Honestly it'd be horrifying to wake up in the 90s again with an adult awareness of where the world is heading, and that it was already headed this way because we were knee-deep in capitalism and colonialism.
I liked playing with toys though.
Agreed, it woukd kinda curse the 90s experience
But hey, maybe you'd be able to score some valuable Beanie Babies.
Some Google, Apple, and Amazon stock wouldn’t hurt, and remembering to get out in 2000 and 2007 is impotent though.
You could probably make enough during the dot com bubble to be a billionaire without working, then sink all of it in buying and shutting down NBC before they can revive Donnie’s career.
would you stop 9/11 or would you stop george bush
Frankly I'm not sure either of those things would help, the US would always find another excuse for all this death and destruction. I'd have be careful that whatever measures I took to stop Bush would become the new excuse for some atrocity we were already going to commit.
But if my 8yo ass could manage it, I'd stop Bush. Then I'd play toys. It's 2001 and Ello Creation System is about to hit the market. I won't lose all the small pieces this time. I've learned from the previous timeline.
There's a fairly strong case that stopping Bush might stop 9/11
if we stop 9/11 we lose 9/11 jokes tho :<<
but we still have the other 18% right?
