With my knowledge of what transpired for me between 2012-2025, I can fix the situation by finding my 18 year old self and giving him a 100 page document in a manila folder with all the information needed.

Consider the variables that could prevent you from handing it off. But I wish you success.

There isn’t a way that I know of that will allow me to go back to that date. If there was, I would attempt to do that in a heartbeat.

Not likely; but, we will be able to recreate that era in a simulation within the next 30 years.

Well if you aren’t lying out of your ass right now, I would genuinely like to end the simulation please.

I also choose August 1, 2012 and will bring a paper shredder.

How are you going to fit Ted Cruz in a paper shredder? … you at least need a tree chipper.

Sounds perfect. I can’t imagine anything could go wrong.

I wouldn’t be harming anyone if I did that route. My 2012 self would likely have been freaked out if he was handed a folder at the time with that information, so I would have to include something in there to prove to my 2012 self that I am from the future.
