If you choose to be reborn, you will not have magic powers, but you will unlock a status window and a skill tree that you can use to give yourself new skills and abilities and improve your physical characteristics.
You’ll get the same thing if you choose to be reincarnated, however, magic will be a factor. And the age of the world will be somewhere like 50-ish years before the full rollout of the industrial revolution, technology-wise. (minor clarification, you keep your current knowledge either way)
However, you will not be the hero or the chosen one. You’re just going to be a person with a perk.
My memory is soo bad that I’d probably forget all the useful stuff and remember things like how many dimples are on a golf ball or how to do a Rubiks cube as a baby.
I’d probably take the magic option.Magic no question
So new game in magic world or new game + in normal world?
Do I have to be the chosen one in new game +? I’d do that if I don’t have the added responsibility of saving the world.
If you’re of a certain age, you’d STILL have to save the world.
Imagine you go back in time, to the year your born. You can’t even speak yet, but you know 9/11 is coming.
If you try to warn others, they won’t believe you. But after it happens, they’d blame you. You’re the guy who knew 4 planes would be hijacked on one random tuesday.
Because thats what 9/11 was before the planes hit. Just another random tuesday. Very calm. Nice pleasant weather. If you watch what the today show host says at 8am, he says “It’s Tuesday morning, the sun is shining, and it’s a nice quiet morning. Maybe a bit too quiet.”
Oh believe me. That’s about to dramatically change!
But how would you know that on Sept 9th 2001?
So now you have a choice. Let thousands die on the day, and hundreds of thousands develop conditions related to the attacks. Ranging anywhere from mild, to lethal. Everything from a persistant cough, to aggressive cancer.
But in choosing to save them, you most certainly go to max security federal prison.
Or, you can pretend to be shocked when 9/11 happens. Knowing you let hundreds of thousands suffer.
Your choice.
You did this wrong. I would spend the time using the info I know to get massively rich very early and connect with people who can do something, and start working that front
Second one
Reborn as myself. Once my vocal chords develop people will be amazed at the conversations they can have with a baby.
And before that, your parents will be amazed that you didn’t need potty training 😅
What if I already need potty training?
Reborn. I wanna see my mom again.
Ok, this one is too wholesome for me to make a dark joke about.
It would be the best, man. I miss her. I could do a lot of stuff differently, sure, but mostly I would just like to spend some time with her. She was awesome.

Going to a world of magic sounds pretty sweet, but only if I can remember that I once lived in a world without it. Otherwise, I’m just a schmuck in the only world I’ve ever known, and magic wont be any more fascinating than technology is today.
The current world with knowledge would be more advantageous than a magic world from scratch.
@Rhynoplaz @bizarroland what greater magic than kindness and compassion? We have that here, you have that power, here, now.
Fireballs.
Kindness and compassion are great and all, but Fireballs are MUCH greater.
@Rhynoplaz <3
Neither. I’ll take absolute absence
A crucial part of this is that there is an afterlife, so if there is some sort of judgment for you, whether beneficent or maleficent, that would be your alternative option.
Can I choose to just die?
shoots kibblebits
BANG!
…wait, did he say something?
🥰
Reborn as myself with my knowledge.
Youth is wasted on the young.
Young people don’t listen to old people. But, if the old person is myself, then I’ll listen… when I’m young again.
Yeah, this question… like, this isn’t even a question. So much stuff I would re-do…

Reborn, any day. I’m quite happy with my life, but this and being a multimillionaire through some minor investments in bitcoin, and a stat screen to minmax? 11/10
I think it’s reborn current time, not in the past
No, it’s New Game+. You would start over back on the day that you were born.
Your superpower in this case would be your ability to remember events that have happened over the course of your life and potentially profit from them or to change their outcome, that and the status board and its ability to upgrade yourself or to give yourself perks in the process over the course of your life.
Myself with knowledge no question future knowledge and ability to make different choices way too valuable, even if i had no skill tree at all.
I have quite the skill tree that I’m too old and broken to make use of.
Reborn with my knowledge of skateboarding? Yes please.
The timeline is changed. Skateboards are now square wheeled. You either know how to make it roll, or you hurt yourself.
Option 2. Much easier to get set for life.
Besides, magic already exists. We just know how it works now.
Here’s some magic.
The president is a pedophile and a rapist. Everybody knows. He’s starting wars as a distraction from his blatantly obvious sex crimes.
The magic is, how the fuck is he getting away with all this bullshit, while Nixon had to resign over a planted recording device?
It’s MAGIC!!!
My fellow lemmite, you gotta find a way to take a break. That’s the equivalent of someone rolling up to a group of folks at the mall and ranting about politics.
While totally understandable that you’re stressed over it, the way you did it and the way you phrased it all is worrying. For real, no sarcasm, no snark, it makes me concerned that you’re on the edge of a breakdown. You have anyone irl that can help you find some outlet? Maybe a good game night with friends, whatever sport you might play? You can’t hold onto that kind of anger and stay healthy, physically. Like, the stress you must be feeling will harm your body.
I’m not even a people person, and I don’t know you, but if you were my neighbor I’d want to hug your neck and tell you that you’re not alone, that maybe we should grab some nice iced tea and sit a spell, give you a chance to let it all out to someone that’ll really listen.
Take care of yourself, okay? It’s an ugly world, but if you let it grind you down much more, it’ll just get uglier.
Settle down.
