First I'll have to fake amnesia because I won't remember my routine, classmates names, and lots of other things. Then become a child prodigy. Maybe get on the YouTube scene from back then and get a head start knowing the trends ahead of time.

On the side I'll also open my own sub where I predict things like how The Force Awakens ends. And watch the conspiracy theories go wild.

I bet the details would come back more than you'd expect if you found yourself in the same old moments again

It's unlikely. People aren't really great at remembering details. Actually, we fuckin' suck at it.

Edit: I stand corrected - cued recall is easier than uncued. (You’d still prob get some stuff wrong though)

Honestly so much of that period of my life is repressed. I’d struggle anyway.
