What incentive would there be to live this fucking nightmare over again? Do I have the chance to change everything?

If I could know everything I know now and be able to start those years fresh then absolutely

You'd know about bitcoin

What the fuck is this pic? 2009 didn't look like that

jesus christ yes, i've wasted so much wasted time

Yes.

I'd have 500k bitcoins

When did Trump get pissed on by that Russian whore again? Any chance I could film that?

Yes, wouldn't have broken up with my girlfriend like a retard

oh yes, that's the year I fucked everything up

Yes. 2009 is when things came off the rails for me.

I would go back to London 2009 and court a certain actress while she was still in drama school, and save her from life-threatening injuries. Yes I would.

While I have a balanced, reasonably accomplished life by the age of thirty, I sometimes wonder about what I could have done differently back then, without directly interfering with the successes I have ultimately made. If anything, I would not mind being able to see the people of college I saw when I was still attending. I graduated a few years ago, but I started missing it very shortly after that. I am not aware of any movies of TV shows' episodes pertaining to this, but recommendations are welcome.

2019-10=2009

Can't believe how fast it went

I'd go back so I could fix all my mistakes. Probably kill myself or something before they happened.

Doesn't add up user, 2009 feels like yesterday. Is this what our parents meant when they said time flies by, what the fuck. Any kinos that relate to this suicidal feeling?

Ten years is a lot of time. Though you'd sell the bitcoin in 2017 so you'd probably not do too much damage to the timeline.

BITCOIN IS A TINY MARKET

YOUD KNOW ABOUT MUCH BETTER THINGS

Correct, Bitcoin is but a start. All the stocks that have exploded, all the results of major competitions, all the people that have risen to power to destroy society. So many possibilities.

I remember the last trailer i saw on television before i sold mine and never bought another, it was for district 9, it got me captivated, i only watched it around 2010 though, but god damn i loved it.

No, I lost my job and became homeless.

Yes. So I could dab on my pathetic high school self.

No that was the year my 2nd year teacher diddled me

Bullshit, nobody would have sex with you no matter how depraved.

i would go back to 1999. the 2010-2020 is the gayest decade ever and the 2020s dont look so hot either.

do i get o keep my 2019 mind ?
If yes, send me right up and I'll be rich and drowning in pussy

I'd pluck up the courage to ask my high school crush to go out with me so I wouldn't end up as a 24 year old kissless virgin. I'd also try harder with my grades. I was lazy and hated school.

me too user

This. Would have started a trade when still young and would be redpilled about women

Butterfly effect of your getting involved causes Bitcoin never to blow up

YOU LOSE

I graduated high school in 2009. The last ten years have been a blink. I'm old, bald and unemployed. Oh well.

I wonder if going back 10 years would totally melt your mind after a while, especially if your back in school. Every day would just be filled with deja vu moments and your trying to sort out two timelines of one with stuff that did happen and one where it hasnt yet to

I just wish I didn't get this shit degree everyone told me would be good and went to get a degree in computer science or something in tech. I kinda feel like that would be fine and getting a real job with real money.

Buying Bitcoin with foreknowledge is cheating. Shit, I could have tripled my money on Friday with Nokia, then bought Google calls for a 1500% gain and then bought BYND puts for another 1000% gain if I can cheat like that lol options are crazy

If I could go back to the morning of August 9, 2012 and do things differently, you bet your ass I would. That day almost ruined my life!

Unicuck here. What degree did you get?

On second thought, part of me thinks I deserve to suffer like I am for being a pussy and not approaaching girls. Even if I was presented the option I think I would stay in this timeline.

