For example if you are currently 42 you would now be 24

I would love to be 26 from a physical point of view. But at that age I was having a very difficult time in my life, so if it also involved going back to the actual time then probably no.

ToraMama · 05/10/2025 20:37

No way! I’d be 13. Fucking living through that again!

I'd be 95 😂

Me too!

Kuretake · 05/10/2025 20:39

We recycling from Reddit now I see 😂🧐

declutteringmymind · 05/10/2025 20:39

I’ll stick to 47 thanks

2025mustbebetter · 05/10/2025 20:40

Well I don't want to fast forward to 84 so I'll stay where I am thanks!

CrystalSingerFan · 05/10/2025 20:40

Hey! I'm 66. 😎

I'd definitely flip the digits if I was given the option. Then I'd say "no" when he asked me to marry him and would have had a far happier next 17 years than I did.

Yep!! Same

I'd be 95 😂

Same I think I'll stick 👍😁

longtompot · 05/10/2025 21:11

I would love to be 35, that was a good age physically, though I feel better mentally now

SouthernNights59 · 05/10/2025 21:20

Makes no difference in my case, I'll still be 66 either way. 😅

TheRozzers · 05/10/2025 21:30

I’d love to be 34 again actually, I was much less jaded back then and I had a lovely new baby.

Berlinlover · 05/10/2025 21:34

I would be 94 but I was diagnosed with metastatic cancer in 2023 so I doubt if I’ll live that long.

enok · 05/10/2025 21:38

53 yes definitely flip

SeaAndStars · 05/10/2025 21:48

I'm 61 and happy where I am.

I very much liked living the years between 16 and 61 during the period in history that I had them and am happy and lucky with how things have turned out.

GoldBalonz · 05/10/2025 21:49

I'm 39 so uhhh yeah...i'm good 😂

DramaAlpaca · 05/10/2025 21:50

I have no desire to be 16 again, thank you very much. I'm happy in my own skin at 61.

Particpatory · 05/10/2025 21:51

onyourway · 05/10/2025 20:21

I’d be 6 😀😀

Me too! Nope. Happy now and with my childhood behind me.

herbalteabag · 05/10/2025 21:51

I'd be 25 which I would like as there are things I would do differently given a second chance. But I would rather be in my 30s I think, when my children were young.

Being 52 is ok, but it has come with more stressful situations than I would like.

EmeraldDreams73 · 05/10/2025 21:52

Omg yes! I'd be 25. SO many things to go back and change.

RaininSummer · 05/10/2025 21:53

I wouldn't want to be 26 again as it might undo my children but ask me in two months and being 36 again seems quite attractive.

PaellaPan · 05/10/2025 21:54

I could go back and do all my parenting years again. I love the idea, but only if I get to keep my current level of knowledge so I can do it better next time. And get my PMDD diagnosed and treated instead of only recognizing it once I was on HRT.

EverardDeTroyes · 05/10/2025 21:55

I'd also be 6. Yes, I'd go back, do things differently.

NormasArse · 05/10/2025 21:56

I’d be in my 90s. No thanks!

1984Winston · 05/10/2025 21:56

Life was hell when I was 14 so no way
