A person comes up to you and says, "I can reverse time for just $1 per day." Do you take their offer? How far back do you go? (lemmy.world)

i.e. pay $5 to go back 5 days.

The time travel is permanent and one-way.

Edit: this is a one time offer and your budget is however much liquid cash you have right now. Cards are accepted, though.

For non-Americans, feel free to convert $1 USD to your currency

I'd say this is incredibly cheap. That's $3,650 per decade. So if you're say 70 and you want to go back to your first day of high school (15yo for the sake of argument), that's a hair over $20k to basically live your entire life over.

Of course the question is, do you de-age as you go back? Or does the 70yo stay a 70yo just 55 years ago? If you don't de-age, then the whole thing is much less useful- it's basically an opportunity to undo one or two mistakes.
