Poll: You've been given a one time use do-over button. Do you use it?

[martyrdrebel27]

Someone very mysterious looking walks up to you and hands you a box with a button. He tells you that whatever moment in your life you're thinking of when you press it, you instantly go back to that moment to try again. You'd retain all your memories from the future that hasn't happened, but your body would return to it's previous state.

Would you use the button, risking the person you are now to possibly be someone different?

EDIT: EDIT: Poll fixed.

only one poll and i would hide it and use it later

 

[Vampire cat]

Kinda few options I could only see a "Yes, to correct a mistake"...

But yes I would, especially if I retained all my memories and experience.

 

[LarenzoAOG]

I would first ask a certain attractive lady friend whether she is as interested in me as I am in her, should she no I would use it and just be friends with her.

 

[crudus]

I would use it in a heart beat. I won't elaborate what it is, but it would make me much happier and more successful! It is a bonus if I retain all my knowledge.

 

[Bassman_2]

I would first disassemble it and find a way to create more of it.

Then I would use it. I keep all my memories so my personality, morals, and intelligence, the only important parts of me, will be intact.

 

[Vet2501]

Not yet, I sit my finals next week and want to see it goes. If it all goes tits up then yes.

 

[SpaceGnome]

yes to correct me using it! TIME PARADOX! free restart.

 

[Zeekar]

I make a personal goal to never regret anything. Consequences, good or bad, are what make us who we are (genetics not included). I treasure who I am too much to risk even a single change that could alter that.

More importantly, the paths we walk are paved with the consequences of our actions (and the lessons we learn from them), and changing any one of them could make the difference between straying or staying.

I consciously chose mine. I wouldn't consciously choose to change it.

 

[Tourmeta]

Does it need to immediately? I see the potential for doing something and then seeing if I need to use it, would be pretty brave with a reset button.

 

[emeraldrafael]

We'll i'd probably make myself richer if I wanted to through betting, though I dont know. It would be nice to save my girlfriend and save me from the year and a half of depression and subsequent dating and breaking up and dating and breaking up.

Though that made me a better person and much stronger for it, so I dont know.

free restart of all existance... hope you're okay with waiting around a few billion years while reality catches back up.

Right now I would use it to do yesterday's horrible Leaving Cerficate Maths paper again. Or maybe go back a few months before the Leaving Certificate and study properly for it.

"You'd retain all your memories from the future that hasn't happened, but your body would return to it's previous state."

I would just study everything, then when I am old I would use it to go back to when I was a small child and take over the world.

 

[Iconsting]

Change the time stream.

Fuck the future.

 

[JoJo]

No, for while I have made a number of mistakes in my life they were all small ones which built up so there's no one defining moment I can think of that would make that much difference by changing.

 

[Living Contradiction]

Yes, to prevent the demise of someone I held very dear.

Risk? Bah. Risk is everywhere and this someone would be worth saving.

 

[Redingold]

I've just finished a bunch of exams (well, except for maths, and that's easy), and I really don't want to have to sit through them again. I don't think there are any things I really want to do differently. So no, I'll pass.

 

[deathninja]

Definitely, when I was a child I had a psych review as it was suspected I was aspergers. The verdict was that I probably was, but my parents decided not to secure a diagnosis in case I didn't need it.

I did, big time. I only just got through 6th form without support, my grades were dragged so low from my predicted that I couldn't get into most uni courses, I got on one, without any support had a full-on mental breakdown, got diagnosed, but it was too late to salvage my course and I had to leave.

Fast forward several years, I'm doing well, and got onto a masters after I learned to cope, and I hardly need the support. But I'm so far behind in terms of work experience, time and course fees that I doubt that I'll ever manage to get a job. No company will hire a 27 year old straight out of Uni, with a non-physical disability.

Even now I wish I could go back, and play up a bit so I got a childhood diagnosis and support from the start.