>yfw the future you is watching you right now through memories

People who don’t believe this user, it’s not so implausible. Even though he still may be making it up, there are probably so many god damn bitcoins out there that can’t be recovered. I bought several hundred bitcoins when they were literal pennies(like I think I spent 20 bucks or so), lost them, and made almost no effort to recover it. Was like(well it literally was) losing 20 bucks. When bitcoin hit 700 dollars I was like oh shit! And tried, but it was way way too late. Didn’t even know where to start anymore.
>tfw having a possible lottery ticket kicking around your old junk in your parents house
It’s kind of maddening honestly

Most of my good friends have moved away or left me because they disagreed with my opinions on certain things. I dont even Express my opinions strongly. One time someone was talking shit about trump calling CNN fake news and I said it is fake news along with every other MSM. He got pissed off to all hell about that and cut me out. And this is a guy who was one of my best friends for like 15 years. I still have a few friends but cant seem to make new ones.

Yes but only so i could get my dad to stop smoking, everything else good and bad can happen without me changing it.

jesus

im sure hes happy im sitting on Yea Forums on a tuesday morning

Probably true. I'm just jaded now, though. Where as back then I had hope. I dont even know if you would call it hope, I was confident the future was bright.

You still have time.

You stop caring after 30, whatever happens, happens.

Don't fall for the meme, everyone has regrets and things they'd do differently but there's always a positive to every negative, I wouldn't want to go through my youth again

Growing older only sucks for Boomers because they have no souls and they can see the void coming for them, younger generations have figured out that you don't have to turn into a boring old fuck

I’ve been on Yea Forums since I was 12 and I feel as jaded as anyone else here. At least I have a good number of friends at school and have hobbies to keep me from stagnating.

YOU CAN LOG IN TO ANY COMPUTER

WHAT, FDE? ITS CRACKABLE

A LOST DRIVE IS THE ONLY REASON TO LOSE 5MIL IN BUTTCOINS

You're not gonna mature by spending your teenage years on an edgy website. You need to have real life experiences throughout the next few years to grow up; then you don't have to worry about being a 30 year old neet

Don’t listen to these fags and just do what makes you happy. You don’t know how much time you have, enjoy it. You also can’t stop the passage of time. Blink and you will be me giving advice to an underage faggot yourself I promise. If you are happy shitposting here do it. If not find what does make you happy. We all could die tommorow, don’t do meme shit like “get a hobby” unless you want to, in which case do that. Only exception is don’t do things that are sure to fuck your life up, for example don’t get too hard into drugs. Don’t raw dog and bust nuts into skanky women etc.

>If you are happy shitposting here do it.

Pathetic, I bet you'll even whine about how Yea Forums ruined your mind when you hit 27. By the time I came here I was already a husk of a human being.

MOOOOOOODSSSS
UNDERAGE B&

No. Do something.

Why? The only reason anyone has regrets being here is they wanted to be doing something else, and did not do it. For example, I’m taking a shit at work right now, there’s really nothing else I could be doing with my time I would rather be doing while taking a dump. Therefore I will have 0 regrets about this. It is only in failing to do what you want that you will have regrets. If you want to spend all day shitposting, do it. Where is the regret there? I spent a whole summer as a teen playing ocarina of time and have no regrets. Also spent a summer chasing after and banging a redhead qt. No regrets. I wanted to do those things and did them. What is wrong with some of you? If you don’t want to be here, do what you want. Simple as.

With even just an hour of preparation, time travel to the past is always worth it.

I can live in a world with Bionicles again....yes please.

Going back to 1911 before the formation of the federal reserve would be a better choice.

One hand I can fix my life and get rich in the process but that means I won't be a fuck up thus I will never meet this qt from my suicide support group which I'm in the process of dating.

Seriously i don’t understand what you mean by this. Would you not use the internet in your “better life?”. Or would you use different websites, if so which ones and why not go there. I come here in my free time because it’s where I choose to go. If you niggers want to go to a different website type in the url. What’s the god damn problem.

I was so blind bless you user

>wanting to relive the worst decade since the WWI
The rise of true SJW insanity is comparable to the 1960s in terms of its destructive impact, though lacked any of the creative juices that made that decade memorable.

Go back? To what? It wouldn't even be my reality I go back to, the universe has a way of balancing things out back to the status quo. user's you are all here for a reason, you can live in regret and solitude of what could have been or deal with the hand you are dealt in life.

