Yes you could do that multiple times, nice idea.

Ha ha. Me and my friend used to do this to his mom all the time. Except we'd face the couch away from the tv, or switch the end table with the kitchen table. Since she lived alone and didn't have anyone to help switch it back, we'd always have to go back to fix it. But she usually dealt with it for a day or two. It was good times, and she has a good sense of humor.

You really want to screw with people try this.

Get a bunch of lawn gnomes, leave them in one spot for 3 weeks, then every night move them an inch closer to your neighbors yard. When they are amassed on the property line give them weapons.

I wish could take credit for that idea.

I'm not sure I'd be able to change all that much with words. It would be much easier if it was a "relive everything since" scenario, but hey. Not sure that there's much I'd tell my past selves.. maybe to get off my butts and start living out in the real world would be the biggest.

I'm far more interested in what a future self would tell me, but I may be biased seeing as I'm my future selfs' past self. I'll ponder this and act on the advice I figure I'd be given... *ponders*. This could probably be an awesome meditation technique or something.

Why would you mess with your past self? That's only going to slowly chip away at your sanity. Just because you can only travel to within a period of time that you've existed doesn't mean you can only interact with yourself.

"Why would you mess with your past self?"

For science
For fun.

No, because everything you did to mess with yourself would become one of your memories and it would just keep negatively affecting you. If you stole your past-self's bike, you would grow a memory of how devastated you were when your bike got stolen. To your past-self, it's one moment in time, for you it builds up into years' worth of self-imposed torment.

If we're going by the single-timeline scenario, as soon as I found out, I'd laugh my fucking head off. And I'd presumably find less-traumatic ways to mess with myself after I realized that it was I who stole my bike. And I'd give my bike back.

That is hilarious! I think I'd have to try that too now that I've heard the idea. I think I could have some fun. I'd go back to when I was a spitfire of a 10-year-old tomboy and get my younger self to kick my ass and tell me to smarten up.
Oh! And when I have free time, I could go back and help myself complete tasks on deadline in times when I had too much to do. I could also impart some very useful lessons learned... both from present to past self, and the other way around too.

Anyone else feel like they used to be smarter?

I'd probably warn myself against taking English 103 with the crappy professor, and tell myself to go for Dr. B.

Oh! And I'd keep myself from missing the entire run of Brotherhood 2.0, and get myself into LRR from the beginning, because season 1 is a complete mystery to me.

On that note, any other Nerdfighters in the forum, or is it just me?

I'd probably try to get my younger self to practice drawing, learn an intsrument and another language. Since it's easier when your younger, and I would know them by today.

I'd go back to around my 13 year old self, turn off my radio (REALLY IMPORTANT), and have a long talk about something. Learn me some stuff.

I'd give my young self one of my basses and tell me to learn to play, and say that if i didn't i'd be back to kick some ass. That way i'd be way more awesome at it now.

Go back to the day I was born. Buy google/other companies that were cheap then and expensive now stocks. Also buy any games I wish I had but are rare now. Final Fantasy III etc. Tell my fifth grade self that not every one hates him and he should give them a chance before he shuts them out. Give him all my pokemon and yu-gi-oh cards so he can get some more use out of them while they are still relevant.

This of course goes against all of my beliefs abut time travel, but whatever.

That reminds me of number 7 on the list (and yes I'm father time there too).
