Let's go relive that childhood trauma! It sure would be interesting trying to raise my parents into functional adults at that age. I wonder if they'd give me an exorcism?

Nah, I don't have to wonder.

Red makes more potential money (buy Apple, buy BTC) but that means it would be almost impossible to meet all my friends and I need to make new ones. Ugh I hate talking with people

Red pill. Would save so much more in childhood trauma and that's priceless.

Here's my take, if went back to when I was 6, I probably wouldn't have the same friends I have now, like genuinely amazing friends. I'd rather not live though middle school and highschool again.

So I'll take the 10 million dollar blue pill.

Red, easily.

Yeah, some childhood stuff would suck but you could probably skip a good few grades. As you already (hopefully) know how to socialize by now, a lot of the childhood friend stuff seems pretty optional.

Dating would be really tricky through the early teenage years as I don't know how I'd feel about girls my own physical age at that point.

Because I'm relatively older and would have insane future knowledge, I could absolutely rock in stocks and have enough money to actually effect change. (Eg, singelhandedly fund a massive Democrat turnout machine in the rustbelt for 2016.)

The hard part would be somehow connecting with my current group of friends whom I love to death and wouldn't want to lose. They are the only thing that makes the blue pill tempting.

Red, and then just get bitcoins early on and invest in tesla, by the time i'm back at 2024 I would have way more then 10M

I'd have to wait 10 years to buy Apple at $0.07 per share, but I think I could collect enough money to make that into more than $10 million.

Knowledge respawn, easily. 10M is chump change compared to what you could make just diamond handing two pizzas worth of BTC in 2010

Blue pill, it said you revert to a certain age, but not a certain time, meaning any information you've kept could be useless in an unfamiliar environment.

Also, it never states that time and reality will play out the same exact way, making said knowledge even more useless.

Everyone is choosing red because they think they would be rich, but would they?

Imagine having the knowledge, that you knowingly stepped back in time, and all of your memories are now not real. They won't happen again unless you actually act exactly as you had before. No one believes anything you say because you are 6. You're forced to go through school again at 6.

Let's say you use your genius to progress quickly through school. Those sorts of kids become famous prodigies. You would end up on the talk show circuit with Ellen.

You would also know way more about your parents than you should at that age, and cause familial issues that would land you on Dr. Phil.

Imagine how torturous it would be to relive every moment, not being able to convince anyone of anything due to your age, unless you give up the fact that you were somehow sent back in time and know the future. Would you be able to convince your family without going insane? Would any government agency take qcute interest in your foresight? Imagine having to keep a level head while also going through puberty a second time.

How much will your presence affect the timeline? Maybe your first big move to get rich causes all subsequent moves to not exist. Maybe your parents hate you. Maybe it's chaos theory. Maybe you end up taking a path away from opulence and become an addict due to the constant anxiety, regret and boredom. Maybe you become a nihilistic mess that drives you to a worse life than you had before.

I'd take the definite of $10M. I know what I would do with it right now. I know it would be good.

Edit: a downvote without a reply telling me how I'm wrong is really an upvote.

This post is really revealing which people are happy with how their lives turned out and which ones aren't.

Red pill. My dumbass thinks I could "fix" the people that fucked up my childhood with the knowledge I have now

Back when I was 6, in 1983, my uncle who worked in the oil industry told me about global warming.

I could totally have been a real radical environmentalist, but I was 6.

A second time around that talk would have an impact, and with some foresight for the next 40 years. I think no one would be surprised if I devoted everything to fixing global warming - they might be surprised at my success in the stock market.

With six it would give me the opportunity to move to my dad and spare me 6 more years of torture and violence. I'd take that even over 100 billion.

Gimme the money, I'm counting down the years I dont want any extra xD

I'd like to go back with my memories, but might run into some sort of time cop situation. It's a tough call.

Blue pill. I'm young enough (37) that I'd lose far more than I'd gain if I chose Red. The knowledge I currently possess can change the world with 10 million.

I think, if you went back in time and started, for example, trying to get rich playing the stock market, you would be surprised by how much things change with your interference. Like, Bitcoin still goes up, but peaks at a different price. The same team wins the super bowl but by a different score. The longer things go on the weirder it would get.

These "would you rather" memes are mind poison when both sides are impossible fantasies

Blue. I wouldn't change much about my life rn, but an extra 10mil would be awesome.

With the red pill I would have knowledge of my neuro oddness stuff which would have been SUPER FUCKING HELPFUL. I could have avoided all the self inflicted misery of middle and high school. I only can guess at what I would be doing as an adult if I were a self aware and confident kid.

Don't get me wrong, I love my life despite the path that I took to get here but I feel bad for little me.

Neither. Trick question.

I’d choose the secret third option:

The cyanide pill.

Red, that would give me 30+ years of life. I would also try to get older healthier.
