Exited, assuming that I'm my current age as I wasn't born yet.
I'd be like biff from back to the future
I would work as hard as I can, so I can put all my money into google stocks. Then give my dividends to my parents to start a trust for their unborn child. I'll leave a note telling myself not to pass on bitcoin. Buy it as soon as I hear of it, sell it at 60k.

I reject the stock buying restriction. The OP didn't specify that.

Would definitely buy strategic stock, but would also buy remote land to hang onto.

"Back" in 1995? lol I was never there, I didn't exist. I would have no reaction.

I would take every opportunity to buy stocks in certain IT- and computer companies. I would write articles where I introduced "my" theory about the double empathy problem. Sorry, Damian Milton.

It would be difficult to have the memories of an adult in a child's body. As I would be a small child in 1995, I doubt I'd say anything.

Claiming I had been a adult man from the future would probably give me unwanted and unnecessary attention from shrinks.

I'd probably just internally scream, knowing what would be coming to me in the future. :lol:

I'd think it's a rather interesting dream (that is the feeling of waking-up and asking is this a dream....or not?)

If I woke-up to my clock-radio (set to go on at mid-morning), and the radio was playing 'Elton John's' 'Lion King' soundtrack songs back-to-back, then I might consider that actually waking-up in the year 1995 as a slight possibilty.

In 1995, I knew that both 'The Lion King' movie, and soundtrack would be remembered in future years. In recent years, I've had a few dreams of the 'Lion King' soundtrack - yet I've never seen the 'Lion King' movie.

I was correct twenty-eight years ago about how such an awesome movie, and soundtrack would stand strongly on it's own - despite all of the mass entertainment junk that has become prevalent over past decades.

that is until you leak events before they happen.
a child mentions that his mind is from the future, gets sent to therapy. if that child was able to accurately predict some major events then it would be hard to deny his claims. although instead of shrinks, scientists and journalists are more likely to pay attention to you.

I'd probably do what I do every day when I wake up. Masturbate and fall back asleep.

I'd assume I was dreaming & try to see how the dream plays out for a while. 1ce I realize that I'm not dreaming I would kill myself &/or my past self. My parents would be a lot better off without me continuing to be a burden on them for another 15 years. Plus my 1st girlfriend probably woulda been a lot better off if we never got together :shrug: I know I can not change my past so the best I can realistically do is try & learn from things & try my best to do better.

I would kill myself too, and several times over, if I have to relive 2007 - 2023. This sick s**t just isn't happening.

I would definitely not want to relive 2011. That was the year I had my non-substance addiction.

What do you mean by a "nonsubstence addiction"? :D

Addiction to...something other than an injestable substence?

Or...addiction to...abstaining from substences?

Well I have already seen too much of now, it would just suck knowing what is coming, plus having to do school all over again as I was only 5 or 6 in 1995 so that would be stressful with also knowing covid would come in 2021.
