Which was a day of your own life that you could live again and again and do it slightly different each time and then you do it all over again the next day (spoilers), what day would it be and why?

Thanks, I’m gonna give this a bit of thought before my answer. Got a few that pop to mine, but really want to consider one that didn’t just have nice times but had so much potential for other paths too

Boring answer I’m afraid: my wedding day. I wouldn’t change much but I’d fiddle about a bit just to do it again every day.
I literally could never get bored of Mrs f walking towards me while my brother stood by my side.

Probably when I met David Platt from Corra on a night out in Venue

I don’t have a specific one in mind, but one of those days at Glastonbury where there were way too many things happening and mega-clashes, and/or where I didn’t hear about secret sets until it was too late. Probably on a Friday so that I wake up feeling relatively fresh every time.

One of the days in Paris that involved a couple of restaurants, a couple of cocktail bars and… a ton of sex?
Then I’d just change the restaurants and bars around every day.

See, I would say the day before my wedding day. All my friends and family, loads of eating and booze.
I wouldn’t do my wedding day itself because I was incredibly hungover and I can’t start every day like that.
You’ve got a point there to be honest. On one of the reruns I wouldn’t get quite so plastered quite so early
30th January 2010 would be a good one. Big night out in Bordeaux, ended up losing the people I was with for hours and making new friends and going on a night out with them instead. A lot of things happened that night to each of the people I was there with, could be a fun one
He was there for 10,000 years, so even choosing a lovely day would make that memory really tedious and you’d quickly hate it. So rather than 10,000 years of snogging my bf at Adrienne Lenker, I’ll take something horrible.
Either the woman on the plane who told me I didn’t know what I was doing when M was crying, or the woman on the bus who kept smirking and shaking her head at me in disgust when M was crying. I think about them both a lot and how much I’d love to give them a shitty memory.

Even knowing everyone would forget and the next day would be reset, I’d be too socially awkward to ever do anything outlandish or that draws peoples attention to me
- No one look at me, thanks. I don’t want to upset any of you, sorry, pls, thank you
- NED! NED RYERSON! punch

I’d eventually, a few centuries in, decide to just go for it and do something extroverted. Then I’d wake up the next day and find out that was the last day of the loop and my phone would have loads of messages and oh no.

It’d take a while for me to go full nihilistic, probably an above average amount of time, and slowly slowly a bit at a time, but I absolutely would

This thread is actually inspired by a Groundhog Day influenced show I’m in next month, where I’ve been recommended to watch the following films, so the concept is bouncing around my head a bit:
Palm Springs
Edge of Tomorrow
12:01 PM (short film)
Two Distant Strangers (short film)

Tempted to say wedding because it was so nice and everyone was there and it was a lovely time and the food was so good. But actually groundhog day is a horrible prison and when you’re going through that kind of unimaginable torture, you do not want to be busy for the entire day with everyone you love around you and you’re the centre of attention.
So I choose a random day when me and Her Indoors were alone with the cats and there was food in the house and I had nothing to do except enjoy each other’s company/go for a walk/read/watch TV/play games. That would actually be a very blessed eternity.
I would it to be a day when I didn’t have a spot on my forehead or anything like that.
