I feel like I would make use of it more if I could do it again. Maybe that's weird, I don't know.

Edit; To ask more of a question. What would you do differently?

Maybe jump through some sweet memories. And relive the excitement I had for watching cartoons and 90s Anime.

Again? No! Back in time? Yes! I wouldn't waste my time there anymore, tried to make something out of my life with my degrees, all BS. Made something from my / our (wife and me) creativity, works like a charm for many years. So much wasted time and energy, only to justify the worthless existence of ignorant, fascist so-called teachers. There was one, Mr Lehrke, who was a good person. One! Rest in peace, my friend. The rest: human trash. At least in my experience. School's a highly subjective time, I guess.

If I have my memories and knowledge it may help me make better decisions, but it would also be frustrating having to wait for societal changes. It was still a time where being called gay was an insult and racism was rife, and while that still happens, it's much more likely to be called out.

Additionally, watching the world do nothing to stop climate change would be even harder to take knowing what is coming. Maybe I'd try to change that, but it would be like shouting into the void (as climate scientists can attest to).

As the saying goes "Youth is wasted on the young."

No thnks. Could I instead keep all my credentials and start work at age 13? I'll keep the bald spot and beer belly too.

All your knowledge, but are you ready for school again, recall that it was hard last time

[-] neptune@dmv.social 1 points 9 months ago

For all the topics you likely could apply yourself more in, there's probably ten that would (especially as a repeat) just be so fucking boring you would not want to relive.

I'd rather return to school as an adult than relive learning my colors, or writing book reports, or whatever else was too boring or too easy the first time around.

There were subjects which I hated, either because I found them boring, the teachers were not inviting, or I just needed sleep. For instance, chemistry and national history are examples of them.

Many years later, I found myself in situations where I started to develop curiosity around those subjects, where I would wish to have properly learnt or attended those topics again.

[-] Gazumi@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

Yup! The absolute best days of adventure and awe.

[-] psud@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

No awe the second time around

Do I still have money? In a heartbeat.

No such thing. Ask away!

!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.



Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.

Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.

Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.



Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.
