If you could revisit a memory but couldn’t change anything, only observe, would you do it? What moment in your life would you choose, and why?

I would not pick any moment. Maybe my childhood. I don't know honestly. Fragments of Kaito

The day one of my buddy decided to confess to his crush, he was soo flustered and nervous that somehow instead of giving her a handshake, he awkwardly grasped her hand and accidentally slipped on the stairs.

Unintentionally dragging her down half a stair with him.

We shouldn't have laughed but bruv it was so fucking funny that, we were still laughing a week later when he tried a second time and got rejected lmaoo.

Shit I am still laughing while typing this

Hell yeah. I'd see my grandpa again.
This on so many levels. Being able to see loved ones who've passed is huge.
The real question is actually whether or not it's a one-time-only thing or if you can do it continuously. This is what matters more because, if you can't revisit the memory repeatedly, then you'd want to choose something where you can look for mistakes to avoid in the future. If you CAN go back repeatedly, even as an observer, then you have the issue of "I can't get over the loss" where people ignore their own well-being and literally try to live in the past.

Taking this to the next level, what if, in the grandparent scenario, they used their uncanny grandparent powers and were able to sense/see us. We don't necessarily need to interact with them, but having that person talk to us and give us the advice or encouragement we need to hear...even just thinking about this possibility has me tearing up. It's not even like their truly talking to us, it's just that they're saying what we need to hear now, but to a younger version of ourselves. A simple look directly at where our invisible self is... the crazy part of this is that our memories are complete shit piles. What we think we remember and what actually happened could be very different things and that's what gives this plausibility. Someone looking at our ghostly forms and speaking directly to us while also speaking to our younger self is absolutely possible with this.

If I could revisit any moment then I'd be interested in several. If I had to pick a single one, then the only way this would interest me would be if I could see how it played out with different decisions made by following each one down the "thread" to the present time to see how I turned out. Probably ended up in the most mediocre of realities...
