You wake up 2 days ago, realistically, what do you do?

r/

You go to sleep, and when you wake up, for some reason, every device you have that indicates the date is the date that’s two days ago. You have memory of the 2 days but nobody else does. Events will happen the same way but you can still influence the world.

If your spouse told you about their day at work previous, you are allowed to tell them what’s about to happen at work, it will mostly all still happen again minus your influence or your spouse’s intervention with the knowledge. Honestly this would be kinda funny to do lol.

Assume that no major events happen in these two days and you don’t feel like you need to prevent 9/11 or something like that. Just the most average uneventful two days of your life.

Normally one of these scenarios would end up with people doing stuff regarding the lottery or stock market, but it’s only two days, and realistically I think people would actually be very VERY distraught. But what will you do? Check your food for drugs? Go to the doctor? Shrink? Are you going to prove to somebody you know some stuff about the next two days? You only have two days to do all this and the amount of events you’ve memorized can just be attributed to lucky guesses. Or… are you afraid that the government would kidnap you and study you in Area 51?
