If your future self came to the present to visit you, what would you say?

I'd say hi... I'd say what's up? how'd you get here? what's going to happen? anything I should know? anything I should do differently?

I don't know. It could be really bad to know what happens in the future.

You were right.

What WOULDN'T I say? What WOULDN'T I ask? I want my future self to be 25. Then I can find out what I decided to study or do and who I married and I could make better decisions to be happier in the future...

On the other hand, what if my future self is a ghost?

what an EXCELLENT survey

Why are you showing up NOW?

Zim, Don't use the time machine, love Zim!

Please tell me what stock to invest in RIGHT NOW!!!!

ZIMA!!!!!!!!

thanks

What am I doing right?

It would go something like this:
Present Zang: "Hey."
Future Zang: "Hey."
PZ: "So, how's it going?"
FZ: "Can't complain. How about you?"
PZ: "Not too shabby."
FZ *Grunts, scratches himself, parks himself in a chair*

There is a long silence in which no one says anything. It could be described as a "comfortable silence".

PZ: "So, you want a coffee?"
FZ: "I was wondering when you would ask."

PZ goes into the kitchen and prepares coffee. Later, they are sitting drinking the coffee.

PZ: "So, how long do you want to keep this up?"
FZ: "I'm ready any time you are."

word

stud

I would ask FutureBob to gossip the night away.

Thank GOD that HE can CHANGE anybody who is willing. The word of God says, "And they overcame him by the blood of the lamb, by the word of their testimony and that they loved not their lives unto death." I overcame the lies of the enemy and stood on the rock of my salvation!!

Gee, you look like crap warmed over. Where's the cyberware?

What would which me say?

the present you

Yeah! Who's the next microsoft?

I hope I/he will say - don't panic it gets better.

"Before you say anything, I'm just going to let you know that whatever you tell me, no matter how small, will alter the future so that I will no longer be you in the future, so you will never come back to tell me what that thing which changed it was, and in fact, I don't know how you are here right now, as your very existance in this time frame is altering my perception of the future."

My future self would probably say "There's no need to work so damn hard. Take some holidays. Have some children. Work's not going to go away". And I will not listen to my future self, because I'm too scared of falling behind.

I would ask if everything was cool.

i had this dream when i was young. i dont remember what i told me.

This is not going to happen.

lol lol lol lol
Yeah...Huh? What a dingbat I am! **hits herself in the forehead** What was I thinking??

Gosh if only huh?? We'd all be rich!

lol lol lol lol Your too funny!!What have you been drinking?? Please pour me one.

I'd resist the temptation to ask anything other than "Why are you here?". If my future self came back to visit me it must be for a reason.

Well, I'm your future self. Now what are you going to say?

Ermm.. why are you here?

You left your car headlights on moron, the battery is going to go flat.

Oh, sorry . Thanks, you're a lifesaver.

No problem.

Holy moly! What are you, eh, I mean I, doing here?

I'd ask lots of questions. Like, which stocks will do the best between now and your time, who wins the World Cup, what are next week's lottery numbers, etc. And my future self will have already made a note of all these things, and will tell them to me very carefully, and make sure that I write them down and don't forget them. Because, of course, that's how my future self got to be rich enough to own a time machine

Okay without looking. If you went back a week and your week old self asked what last Saturdays numbers were. What would you say?

I don't know at the moment. But, if I was going to go back and tell my old self the lottery numbers, I would look them up first. And I'd know that I needed to because I would remember asking my future self for the numbers when I was my old self.

this is where the whole time thing breaks down or starts to hurt the brain.
How would your week old self remember asking your future(present) self.

My week-old self wouldn't - but my present self would remember asking!

When did I get so fat?

I would say: Go from me; let me choose my fate as it occured for you.

Hi! So, am I a fashion designer? No, wait, don't tell me. That'll ruin it. I'm sorry, but could you leave? I don't want to hurt your, or my own feelings, but I don't want to accidentally screw up my (our)future. Thank you! Bye! See you soon!

I would say "I'm surprised that I had a future to live for".

Meeeeee?

*sighs*
yes.....

I'd ask him for some investment advice.

Some time ago I'd have asked for personal advice. But I don't think I'd have taken it.

"Who'd you marry?" "Got any kids?"

I would ask where the hell my jetpack was.
And lottery numbers. Give me lottery numbers.

I would ask lots of questions!!!

I'd love to know what the future had in store for me, but only if I could do something about it. If its just pre-meditated then whats the point?

i would tell him to fudge off. or perhaps i would say do i die in the future just to make him wonder whether he is really that stupid.

Is this as good as it gets?

"Is my life always going to be full of crap?"

"Choose the right path, you know deep inside yourself what that is..."

unless you believe what is suggested by quantum physics - each moment in time co-exists in a frozen capsule with multiple selves already taking each possible path with every conceivable outcome coming true in unlimited universes...

I would say:''What's my baby boy's name?'' ''Is it Jose'?....''

This isn't a very good survey!

Does my life get any suckier?

Actually, I DO agree with that theory, in part anyways. However, whose to say the path that I took could still be altered because I go back to MY frozen capsule. That possibility is always there.

"Keep at it!"

Future Topper would say :

"I know *exactly* what you like in bed."

I can't believe you didn't beat me to my previous comment on this survey! Oh come on, you *must* have thought of it....!

Who me?
*coy smile*

*kiss*

*grope*

I would say, "So what's your wife's name" If he says " I don't have a wife" I'm gonna punch his lights out!

This would never happen.

Hi Herekrishna, how are you? I don't think I have ever commented to you before. I was just wondering why you were unwilling to "pretend" on this question.

I don't like pretending. Hare Kishna! http://richardwyndham.tripod.com/hkn/id7.html

Please don't take this the wrong way. Is it against you personal spiritual beliefs to "IMAGINE"??? I am just curious. Please tell why this is so, share.

No. I like to think about things that are possible.

Who is the "you" in "what would you say?" the current you or the future you? I as the current you wouldn't say anything like usual. The future you would say things depending on the path life had taken - the same old thing, better things, disaster, who knows? the you's don't

I would start screaming and beat the person to death.
