Log on to BBS, play LORD and post to forums with local users, maybe chat a bit. Fire up sirdoom, waste a few bozos with a BFG. Drive to my buddies house maybe smoke some weed…
Yes, this is what people did back then

Not even buying Apple will net you any short term money.
Better to bet on the superbowl (or whatever sports knowledge you possess).

It’s not about money, it’s about altering reality.

They would just pick another dumb name, like Stample or Croakle and we’d be stuck Croaking things

The first question is what kind of time am I in? Is it a ‘We are all going to die and I need to fix it’ or a ‘I need to grow as a person to get out’. If it’s the first one then I need to figure out when Donald Trump and Jeffery Epstein are both going to be one of his flights to Epstein’s island and find a way to blow up the plane. If it’s the second one I guess do the same thing as that’s got to be good karma.

I have thought about this over the years. If I am in a loop, it’s “which PhD am I doing this lifetime?” or “so I guess I am going to be the world’s best cabinetmaker this round.”

I buy relevant stocks to make me rich and revel in the fact that there is no internet again. I am 68 and have been there and done that already.

Yeah, anyone who answers with anything besides “invest in the tech companies you know will get huge, then get into bitcoin early and ride it all the way to $100k each” is going to fail to thrive.

Am I a grown adult that wakes up in a foster care home and the child that was there previously is gone?
Do I have to spend the rest of my life without an identity, or clinging to the “delusion” that I was this child that mysteriously disappeared?Am I a child with 40 years of life experience?
Not long after, When I was 14, my first consensual sexual experience involved an 18-year-old. We got caught, and folks widely regard/regarded her as being inappropriate/in the wrong. Huh. First girlfriend, high school dances/romances. College. Jesus - every relationship basically forever.
If I proceed down the same path, does that mean I’m the creep now?remon@ani.social 1 day ago
Get my SNES or Gameboy and play some Zelda.

Here’s your new Motorola StarTAC with 120 anytime minutes and double-sized battery. That’ll be $600. Do you want to play with your Discover card?

Since I am an absolute idiot who doesn’t know what happened back then in order to rake in money off of things like betting ( either legal or illegally ), probably just ( assuming I have 'em ) listen to CDs on my CD player and hop on computer and hope I have any good games.
Dorkyd68@lemmy.world 18 hours ago
There were cell phones in 1995. Though vastly different from today still widely used.
JcbAzPx@lemmy.world 16 hours ago
Also, wireless internet connected devices existed, though the wifi standard was still two years off and they definitely weren’t widely used.

Find a job doing almost anything and being able to afford all of this is the best time traveling gift.
Also get a little house on that salary, oh if only.

With… Magazines? Shudder
jj4211@lemmy.world 6 hours ago
Specifically, the magazines in the back of your older cousins closet they think they hid.
But you can get fancy, you visit your cousin overnight, who doesn’t have a spare bedroom so you just have to sleep on his couch in front of the TV that has just all of the channels on satellite… Especially those channels

Turn on my computer and play some Command and Conquer or if it’s weekday, get up and prep for school.

I would make sure the family car accident don’t happen that year in October. Next thing would be to grow up and actually try to fix the climate problem so we reach the goal of 0 degree higher temperature on average. Imagine having 30 extra years to spare for this task. Telling how much damage it already have done and we have enough evidence that it is critical to start doing it now.
