Blue or red door?

Blue door is a monkey's paw. You go back in time? You butterfly-effect shit you didn't intend to.

• Buy a bunch of Bitcoin? A series of unanticipated changes means people figure out it's a pyramid scheme early and by around 2017 or so, the last Bitcoin miner shuts down. But hey, at least video cards are affordable!
• Bring back Lotto numbers? Well sorry, buddy, but just by breathing the air differently, the air currents where the numbers are drawn are affected, and you're left with zilch.
• Got kids younger than 10? They don't exist anymore! If you try to have them again, you end up with other kids who are similar, but not the same as the ones you loved... and have deleted from the timeline.

The answer to these time-travel opportunities is always to run screaming from them. But hey, at least with this one you've got an alternative where you become an instant millionaire! Take the $10 million. Don't fuck the timeline up.

Blue Door. One of my greatest mistakes was not buying Bitcoin when it was 100 dollars

Red door, I can't say how much better I would do things if I did them again. But 10 mil can make things much better right now.

Permanently Deleted

The blue door, because money can't buy me the time back. It's priceless.

Also I could just buy BTC at $2 a piece and make the 10 mill as well. So it's win-win.

Go through blue door to choose red door instead.

Blue door is essentially erasing your own existence. Why do people even view it as an option? The me that made mistakes created the me today. If I erase those mistakes I wouldn't exist. Just some other guy with an easy life.

Red Door cause I know myself enough to know I'm gonna make all the same mistakes even if I had perfect recollection of years of details I don't even remember now.

Blue door would mean having to relive my childhood years being forced to go to church and Christian school, but without the indoctrination that made it feel like it was a good thing. That would be torture.

Blue, because I'll might come to this again and take the red door on the second time around.

Read, give me that money there are more mistakes to be made.

Who decides what is a "mistake" and what is "fixed"? I feel like going through the blue door would trap you in some kind of infinite loop

Why worry about the past when you can have a brighter future with an extra 10 million cash?

Blue door without question. Even if there was a stipulation that I couldn't invest in stocks or bitcoin or do anything else that would make me rich.

I fantasise about going back and doing it all again, not making huge changes, but little ones, living my life with the knowledge and security I have now, so I would be able to enjoy my childhood instead of stressing about the future, I could be kinder to people around me and help them when they were struggling. I could tell the people I loved that I loved them instead of keeping those feeling held back due to insecurity. I could spend more time with my pets when I was "too busy" before. I could start the hobbies and sports I ended up loving as a child, and actually have the chance to be competitive at them.

I’ve seen enough of Silicon Valley to know you take the money and run.

Does "not buying Bitcoin for $1" count as a mistake or not?

I don't have any major regrets worth fixing, even though I've made some major mistakes. However, all of my current problems could be solved with $10M. Give me the money

Red. No amount of fixing mistakes will ever repair my lifelong depression.

After walking into the blue door the first mistake it corrects is that I should have picked the red door.

Am I the only one who thinks there haven't been big 'mistakes" in their life, just, you know, life? I mean, sure, there are things I would do differently given the chance, but not something I would call big mistakes. I would definitely go for the money - I would even pay money not to have to go though my teens again lol

Mistakes such as guessing the wrong lottery numbers all those times.

Time travel way way back to when the first fish crawled on land.

And step on it.

You're welcome.

This is going to be very age related I think for most folks. Myself blue door after making and taking with me a list of lottery numbers and dates along with major sporting event outcomes and horse races for good measure. Oh also stocks along with buy sell dates and value on those dates.

Red door, I'm not very unhappy with my previous choices

Red door fo shiz. Those “mistakes” led directly to the pretty fuckin cool life I have now.

Stanley walked through the red door.

Red Door. Fuck dealing with my life again during that time. Plus, the butterfly effect would be a major concern.

Blue door for sure. I can invest early in a ton of stuff that would get me way above 10 mil. And in this economy, not investing was a mistake.

10 mil in hand. Had to make mistakes to learn and get better.

Easily the money. There were many things in life that didn’t go quite right for me, but there was a lot that did as well. If I muck around with what already happened, I might end up worse than I did.

You are a result of your personal experiences. Going back and changing would make you an entirely different person.

I've made many mistakes in life, still I like the person I've become. And I'm still absolutely in love with my husband. For 23 years now - wouldn't trade that for a new life.

So red it is!

If I went through the blue door my son wouldn't exist, so fuck that give me the money.

Too much coding for me. I read 10 milli as millisecond. And i was like what?

Red. People won't care about my mistakes if they're drinking mojitos on my yacht.

Haven't really made many mistakes in my life, so.... red door!

blue door on loop be an immortal

Blue door. I've only just figured out what I want to do with my life and I'm terrified I'm running out of time.

If I can fix my mistake of dumping my NVDA positions at $2.70 (post-split pricing) in 2010, then definitely the blue door.

If you go through the blue door can you also fix the mistake of going through the blue door? Would that invalidate the fixes you had applied earlier? Or can you technically walk through both doors, I'm a big fan of having cake and eating it!

Also mistakes are how you learn, I feel like if you had never made any mistakes you wouldn't learn lessons from them it could completely change your fundamental character. After all are we not just the sum of our experiences?

I thought the doors were having a conversation

Blue door because time is more valuable than money

I'm happy with how my life turned out for the most part. Red door to make the rest of it more fun and less stressful

Red. My mistakes didn't kill anyone(on purpose anyway).

Red definitely.

Red, it'll take longer than whatever time they send me back to to fix all that

I could fix many peoples problems with the red door

Fuck it, I'll just stay outside and gripe.

What's behind the green door?

I'm fine with most of my mistakes so I'm going through the red door.

If I fixed all my mistakes in the past, me would not be me. So the choice is really between my death and 10 mil. I will leave to to the reader to guess which one I choose. You have two attempts.

I'm sure I've made plenty of mistakes, but I'm happy enough with where my life is now. Red door it is.
