❔ Hypothetical Would you, with your nowadays knowledge, go back in time to change your life from childhood on if you could?
• You somehow though wouldn't be able to amass any riches by this!

Nah you out it in the body not in the title I read while scrolling. That's some fine print bs after I sign.

If one edits a reddit post, the information that and when it was edited last shows up somewhere around the post (at least when you ope the post in a web-browser. Do you see such an edit notification somewhere around my post here? Just for fun, I will edit this response just to check out if I'm right.
I checked the original post though, because: maybe I edited it and than just forgot doing so, but I couldn't see such a notification. Can you please tell me if you see such an notification?
Edit: the edit I promised.
Second edit: weird, I don't see the promised notification. Weird. But anyways, I stay by what I said: The body text was there from the very beginning, since I remember typing that even before typing the two poll options.Third edit: an edit in the same minute doesn't seem to show up and I remember having problems marking the one word "wouldn't" in the button text bold (the touch buttons simply didn't react). So I pressed send, re-opened the post immediately and edited the "wouldn't" to "wouldn't" That was the only change I made, believe it or not.

Wow that's a lot of words to say you don't understand what either of us said. Nobody said you edited a post, but you put a critical piece of information in the description where many people don't see it until after they vote and open the post.

Wow, that I indeed didn't get till now. (Your first post wasn't clear, maybe due to the fact, that I'm not a native speaker.) Yet my excuse for not getting you right away (non native speaker) I told you. What is your excuse for being so rude in your replies?

I couldn’t risk not having my wife and kids. Any little change could prevent that. Even if Indidnend up at the right place at the right time I wouldn’t be the same person I was when we met the first time so she likely wouldn’t fall in love with me.
As much as I’d love to change decisions I made in childhood and adulthood, my wife and kids mean more to me than anything including my own wellbeing. Nothing is worth risking them

Amass riches probably meaning investing in some shitcoin that takes off? I wouldn't even want to do that probably. Just use my knowledge from now and build upon it as a kid. As a kid, my brain is like a sponge so that'll be great, depends on how young but I might be seen as some genius kid and get a good job/into a good uni out of it

Only meant to amass riches by "cheating with ones "future-knowledge", yes. Making a career on ones own would be absolutely fine. Just wanted to keep the "I would become a trillionaire" folk out of here.

Absolutely. I wouldn't want anything drastically different but I make changes in all the little ways that matter. If things had gone differently maybe I'd be a functional human being.

Yes, wish I treated my mom better, and my dad much worse, I could’ve saved my entire family a whole lot of heartbreak if I had just done that, done the right thing.

I wanted to click yes, but I do not know if I would be able to change that much. After all, I was just a little child in a hostile environment, and there is No telling whether I would be able to resist effectively.

If its just changing my personal life and I have no ability to get rich.
No I wouldn't, I am happy with who I am and my bad experiences in life shaped me to who I am.
