God, so much, that sounds like heaven. I’m incredibly interested in everything, and I’d pursue so many more skills if I had years of free time, especially if the world was basically paused around me. Learning instruments, learning languages, reading so many books. So many books.
You could throw me in a single day loop for centuries and I would be happily learning the whole time.
As someone with guitar calluses, let me say that if every time you practiced guitar was your first time, you’d give up pretty quickly.
Honestly guitar would be pretty low on my list, but I already have enough callous to get me through a day, and presumably the wear would heal overnight
Depends when was the last time I jerked off. And how long loop?
In my head I was picturing the movie groundhogs day.
That’s the point, they’re trying to grind their hog
In the short story groundhogs day is like 10000 years
Was @MantisToboggon asking how long each loop lasts until it resets, or how long in total?
Everyone is totally ignoring how recently I jerked off. It is critical to my understanding.
I meant how long each loop was, an hour ? A day? A week?
Oh man, what if your groundhog loop happened during an 18h flight to the other side of the world? I’d go insane.
Isn’t that roughly the plot to a current showing movie?
Edit: Was thinking of https://store.steampowered.com/app/4529770/One_More_Flight/
Or what if you’re undergoing surgery or bedridden with flu or incarcerated in a cell
There are so many situations where a groundhog loop would be hell
Jail cell, obviously your goal is to break out.
Get good at plane hijacking I guess…
Probably heroin.
If I had my time again, I would do it all the same.
That’s a different prompt. I’d change a lot. Not quite everything. Maybe I’d save my dad.
I’d use it as an excuse to get really good at my hobbies for a year or so with no long-term responsibilities getting in the way before even trying to break out lmao
Procrastination.
Cyclically
Napping.
I would do everything except to play video games, playing always from the same save point or from the beginning would get boring very fast.
Hmmm is there a way to download other people save files?
Play old video games. They have codes for every level because of no room for savegames.
You have to go back pretty far.
I’d probably spend a fair amount of time trying to figure out how it is possible I am stuck in a time loop, considering that violates the laws of physics as I understand them.
Great point. I don’t think I could just go through this seemingly impossible situation without trying to figure out how or why.
Yeah, highest priority to me seems to be to figure out if you are still aging. Things are gonna start to suck pretty hard if you’re in there for any amount of time and getting older.
Learn to play the piano. Learn to fix my car. The car would always be back to what it was but the knowledge would stay with me
If I’m aging: start immediately filming an explanation and such for my wife knowing I’ll never see her move or speak again.
If I’m not, and there’s an end eventually: get caught up on sleep, clear my gaming backlog, take imposssible pictures, have a good time.
Why would you never see her move or speak again? Wouldn’t that only be during a time freeze, and not a timeloop?
If he’s aging within the time loop, then the loop will end when he dies. If that happens, he won’t be there for the “final iteration”.
Kill myself in a bunch of fun ways like Bill Murray did in Groundhog’s Day.
Find a bunch of fun ways to kill this guy!
Play golf through the Stargate, of course.
In the middle of my backswing?!?!!?
