    I’d take the $10 mil. Childhood seems like it would be a lot less fun if I had to go through it again but now with the jaded mind of a middle aged man.

    I can for sure find a way to have fun with ten million dollars though 😉

      Yeah my childhood sucked, and knowing I’d have another 12 years of abuse with nobody taking me seriously because I’m a kid? No thanks. I could put $10mil to good use right now.

        Mine sucked too but I’m trans and would kill to have known that information from the getgo rather than finding out in my 20s

      Maybe that’s the secret behind those kids that graduate college at 13 or whatever. They’re playing life on (partial) New Game + mode.

    I’d grab both pills and quickly swallow them just to see what would happen. I might end up a 12yo with $5million. I’d be so obnoxious

    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.

    por qué no los dos? Punch him in the mouth and do whatever you want.:-P

    Or just stare deeply into his eyes until he blinks, then turn around and leave the room. You’re F-ing Neo, you don’t need to play these kids games - if there’s something you want, you just materialize it, easy.

    Ofc… if this were a more irl scenario, I don’t think I’d be taking pills from some random dude offering me to either “get rich quick” or turn me into a 6-yr-old, pudding or no. Maybe this is how he gets rich, by selling my organs or some such.:-P

    Red one gives you both. Literally. Just buy Bitcoin or something.

      Except it doesn’t specify that you go back in time to when you were 6 years old, but that you “restart your life at 6 years of age” so a fairly reasonable interpretation would be that you’ll be a 6 year old in 2024. Monkeys paw and all that.

      Now, I personally think it’s more interesting if it did mean that you went back in time.

    6 years of age would put me in 1978.

    There is a lot I could do from that point onward, that would make $10M look like spare change. Like investing in Apple, or working with Tim Berners-Lee to more effectively launch an Internet that could better resist corporatization and enshittification.

    Is the cash tax free? If so, jump on that shit.

    If it isn’t, maybe take the money, but probably just walk away
