That will backfire badly and Biff becomes a drug lord.
A CD-ROM filled with advice, requirements, financial planning (nothing outrageous), a plethora of medical advice in regards to depression and ADHD, and a few books in PDF form. Also, a laundry list of “no no’s”.
700mb can go a long way in this situation. I’ve thought about it before.
I’m always amazed how little space it takes to store huge amounts of plain text. Especially when it’s compressed. That old saying “a picture is worth a thousand words” is off by a few orders of magnitude.
I remember when CDROMs were first introduced, and available on computers. The advertising blurb was, “able to fit the ENTIRE Encyclopaedia Britanica on ONE disk!” I’ll admit, I was pretty impressed, but this was before I had any idea about how information dense the written word is compared to other media.
People used to like to say a picture is worth a thousand words. You can’t have much of a picture in 5kB.
I remember being little and adding a 10mb hdd to my first PC and my dad saying “who could ever use all this space??”
You could put the full text from the entire English Wikipedia on a few DVDs
It needs to be presented as an Encarta CD-ROM or I would not even look at it.
A sampler of every psychedelic I can get my hands on with a note about what shit I’m going to be diagnosed with.
A handheld time machine
Can it be my past self from a few days ago? Because I wouldn’t want to give my young self any lottery numbers. That Past-Me would become a lazy ass with no values who never learns anything or knows what life is like. Now-Me would appreciate it much more.
A cheap fountain pen like a Lamy safari. Maybe some brightly coloured ink too.
Growing up I loved pens and my dad had some vintage Watermans he used all the time which were unquestionably Cool Pens but also really “fancy” so I wasn’t allowed to touch them, and we just didn’t know that way cheaper and less fiddly fountain pens existed because all of his came from the op shop with ink from borders and not an actual pen store. 8 year old me would’ve been estatic that not only do easier to use cheaper options exist, they’re bright yellow and also you can put any colour in them, not just boring black.
…I feel like everyone answering “Powerball numbers” or “apple stocks” is completely missing the spirit of the question
Ya I was mainly thinking something stupid and impulsive not life changing
A note to my 16 y/o self saying, “buy as many shares in Apple as you can.” In 1995, they were under a dollar and I could have bought thousands. Ten years later, they’d be worth enough that I could live off the dividends for the rest of my life.
IIRC Apple doesn’t pay divs.
They do. Tesla doesn’t.
Steve Jobs had to die before AAPL paid dividends.
my anxiety meds. my life would’ve been far different and less miserable if i didn’t feel like death over a 5th grade fractions quiz
A pair of boxing gloves with don’t quit written on it.
a chef’s knife
My camera
A beyblade
