You Wake Up in 1950. What do?

[8pilot8]

You're in exactly the same place geographically, and have no way to ever get back to 2016.

What do you do with your life? What actual knowledge do you have that could make your life successful?

[jyzzbrah]

Invent something stupid like the sticky note or envelope with see-though window

[Malik116]

buy property, buy gas, buy oil. sell ******* before Pablo

[LFAesthetics]

50's were one of the GOAT eras' would stay in forever/10.

like other brah, def "invent" something for that cash flow or invest in chit I know will be worth a ton.

edit: invent the internet before it gets invented and watch humanity excel at a faster rate than the first go round.

[JoshSP1985]

Just invest in companies that I know will take off, get in really early and you'll do extremely well.

[Fuqdatass]

Smash a prime Marilyn Monroe

"Invent" Velcro

[Exiled93]

Become a tradie.

[jesusxchrist]

Beat my wife

[8pilot8]

But how would you get started - you have no actual cash apart from whatever you have on your when you wake up, no ID, you don't exist as such in that year.

[sammywatkins]

Kill my grandparents so my parents are never born and thus im never born

[Messiahtype]

This is easy.

-Find the name of a dead soldier
-Steal identity
-Move to NYC
-Become advertising exec

[MadNinjaSkills]

Well since it's 1950, I better...
-put on my afternoon pearls
-start preparing dinner
-tidy up the house
-change my dress in preparation to greet my husband
-settle our child down
-powder my nose (have to look fresh for the husband)
-have a drink ready for my husband at the door
-listen diligently to my husband as he tells me about his day
-serve him dinner
-clean up after him
-clean the kitchen
-put the child to bed
-give the husband sexy time
-all while smiling and under any cercomstance, never complain.

I think I covered a typical day for a woman in 1950. But it's honestly not far off of my day now with the exception of also holding a full time job. Lol

[usera]

I would get caught necking in the back of a Studebaker, I love heavy petting.

[All-Star11]

I'd find Bill Gates.
The rest doesn't matter but Windows, The Internet, ********, etc, etc are mine

Hi five Marty McFly and then bang Lea Thompson in the back of a Studebaker

[8pilot8]

Bill Gates won't be born for 5 years, won't found Microsoft for another 25 years. The internet won't exist in any regular way for 40-50 years. Long time to wait to get rich.

Exactly, life would be so much better for you. Jelly as f*ck

[proudmanlet]

post a "what do?" thread on misc from my home computer

[EoR]

Most people would probably go insane thinking how/why. Then imagine trying to adapt to primitive times and explain who you are. You'll come off as crazy no matter how you word it. Most people today even with the internet have horrible general knowledge, so they wouldn't be able to take any advantage of being back in that time. Most people would end up probably living a horrible life and wishing they were dead - then again it could be like that now anyway lol.

Now waking up that many years but in the FUTURE, and now we're talking.

Pro Tip: The stock market existed before the internet

Agree. Most people are like "Invent Internet". Good luck with that. I have no concept of how anything like that physically works eg computers, internet, processors.... etc.

Best idea might be to be like Biff, try and bet on sporting events you remember the results of.
