz]

I mean, I drank some.

This is a post.

See a post. Not a lamp post, but a post of letters maybe a number but probably not.

Anyway I have a question which has an answer I hope.

Oh, looks like its been so long I cant remember how to add a poll...

HEY LOOK!!! I peertended I was sober for a seconf and found it.

tHIS ISn't sectretly the 2ns thread about this.

[McMenno]

"some"

[Porochaz]

I mean, I have the capability of drinking more.

[Postie]

I see no real downside to the first option. If I get to keep my current memories then I'd be a super fucking smart 9 year old heck yeah; maybe I can skip high school (also the worst part of my life) entirely and go straight to uni and get rich and famous.
If I don't get to keep my memories then nothing changes.

[Porochaz]

Not at the time, but at the end of the experience, then yeah sure, you can keep your memories.

[Postie]

If I didn't have my current memories at the time then nothing would happen differently and I wouldn't be aware I was being forced to live my life again so I'd just... have duplicate memories at the end? Is that even possible? I feel like it isn't. Maybe I'd have more vivid memories.

[Porochaz]

Thats a point... Hmmm... ok, you have a general outline of what happens if you live the way you did, so you can deviate from that if you want?

[Porochaz]

This is coming from a newly 29 year old, wondering if he should have done things differently. It's like the oncoming of a mid-life crisis except 10 years too early.

Please note Kison, if I ever post this kind of thread, I should be banned for 24 hoursish. If you can do that automatically, it's probably for the best.

I'll see about reinstating

Capricious Mod

just for that purpose.

[Cheery Dog]

I think my life went wrong about 10 years ago, so easy choice.

There is hope on my next 10

how'd I miss this?

[Majiffy]

My life has steadily and unwaveringly gotten worse for the last 10 years and I see no reason that trend shouldn't continue for the next ten so the clear choice is to avoid them and hopefully I'll be be dead by the end of it.

[vonflare]

that's the spirit

[Harambey180]

Picked the first one.
Why would I prefer living 10 years less over living 10 years more?

Oh you sweet, summer child

Don't ever lose that shine in your eyes

Live the past 10 years again AND get to answer the question: if you know (to a certain degree) the end result of your choices how much would you chance/could you change? It is an interesting question.

Also, if it really were possible to re-live the past 10 years...

Well, at the end of those 10 years then I'd be asked the same question again, IF I'd relive the exact same 10 years.

Would I live forever if that was the case?

I would absolutely be a more sociopathic, manipulative human being.

Being kind and trusting is for fools who wish to be used as stepping stones.

[Agent Sparkles]

Definitely relive the past 10 years and possibly get to fix the bigger mistakes that I've made. No reason for me to miss out on my young adult years.

[vonflare]

My life was a lot easier 5 years ago

[Raskolnikov]

struggling to think of a scenario in which someone would want to skip 10 years and then go back to life
can this be simplified into camus's question
unless those past 10 are really really bad and this is a choice between 2 bad things instead of 2 desirable things

[Majiffy]

struggling to think of a scenario in which someone would want to skip 10 years and then go back to life

I can help!

[Majiffy]

Oh wait you said living after


Well idk if I was in a stable living situation I guess that would be okay. Or on death row. That's fine too.
