The fact that I work with IT with a niche skill set that is highly sought after in my industry. I was 10 in 1993, and at that point I didn't even know how to turn on a computer.
What I did use a lot, on the other hand, was my NES. And 10 year old me would probably make a jaw drop induced crater upon seeing the kind of games I can play nowadays. Hell, my brand new laptop is fancy on its own.
That my parents passed away.
Life goes on past thirty five. I knew that was the case, but my plans and goals only went as far as then.
Kinda like when you graduate uni and you realize that there's still more stuff to do.
Well I did write down that I was going to win a billion money and move to the moon. I have much less faith in gambling now though.
Fourth grade? I don’t think I really thought about my life 30 years later. Maybe finding out I have ADHD; I’m not hyperactive so not the kind really diagnosed in kids.
That's I've been working 2 jobs for twenty years and am still married to this asshole who I am grey rocking so I can get through my 12 hour workdays.
My dick didn't grow.
That I'm an atheist, probably. Living on the opposite side of the world is a close second.
Same as you. I also fully expected to be overweight. Sort of still do expect that at some point.
Honestly, probably only that I like dogs more than cats now when it used to be the reverse.
My life has been crazy, in a mostly unpleasant but not entirely unpleasant way, but I don't think 10-year-old me would be surprised by any of those parts. It's the more mundane stuff that surprises.
Probably that I got charged by a deer in the middle of fucking nowhere on the tail end of a solo 150 mile gravel bike ride, Macguyvered that thing and rode home. That actually surprises me lol
I wasn't an athletic or tough kid by any stretch (smallest kid in class and asthma to top it off) so he'd probably get a kick out of me running ultras, biking through mud 150 miles at a time, ditching the car and running to work

You are in accounting? Wtf? You can't even count.
You got to touch a girl's boobies.
That I graduated high school, have a job, and changed my name. Instead of being locked away in a group home where I'm forced to stagnate at mentally 6 years old, and also punished for being mentally 6 instead of older.
that all that studying and academic pressure had basically zero payoff other than at least im employed
