What one event would you change about your past?

[BDRick]

You get the chance to change one event in your past time, what would it be? Negating the butterfly effect as well as the fact that things will snowball from it..

Oh I’m sorry, ngl redheads are the most likely to cause hell amongst good people like us 👍

[Jove79]

Any event? Like any any any thing? One morning I drove my dog to the vet, on the way there I was t-boned by a red light runner. Now 5 years later, still badly injured. And this will be a life time of pain. Suffered a severe spine injury.


My dog was suffering, but I still ask, why did I drive that morning.

[BDRick]

Well, it’s less why you drive as much as why did that individual run the light. I hope he was punished to the full extent of the law

[Jove79]

Seconds before impact, I looked to my left and seen her face down. As if she was texting. She looked up quickly and her jaw was on her lap. Cops showed up and did absolutely nothing. I got a lot of money out of it though, she was on her parents policy, some rich people from FL.. so at the end of the day I’m happy I still have life savings, for my future. But I suffer every single day, and it’s a constant reminder of that day

[BDRick]

I’m glad you’re alive; that makes it all .. better that than anything else.
At least, however, you got something out of it, though not enough

[Jove79]

Thank you 🙏 , my attorney told me a bunch of story’s how people end up in wheelchairs, with hundreds of thousands of dollars in medical bills, and the person at fault had no insurance or a $15k policy

Plus, she swerved to avoid me, hitting my quarter panel instead of the door.. so yeah my life could have been ended if she rammed my door, or I would’ve suffered far worse injuries.

I’ll say this bro, I’ll rather not have a dime to my name and be pain free, than to have a good chunk of money in pain.

[HawkPerception]

Shit man. Hearing stories like this genuinely make me fearful to get on the road. Shit is completely out of your control all the time. Can't control others stupidity.

Glad you got the money out of it man. Really hope you can enjoy your life to the extent that you can.

[Melissa6453]

Huh really

[exitseven]

I would have been born with normal color vision. I never would have lost my Air Force scholarship, i would have graduated in four years instead of 20 and I would have been a pilot and maybe an astronaut.

[BDRick]

Damn, God bless; I’m sorry for all that

[exitseven]

it totally derailed my life.

[exitseven]

Thanks for the MHO

[NordicInScandinavia]

I'd tell my mother as soon as I was touched inappropriately by her friend and my best friends dad.

Then I'd not had to deal with a year of sexual abuse as a child which lead me towards a decade of self destructive behaviour.

[BDRick]

I'm sorry

[Justneedtokno]

Going to go see my mother for the last time not knowing it was going to be the last time

[BDRick]

This is some regular Peter Quill shit right here.. or as the general population knows him as, Star Lord.
.. anyway I'm sorry, man.

[Justneedtokno]

Yeah, definitely neurotic but then teaches you to do what you can and to not let it hold you back. Also, follow your first mind

[TheSpaceGnome]

If I were able to time travel to change the past, either a timeline would branch, thus the change would only impact an alternate version of me, or changing the past would change my future, which would mean I didn't time travel to the past, which would mean I didn't change my future, which would mean I did travel the past, and so on in an unfathomable grandfather paradox.

Either way I'd not benefit, so there is no point.

[OneViewpoint]

I try to not allow myself to get trapped in the hall of mirrors that is woulda, could've, shoulda. It's a fools game. Own your decisions and move forward.

Learn from yesterday. Stay rooted in today. Plan for tomorrow. Manage the risks.

[thegreenyogi]

If I could I would have changed my father's fate. So surviving cancer.

[BDRick]

Aw this is where I wish I had to ability to choose best answer because it’s sad & touching. My condolences

[thegreenyogi]

Thank you!!

[BDRick]

I do hope all else is going well with you though

[thegreenyogi]

It is thank you!! My father passed 8 years ago and I have learnt to survive without him.

[BDRick]

But he will always be there watching over you from heaven

[Simslover92]

If I changed anything about my past then I wouldn't be the person I am today. So I wouldn't change anything.

[PeachyPie93]

Got myself help for my anxiety at a young age.. It would have changed my life completely and I don't think I would have ended up where I have now.

[Singhaeshwaryakumar]

Wanted my father to stay alive and see his kids grow and see all the rituals of life like there kids gating married and jobs.

[Nikki1989]

I wouldn't have put so much trust in men at such a young age. I did, and it almost cost me my life, but hey, you live and learn.

[SteveSmith1985]

I would never have tried cocaine when I was 20.

[serious]

Quite a lot of things to be honest if I had a chance.

[AviatorTom]

I would change nothing about my past. It has made me who I am.

[Anonymous]

getting new parents sooner instead of very abusive parents

[MannMitAntworten]

I would avoid getting involved with the redhead.

[BDRick]

Redheads are hot though

[MannMitAntworten]

I am speaking about a specific redhead. It is why I said, “the redhead” and not redheads in general. That specific redhead turned out to be hell on earth. I am fairly certain that Devil is her name.

[robocop666]

I should have dropped out of school and done an apprentice. Hindsight is always 20/20.

[BDRick]

Straight up truth. I wish I didn’t get all the degrees in college I got lol #pointless

[Anonymous]

Nothing because that's what God planned

[BDRick]

[Anonymous]

Just one thing is not enough, i'd like to change several things.

[Godihateyou]

I would have strangled my uncle sooner.

[jamesgoldman]

I'd have proposed

[BDRick]

And I would’ve said yes if you did

[Massageman]

Sell the AOL.

[BDRick]

What?

[Massageman]

It was a stock from years ago, back in the dark ages of computers.

[BDRick]

Thank you I didn’t know that

[Massageman]

It peaked and then fell even faster. I missed that one.

[BDRick]

Exactly lol I was on that train that was taken for a fun DSL ride lol

[Massageman]

This was back in the day when we had a 56K line to the house. Our first kid went to college, stayed in a Dorn and got the "latest thing"- - - - a ONE MEG line to her dorm. Answers popped up almost before you finished typing, at the time. Of course, content programmers- and computer makers- found a way to add more detailed video, better music clips, multi-channel processing, and essentially use up all that extra speed-width, so what was really gained? I used to be a Computer Operator on a remote site that had a (massive at the time) 14" RAM aluminum disc the size of a small stove that held 40 MEGABITS, so about 4.44 Meg characters since each needed 8 bits plus a check bit, 9 total per character. Now, of course, they have thumb drives in the GIG range, so - - -
