How the fuck are you going to stop 9/11 without looking like you had some part in planning it? You'd end up in Guantanamo Bay.

This is why you guys suffer at lifeand can't wake up from the dream. Context of something as simple as the last 18 years of your life is a dream is to hard for you to grasp and understand. It being a dream would mean it was all a work of fiction and nothing was true about it.How can you wake from this dream if you believe it to be truth?

>>36763584
>if it works like normal dreams most of the information will be faded and lost in mere seconds.

Then what is the point of the question? Everyone's answer is then just 'whatever I did in 1999.' Which is less fun that imagining myself at age 14 with my current level of alcohol cynicism, trying to code an imageboard that would work for 28k connections on Netscape navigator.

Invest in Google. Retire by 30.

>>36763734
the point of the question is that the last 18 years of your life was just a dream? Was it a nightmare that wakes you up to try and be a better person? was it a fantasy you are now mad is gone? Was it just a weird experience and nothing more? If OP wanted the question to work like you are thinking he just say "you are back in 1999 with all current knowledge, what do?" Honestly I'm assuming OP was trying to get answers that weren't retarded life hack answers like "invest in starting company that will be big in 18 years" or "stop 9/11" and wanted some serious self reflection.

>>36763981
that was a mighty powerful dream you had there.

>>36763448
Kill self
This is the kind of nightmare that permanently scars your vision of reality just because you know it's possible.

>>36763973
If it was a dream, it will fade away in ten minutes after I wake up. I suppose I'd have some uncertainty that morning, then get on with my life.

It's a strange idea, then. How would your life be different with this extra information, but you can't have extra information?

>>36763448
I would be 3 years old. Fuck yeah I'll do life all over again

>>36763610
It's always a fun reminder to know that I'm more than a decade older than some people here.

You misunderstand have the idea behind it, but the details may go. Say you wake up at age 8 and think "wow I was so lonely and miserable at 26" that would stick with you, perhaps even small parts of what happen like the best/worse moments, the question is: armed with that knowledge do you try and change? Would it motivate change? Would you just dismiss it? What would be the reaction of finding out the last 18 years of your life never happen?

enjoy the best years of the internet before it goes to shit again

>>36764137
>given nothing but a vague reason to second guess themselves in order to not be lonely almost two decades from now, what would the board that second guesses themselves into loneliness do
uh... deja vu I guess?

>>36764137
>Would you just dismiss it?
I was smart enough in 1999 to know if I had a dream in which was as realistic as living and went for what felt like 18 years then it isn't a normal fucking dream.

>>36764137
No, it wouldn't stick with me. How could it, for so many years? Even if it made a strong impression, over the course of decades, it would fade.

Also,
>at age 8
1993 was a long time ago. I can barely remember it at all. I have no memory of any ideas I had back then.

simple really, invest money in proper stocks, bet on events that I know the winners of and become extremely wealthy.

Make sure I dont turn down the 20+ one night stand offers I got during my youth that I turned down saving myself for "someone special" bullshit.

Pretty much chill out afterwards.

>5 years old in 1999
Nothing's changed. I'm just in a different timeline I guess. I'm still gonna be a loser.

Not waste the next 15 years playing vidya and pick something more productive to sink time into.

start taking hormones at age 12 to become a passing qt girl (male) and live an easier life

Cry, and run for my mom.
I would absolutely make all the same mistakes about relationships.
I guess I'd stay more true to myself, care less about high school peers, hopefully put more effort into my schooling, and stay far away from online forums.

Fuck idk.
I hate to say it but I probably wouldn't do anything differently. My mistakes have made me who I am, and even though I hate myself, I can't imaging living any other way. A lot of the time I'll find myself thinking about "Oh, if I would have just done this or this" but I always seem to forget about it pretty quickly. It's strange that I can't really stand myself but I can't really think of any way to change.
