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?
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 go back to around the time my daughter started sleeping through the night. Don't want to risk a reality where my kids don't exist. I'd tell my friend the cancer is coming back, when it's still early enough to do something.
Don't really know what else I'd do. Don't really care. Be nice to live through those years again without changing much else to be totally honest
That's definitely a hard line in this thought experiment for me: the furthest I could possibly go back would be to the day my youngest was born.
I can't intentionally will one of my kids out of existence. And I don't have any enjoyment fantasizing about if I could at any rate.
You should watch the movie About Time, the guy goes back and when he gets to his present again he has a different kid because the sperm is basically random and you can't choose which one makes it. Harrowing stuff.
