Do you know if 4k80 is complete yet? Their website suggests it might not be

He really is on course for a heart attack

Sure. When did you first hear about it, and that it was caused by burning fossil fuels?

Also Russian fossil fuels

Workers co-op is a good model for worker rewarding structures

Have you any ideas how enshittification can be prevented without preventing Slashdot and Reddit? Like you can't make a non commercial rule without making a more barren internet. Maybe the best you could do is get a Lemmy-like thing up and open source before Reddit could emerge

I don't think many of us are significant enough to change anything, at least until we time travel with intent to make enough money to fix some of the problems of now

Tape is just as susceptible to magnets, though it is a more stable medium. It's not like they'll be exposed to significant magnetic fields though

Monkey paw is supposed to suck, not be instant death

Clear outcome? If red is "become undocumented child in 2023" blue can't be simple.

Blue would have you watching over your shoulder for who the money was taken from, or the money would be taken off you as evidence of crime, since no one has millions from nowhere, and it'll be very hard to hide

More than 10M gives you the ability to change popular opinions, spur good industries, kill bad business

Enough more lets you hire people who can help spend the money effectively

You could run away, roll the dice on the foster system

Taking them in the best order will be hard since the blue pill or its 10M would be left in the old timeline - or if there's only one timeline, left in the lost future

You could take the blue pill and live it up for however long, try not to die suddenly, then take the red pill. That sounds risky to me

WYR have $10M or be a 6 year old undocumented orphan, unrecognised by everyone you knew

It's clearly go back in time

The choice is

1. $10M cash right now; or
2. Practically infinite money, but you have to relive childhood

Back when I was 6, in 1983, my uncle who worked in the oil industry told me about global warming.

I could totally have been a real radical environmentalist, but I was 6.

A second time around that talk would have an impact, and with some foresight for the next 40 years. I think no one would be surprised if I devoted everything to fixing global warming - they might be surprised at my success in the stock market.

You'll want to be pretty old to get in before some of those inventions.

Selling thousands at a time as you get closer to the peak.

It must be time travel or it's a bad deal - become 6, also orphan or effective orphan, also undocumented, become a missing person in your old self

If that was the deal, the millions side would have conditions like it's stolen money and the mob know who has it

And where's the fun in any of that?

I feel like at 6 you're not going to be tripped up by teenage relationships like you would landing in a hormone flooded/different brain state in your most important social years

It sounds like a plan for having no friends from school

It would be so creepy trying for the same partner. So much of relationship building is learning about each other and you'll never be surprised by their side of those conversations
