A person comes up to you and says, "I can reverse time for just $1 per day." Do you take their offer? How far back do you go? - eviltoast

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

    2 days. I’ll memorize the Powerball winning numbers to win something like $500M, since I know there were no other winners.

          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.
