Here are the rules for each power.

READ MINDS
-No limit on how often you use it
-You have perfect control over it
-You can only read the mind of someone who is within 100 yards that you can physically see
-You can read the minds of anyone within your vision within 100 yards. You can read everyones mind at once or chose to only read one person. You have complete control over that.
-You can also read the mind of any living thing with the ability to think. So this also applies to animals

REVERSE TIME
-You will recall everything you know and experience after you rewind time.
-There is no limit with how far back you can rewind time HOWEVER you have a cooldown on your power twice as long as the length you go back in time.

Examples:
*You go back in time 30 seconds, it goes on cooldown for 1 minute.
*You go back in time 10 years, its on cooldown for 20 years

Which will you choose?

Reverse time would be great for any immediate fuckups.

I do not want to know what people think or what they think of me.

Reverse time is probably more useful, but anything with a cooldown is almost always a no for me.

Reverse time. Id just need to use it once to make millions and then any other time would just be like a few seconds prior if I stub my toe or something like that.

Ehh, I dont really wanna put work into it. Just want it there so I can live without worrying about money. Wait for the lottery numbers to be called, go back like 2 hours and buy a ticket with those numbers. Done.

You know there's no guarantee that the same numbers will get called again if you change something in the past. You're better off playing options at the stock market. Those are much more predictable than random numbers.

I could do stock markets I guess, or something else. Was just looking for the quickest thing that didnt really interrupt my life.

But would me going back to buy a lottery ticket really change anything?

Its mentioned wed recall everything, that would be kinda pointless if everything changes no matter what.

Here is my thought process on it. Most likely it wont be random again. If you rewind time and do almost nothing different outside of buying tickets, I dont see why a butterfly effect big enough to change lottery numbers would happen unless you do something big. That is my take on it. The further back you go in time, the likely hood of anything small you do changing the future is higher.

I personally think of it as a cone. If you go back in time 30 seconds then how much you can change the future is very limited unless you do something insane. The further you go back, the more time you have for your actions to make bigger impact beyond what you experienced

You can easily cheat at card games with time reversal.

Blackjack, for instance.

'Read minds'

You'd either be the best murder detective ever, or richest private investigator. At best, arresting people at the murder scene or finding a missing person the same night a report goes out.

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]

Well the butterfly effect is a tremendous change originating from a small change millions of years in the past.

Something much smaller though, like, the power used in generating your ticket means slightly less power available for the machine making the draw. Throws it off a CPU cycle which is like nanoseconds. Completely undetectable but could change the randomness dramatically.

Edit: also, A Sound of Thunder, the original literature from which the concept of the butterfly effect came from, is secretly a nonfiction book about the 2016 US election.

Sweet, thank you TC.

Yah Id stick with reverse time. Try the lotto thing a couple times, some other fun with it. Besides the money, the main thing would be after stubbed toes. I really do hate that. But fuck, Id still feel that pain. Damn this is tricky.

Time is the obvious one. Wait till big lottery drawing and boom get rich.

Also can save yourself from any fatal injury that isn't instant or coma inducing.

The mind one is going to be filled with ethical struggles, inability to act on much of the info, broken pedastals and wanting to bleach your brain/die. Etc.

You could literally just call in a hoax threat from a pay phone at the airport and it would ruin everything. The fact that they would catch people with box cutters means they probably wouldn't ever find you because you would have zero connection to them.

Damn 100 yards is far for that ability, but still rewind time. The ability to just try different things then rewind it back without fear of long term consequences is very empowering. Hopefully I dont turn into a super villain

This.

Between Spoke Stackhouse and that episode of Buffy, reading minds sounds absolutely torturous.

I'm taking out a bank loan for everything I can, draining my bank account and heading to Vegas with my new time reversal powers.

Actually you could get an extra day in every day. Your cooldown time starts when you finish going back in time. So lets say its Midnight on Wednesday. You decide to go back in time for a full day. So its Tuesday at Midnight. The timer starts there so you get your powers back on Thursday at Midnight. If you want, you can go back in time again to Wednesday at Midnight and the cycle continues. You can double your time like this.. Sort of. What you have accomplished physically during that time will be erased but you will remember everything
