If you able to go back in time and flick your dad in the nuts before he impregnated your mom, would you still be you, would you be a different person, or would someone else eventually be born?

This is not possible. It makes no sense to ask that question, philosophically speaking. You are who you are, anon, and that's all.

if you were 7 bajillion years old, had fourteen heads, eighty fingers, fifty arms, a magical pirate that can summon genies by smoking a pipe, and had three wishes the genie granted you but only if you obey godel's model logic, what would you wish for?

Your question makes no sense. Ego illusion is as the name implies an illusion. Ego, (you) is a product of the organism.

OP’s question is simply about whether changing variables like this would alter the “timeline” or whatever. Yes anon if that’s what the hypothetical you conjured seems acceptably realistic lmfao.. in any case you wouldn’t even need to flick your dads balls, just ensure somehow that he nuts like a second earlier or later and you probably don’t win the race

According to who? Another illusion?
Self-defeating.
