i.e. pay $5 to go back 5 days.
The time travel is permanent and one-way.
Edit: this is a one time offer and your budget is however much liquid cash you have right now. Cards are accepted, though.
For non-Americans, feel free to convert $1 USD to your currency
$1/day is pretty cheap. I’ve been alive around 12k days. For less than the price of a car, I can erase my own existence. Sounds like a bargain to me!
I think I snorted laughing so hard. 🤣
Rough question for a guy who just lost his wife at 35. I’d empty my account to be able to have the time over.

Thanks buddy. Right back at you.
2 days. I’ll memorize the Powerball winning numbers to win something like $500M, since I know there were no other winners.
And then spend the $500M to go back 500.000.000 days
That’s how they get you.
Time travel is a one time offer
I’m sure the time travelling service provider could make an exception for 500.000.000 USD.
Nah nah, their rules are explicit and their pockets are full. They can, after all, also time travel.
Will they remember I was here before if I’ve looped back around?
Hmmmm, that’s a good question. If they’re wearing a tin foil hat they may be immune to your time anomaly shenanigans so I would be careful about that.
Also, maybe don’t tell them you just won the Powerball.
Yea that’s true
With the travel being so cheap, unless their profit margins are really small, they could probably toss me back to Pangea for the cost of a lime
Don’t want them to catch on to any shenanigans. I’ll just abuse my wealth like a regular billionaire
Seems to work out for them so I don’t see why not!
Also then you can eat the rich 5 days ago.
That’s pretty smart. Even jumping to the one before the billion dollar win isn’t that far back, and even if time changes the chance of splitting the winnings is low.
Surely they’ll butterfly effect into different numbers after you buy the ticket?
They’re offering $1 per day? That’s $1 for every 24 hours you go back, which is around $0.04 per hour, which can be broken down even further to around $0.0007 per minute.
I’d give them 1 penny to go back 15 minutes in time, find a penny on the ground, then find them again to go back the same 15 minutes in time over and over until I can figure out how to kidnap them in 15 minutes.
After I successfully kidnap them, I will go on a bank heist and keep the time person near me so I can keep trying to rob a bank until I do so successfully. Then because they’re an accessory to the crime, I can blackmail them to let me rewind time for free at any time I wish so I can become a crime lord, otherwise I’ll give them to the police and let them know he can time-travel.
EDIT: Just saw OP’s one-time offer clause, so I am assuming this means the time person retains their memory.
I won’t immediately take them up on their offer - instead, I would take them out on a date or five first. Get to know them a bit better; where they lived growing up, how they grew up, how old they are - that kind of stuff.
Then I would figure out how much money I can use to go back in time to my youngest point of life that also meets their youngest point in my same lifetime, and I’ll track them down from all the details they gave me while they were pegging me. I’ll become best friends with them, and convince them that we could be using their powers to become the dopest crime lords in history.
This is the worst way to use time travel to get rich i have entry l ever heard
It’s not about the money here man - it’s about the power. The main squeeze here is becoming a crime lord, not getting rich.
do they still get to peg you after becoming best friends?
Yes - but there’s a non-zero chance one or both of us would be underage, so we’ll be chaste until 18. Then we enter the bone zone.
Keep giving them 1 penny and then tracking them down. Do this for most of your life until you are pretty young, and kidnap them. Then you can just relive your life over and over as many times as you want. I mean, sure, it’s not the ethical way to use their power…
Oooo, that’s even better - all you have to do is find them within 14 minutes at most.
A person comes up to you and says, “I can reverse time for just $1 per day.” Do you take their offer?
Obviously not, I’d have to be an idiot to fall for this con.
The one time offer is clearly a ploy to extract as much money as possible in the first transaction, as a second transaction wouldn’t happen anyway
Yeah I wound back your time, but you ended up here again
No way, that dude is definitely a Time Cop and this is a sting.
That’s entrapment.
Entrapment is tricky to prove once you start unwinding cause from effect.
But if you ask him, he has to like tell you he’s a TimeCop, right?
Go back four days and save my cat from getting run over by a car.
I’m sorry :(
Thanks.
What monster downvoted this?!
It’s always tempting to say things like, “Go back to being 20 and relive young adulthood again, avoiding all the stupid mistakes I made the first time around.” But I know I would make a whole new set of different stupid mistakes the second time.
Knowing that, I would do what others have said: only go back enough days to play a winning lottery number or make some ridiculous stock options bet and become filthy rich.
I would need to pay this dude $6205 to go back to when I was 18.
Then I’d tell my dad to invest in Apple. Put everything in it. Take out a mortgage and invest in Apple. Then I’d get a job and do the same.
Our relationship wouldn’t be ruined, and then he probably won’t die 6 years later because we’ll be able to afford the healthcare.
Yeah, I’m taking that offer.
Depends on how this works. Do I wake up in my younger body, in my previous situation? Do I still remember everything I know and remember now?
Or do I just appear as I am right now, in the past?
Because we’ve gone back, the money is kinda irrelevant in some cases. I would whoop out $3,650 or more out of my savings to go back a decade or more. I would give the rest to my family in case that timeline carries on, whatever is left is irrelevant to me since in the past I had $0. I’ll have to make it again.
Go back 15 years and buy milions of Bitcoin for a lunch money…
If you bought too much you’d impact it’s utility, Bitcoin exploded because people paid what would be millions for pizza, pot and presumably porn
yea for sure, so long as I get to take my knowledge with me.
hell, i’d go back to childhood
Take a loan, pay the guy to reverse time. Now the loan is reversed and you don’t have to pay it back.
I’d say this is incredibly cheap. That’s $3,650 per decade. So if you’re say 70 and you want to go back to your first day of high school (15yo for the sake of argument), that’s a hair over $20k to basically live your entire life over.
Of course the question is, do you de-age as you go back? Or does the 70yo stay a 70yo just 55 years ago? If you don’t de-age, then the whole thing is much less useful- it’s basically an opportunity to undo one or two mistakes.
I just killed Hitler in 1936 with a grenade on a drone. You should have seen his face when he saw it coming close.
Now you’re stuck in 1936.
Another person is getting cheered on because of his hate of the foreigners, the French, the Jews, …
Oh yeah, and you’re in post WW1 Germany, good luck!
Edit: I’d watch that movie though 🍿
What? You mean Hitler should have stayed in power and drones were not invented by Führer Himmler but are future tech?
Damn, maybe Germany would have lost the war, I wonder what kind of world would that be…
