      Go online, just like I did back then. I've been online before the web. And it was more fun. And no ads.

      I didn't go online when I first woke up. I often though would check see how my downloads did overnight. In 95 I was still using the local collage dial in.

          Figure out how to set up a stock trading account with ameritrade, or whatever the ad for the talking baby who bought stocks was for, and invest in today's big companies. I'd invest like 10 bucks at a time, but keep doing it. Also? Buy some bitcoins.

                That really depends on if I'm my now age or my then age. Though either way, I'm looking for my mom

                        Play with hot wheels and Transformers. Maybe take the afternoon and fold an entire ream of paper into airplanes, one design only, looking for small improvements on every crease, corner and pleat to create the perfect expression of that design.

                            Go into a lab and start researching time travel. Proving to scientist that I'm from the future shouldn't be that hard.

                            That's 29 years ago. Eeryone I know is as good as dead. I need to find a way to go back

                              Ah yes, spend 30 minutes to download an image and print it out on your dot matrix printer to hide for use when you can't access the computer.

                              I'm just arguing here - but dot matrix was mostly irrelevant at that point. Inkjet, bubblejet, and laser jet existed.

                                Unfortunately the Pentium 60 botches your blockchain with some bad floating point operations.

                                Hell, json is 6 years off at this point. XML is 1 year off. Soap? Years off still... Like no formal web based apis existed.

                                Man - I'd hit up geocities or something.

                                    depends on what day of the week it is. if it's a weekday then I turn on the TV and watch like Power Rangers or whatever was on during Fox Kids Mornings. Or if i'm in my bedroom where I didn't have cable then bleh had to watch Global (Canada) and it was carebears or inspector gadget or something in the mornings. OR just put on the Genesis/SNES.

                                    If it's Saturday then I'm up early to go to the basement to watch cartoons all morning.

                                    it was way better back then.

                                      Assuming I'm the same age I am today, probably the same thing 😅

                                      Wake up, morning constitutional, coffee, bong-rip, check the server.

                                        you've omitted "just." If "just" were not in the sentence I would have instinctively filled it in with the missing words you've suggested. But I can't reconcile "just" with any parse.
