Let's say that a wizard or scientist comes up to you and gives you a chance to relive your life again. Here's how it would work: each day you relive one random day that took place in your life(day one, you relive a day when you were 1 years old. Day 2 you relive a day when you were 2 years old and so forth until you reach your current age). You can do whatever you want because nothing you do during this alters your future in anyway and if you happen to die during this you go on to the next day(or maybe just go back to the present. This could be random).
As for me, I'd lean towards no. Middle school through the end of High School was a nightmare that I'd never want to go through ever again(unless all the days would take place on Saturday).

I would for sure. If anything to have sex in high school.
I could have a few times and didn't cause I was young and stupid. And those chicks wereout of mmy league.
And even more innocently playing with friends on my random 8 year old day would be fun to do again.

Oh gosh, absolutely! Youth is wasted on the young, as they say. If there were no consequences and I could do anything on those days, I'd have a really awesome time... some of it with people who are no longer alive, some with people who I've drifted apart from, some of it just enjoying being healthy with no aches and pains.

So I get to relive one day of each year of my life, but can't change the future in any way, nor face any ramifications from doing anything bad on those days?
On the one hand, could be fun.....on the other could be psychologically destroying to be able to do and change that one thing....only for it not to count later. Also kinda lends itself to just being evil - like in Groundhog day how, after a while he just started being a dick because he knew it didnt count....

Would I like a consequence free playground? Of course I would. Even if my random pick is a crappy day I can almost certainly ignore the bad bits or if I was too ill to do much commit suicide to get onto the next day.
Oh...actually no...having and adult consciousness as baby would no control over my body would be horrifying. That's the trouble with the wizards who organise such things, there's always a hidden catch.

No
Living those days once was enough.

What's the point if nothing matters? Also I don't think I could cope with being a child again, even if just for a few days. I have a bad case of arrested development as it is.

Sure why the hell not. The year 14-20 would be interesting to see what days are picked

In this scenario do I still have all the knowledge and experience of what I do in my adult life? If so then I would do this if only to have a chance to stand up to the assholes who made me their bitch in middle/ High school. Even if it didn't change anything it would still feel good. Plus there's some silly things to do. Like, what if one day I decided to go to school naked?

I don't think so. I feel I'm not really the "asshole" type who would go back and do deplorable things to my friends and family just because I know it wouldn't count. If I can't change things for the better, I'd rather just not accept. I've done things in the past that I'd love to change and being unable to do so would kill me.

Can't change the future? I'm not as eager than.
The only thing I would probably consider is going back to middle school/high school, and not be afraid of the school system. So many assholes that needed a good foot across their heads, but I was terrified that the school would punish me and inform my parents. Back then I would have loved to left a trail of knocked out bodies.

Absolutely not. It'd make all the choices in life trivial. You have to accept the good and the bad in life and make peace with events. There's no point in doing things over.
It's childish to want to go back in time to get revenge on people who were mean to you or to relieve great feelings.

Why are people talking about getting revenge and being mean? We can relive happy times just for fun right?

Idk. I'd like to go back in time and do stuff. Play more sports, be more social. Date more girls. Experiment with my sexuality under more desirable circumstances. But coming back to the present and realizing that it was all just a fantasy seems like I'd be setting myself up for a big disappointment.

I'd go back to 2005, try and find a way to prevent my anxiety issues and trust myself more than just banking on luck finding my way.

Why are people talking about getting revenge and being mean? We can relive happy times just for fun right? That does make it harder. I am fine with giving up revenge, I have no interest in that, but being able to talk to friends or family long lost, if only once, is more tempting.

No, not under those circumstances. I am not sure if it'd be a good idea to mess with the past.
