Simple question. If you got to choose, would you rewind your life to redo it, correct your mistakes, take another path or whatever, or fast forward it directly to your funeral?

For me, as much as I'd like to go, I did take some "medicine" that ruined me physically. It's too tempting to go back. And just not take it. See how it goes.

I think I would still be suicidal but I'd pick "rewind" so as to change lots of past mistakes and if nothing works, well, I guess ctb will be an option again lol.

That's me on rewind as well, if there was a chance to go back in time I would, though id have to live the same suffering growing up all over again.

Would also depend on who we are going back, I would love to go back as who I am now im smarter and I know more about myself than I did before.

I agree. I would have to know what I know now, otherwise I would probably make the same mistakes all over again.

It would literally be impossible to use the rewind button and then do anything differently. Think about it.

Interesting question. My first thought was rewind. But then if it means growing up in the same situation that I did, it would be fast forward. It was like I was held captive as a young child with no choice but to endure my abusive captors until I could get away. So I think I would go ahead and fast forward instead of risking reliving any of that.

You're right. But I was thinking, when I posted (and answered) the question, that one condition had to be true, and that is: that I remain at this level of awareness.

My mistake I didn't emphasize that.

Awareness has nothing to do with it, this is pure physics.

I would certainly fast forward straight to the grave. I think in my situation most of my problems are completely out of my control. If I fast forwarded back I would just end up in reliving the same misery over again.

I'm very likely to screw up a rewind and either not change anything by making the same mistakes or somehow make things even worse. I'd rather go forward because I'm curious as to what the future's gonna be like plus I wouldn't have to wait to find more media to consume.

Fast forward 100% (unless there was a way to change things I'd normally have no control over).

OP probably didn't come to the Offtopic section (which is "[for letting] off steam") for physics, you know, @GenesAndEnvironment? Jeez.

Anyways, @UseItOrLoseIt, I'd probably rewind to the onset of my depression and then kill myself shortly thereafter. Until then, I was beset with challenges but able to overcome them; since then, I cannot overcome anything (as well as all the stuff that comes with depression-suicide, e.g., pain, anhedonia). It would have been nice to die having had a relatively nice, short life.

Lol, true. I even made a similar thread myself three months ago, choosing to ignore the "physics" in the process! :pfff:

I am the mistake - my parents should have used a condom - so fast-forward would be ideal, lol.