Having a better and happier life means you won't waste your time in a cantonse image board

>Would you not use the internet in your “better life?
Yeah, pretty much. Bare minimal usage is best.

i feel like 2009 was the last year I felt truly connected to my generation and to pop culture.

fast internet, mediafire, torrents, witch house, grimes' first album, 80s synthpop revival, dumb phones, very few remakes or reboots in movies, obama, no obsession with transexuals, vbulletin forums.

It felt like everything was going to be fine.

>Seriously i don’t understand what you mean by this.
The idea is not fixing your life. The life you led so far has already past by. What's done is done. It's what you do today and tomorrow onwards that determine what your new life will become. It's like a phoenix rising from the ashes.

Based

2009 was the last year i was truly happy so yes in a heartbeat

One of the very few benefits I have for having an incredibly shitty childhood and adolescence is that I never have any desire to revisit the past, or long for time gone by.

The future is where it’s at

Everything since 1990 has been bullshit.

Everything is fine. You're just jaded, unhappy and stuck in the past.

Going back ten years will cause countless chain reactions that change how time will progress forward, you can't expect to find 2019 the way you left it

Also you are shaped by your experiences, you won't get back to 2019 the slow way and think or feel the same way about anything. Planning to re-meet a person from a completely different starting point would be pointless.

I actually often want to go back to 2009 or 2010. Back then I hated everything but now it seems to be more appropriate time for me. I was way happier back then. I had not much worries. I'm a doomer now. I feel like things seemed much brighter and optimistic back then. It's also crazy how fast the times flies by. I still remember what I did each month in 2009 or 2010, sometimes even by the exact day.

A futile fantasy. You just want to combine your youth with smarter, more experienced mature mind. Even the people who had it good when you didn't don't have that benefit.

Live the now, not the then.

I know that, but it's very clear to me that the world took a dark turn in the last 10 years because of social media.

I hate doomsayers but it's really hard to see any positives.

It's hard when you fill your mind with negativity from places like this

and let's compare
>2009
Recession
People starting to get attached to smartphones too much, social media takes the place of social life
PATRIOT act in effect
People so angry about black president that racism becomes a massive divisive issue when it had seemed calmer before, also paved way to #metoo society that makes you walk on eggshells everywhere.
Yeah fuck post 9/11 USA.
>1999
Booming economy before the dot com crash and then 9/11
haven't been in real war in almost a decade, and that was a brief operation.
The internet was still a new untamed wilderness with opportunity everywhere, who cares about bitcoins when you could maybe beat Elon Musk or Jeff Bezos to the punch and be billionares, or at the very least Zuckerberg.

My grandparents thought the world took a dark turn because of tvs and vhs players. My parents thought it took a dark turn with video games and computers.

Same story different day, new ways bad and scary not like muh old ways.

NICE FALLACY

TRANNY BATHROOMS IN THE SUPREME COURT IS WHY DRUMPF WON

AT SOME POINT "PROGRESS" HITS THE LIMIT AND PEOPLE HAVE ENOUGH

Both TVs and video games created bad habits and contributed to people living sendetary lives.

Nope. Too close to my colapse. And all my good times already passed.

Maybe. I frequently wish I did things differently. There were so many girls in high school I could have approached differently and probably fucked. I was one of those "in betweeners" who was cool enough for the cool kids but weird enough for the weird kids. I should have used that more to my advantage but I had crippling confidence issues. All I needed was a haircut and some face cream.

Now everyone's married and I just tell people I'm "working on myself" whenever they ask why I'm single.

You're asking to perform an astronomical amount of work versus cheating the lottery.

Why 2015? Is that year nostalgic for you?
That stretch of 2015-2017 almost seemed hopeful.

>Would you go back to 2009 if you could?
yes, it was right around i truly felt love for the first/last time. even though it ended badly i would do it again. and i could buy bitcoin so i wouldnt have to worry. If i could choose a time to go back to i would want to go back to when my mom was a teenager and hang out with her
