I'd go back a bit over a decade and make a lot better decisions.
1 day. Go back to where he approached me. Kill him before he can make the offer.
Goodbye space-time.
Does time reverse for me too? Do I remember? Do I get younger?
10 years back. Back to high-school when I would hang out with my friends at the bus stop and at lunch and after school.
Ten years spent watching what already happened, and then you're a 35 yr old freshman.
immediately thinks of the alternate ending to The Butterfly Effect ๐ค
Less than a month ago when I hadn't yet accidentally deleted several days of vacation photos. Other than that, my life tended to get better over time, no way am I travelling back to a time when it was worse.

Do I get to choose which day gets reversed? Can I make October 14, 1066 go backwards and see what happens?
Nah thanks, I'm good.
Pretty difficult to imagine doing this honestly. Do I retain the memories of what I'm reversing? Or is it just a rewind? Because if I don't retain the memories then it's a bit pointless, but if I do I think I'd have a hard time reliving things. For instance I would never go back far enough to erase my children, but my youngest was born 2 weeks before COVID. Regardless of any get rich quick scheme I could think of, I am really not certain I'd want to knowingly live through that again.
I wouldn't go further back than the birth of my daughter, because there's no way I'd take the chance to not have her in my life, no matter what I might wish to change from before that. That said, I'd like to change a few things since, so I'd probably do that.
All these people spending years living in reverse time. I don't know.
There is a lot that I don't think I'd enjoy backwards. But maybe if it's a whole perspective shift I wouldn't notice the difference. Just watching my life events with an "oh yeah, that happened too"
Maybe give the person like a dime after I break a few things just to wig out on reverse entropy, if I can.
I have more than enough to get to 2010, which is as far back as I can go (so I don't erase my son). I have a LOT of things to do differently in that time...
