1 day. Go back to where he approached me. Kill him before he can make the offer.

Goodbye space-time.

Nah thanks, I'm good.

Do I get to choose which day gets reversed? Can I make October 14, 1066 go backwards and see what happens?

immediately thinks of the alternate ending to The Butterfly Effect 🤔

Does time reverse for me too? Do I remember? Do I get younger?

10 years back. Back to high-school when I would hang out with my friends at the bus stop and at lunch and after school.

Less than a month ago when I hadn't yet accidentally deleted several days of vacation photos. Other than that, my life tended to get better over time, no way am I travelling back to a time when it was worse.

Pretty difficult to imagine doing this honestly. Do I retain the memories of what I'm reversing? Or is it just a rewind? Because if I don't retain the memories then it's a bit pointless, but if I do I think I'd have a hard time reliving things. For instance I would never go back far enough to erase my children, but my youngest was born 2 weeks before COVID. Regardless of any get rich quick scheme I could think of, I am really not certain I'd want to knowingly live through that again.

I wouldn't go further back than the birth of my daughter, because there's no way I'd take the chance to not have her in my life, no matter what I might wish to change from before that. That said, I'd like to change a few things since, so I'd probably do that.

I'd go back to the beginning of 2019. I don't want to backtrack too far, but this would give me enough time to sell the house, move, and get situated before covid and the price of everything going crazy.

But it's not just about that, it's about repairing a relationship with a loved one while I still can.

I have more than enough to get to 2010, which is as far back as I can go (so I don't erase my son). I have a LOT of things to do differently in that time...

If I murder my child self, do I just stop existing? I'd take up that offer in a second.
