Would you rather meet your future self from 5 minutes in the future or your past self from 5 minutes in the past

Fascinating

but turns into a trick question

Wtf is even 5 minutes, I'd rather meet my past self back when I found out about Bitcoin and the price was 350 $.

Which one

depends on what im doing at the current time, would i be able to change what my past self does?

Yes

 

[Deleted member 18544]

Yes

then i would pick past if i did something that i know i could've done better

Doesn't meeting yourself cause a time paradox leading to the destruction of the Universe and stuff? At least according to the sci-fi time traveling stuff I watch.

 

[OldRooster]

Too many unknowns to answer.Like how far in the past or future are we talking about?
It would take more than 5 minutes to convince my past self that I was legit, so that conversation would be pointless. Presumably my future self would know that I was going to talk with him and would be prepared so that seems like the better choice.

Which one

5 minutes in the past. I could use this to save myself from dying from a freak accident.

9 replies meanwhile @ReadBooksEveryday is receding at the thought of not being able to come up with banger threads anymore

Take note, this is what’s hot on .org.

Can I do this multiple times or is it just a one time thing?

Obviously the future one because I would benefit from it whereas a different version of me would be benefitting from the other option.

 

[Bojack]

Neither; i need to go way further back to like 2008 to make any meaningful changes.

Neither; i need to go way further back to like 2008 to make any meaningful changes.

it’s only for 5 minutes though lol

 

[FastBananaCEO]

both past me from 5 min ago and future me in 5 min are rotting on a computer so it wouldn't matter
