If you were stuck in a timeloop how would you spend your time?

      What triggers the loop? Sleeping? Unsubscribing from life? There are many experiments to do if there will be no consequences

        Learning. With breaks to play video games, spend whole days hanging out with my wife, and to get laid. Hopefully it happens on a weekend so I don’t have to explain not going to work to my wife every day.

            Oh man, what if your groundhog loop happened during an 18h flight to the other side of the world? I’d go insane.

                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

                      Isn’t that roughly the plot to a current showing movie?

                      Learn a foreign language till I’m fluent.

                      When the time loop finally comes to an end, pretend to have a seizure and after waking up only speak in the new language to troll people.

                          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

                                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.

                                      Play video games that use passwords instead of saves. Then, get better at remembering strings of characters. Find enjoyment with the things I have, as it would be a pain to get the same things every loop.

                                        hedonism. as much as all my savings could aquire in a day. the loop is a day right? we are talking groundhog day?

                                              Yup he said loops once a day. At least that’s my interpretation of the term groundhogs day. Only problem is you don’t know when it ends

                                                  honestly assuming it goes on at least a couple of days you a multiple of the number of days in hedonism for the cost of your savings. seems like a good deal. now if it stops looping the moment you pull the spend trigger or you only get two or three days. ouch.

Some days or part of my day working on learning some skills such as piano. Mix up some hanging out and messing with people. I would try to spend as much time as possible with my wife and baby. It would be weird to have the same day with them but still want to see them

                                                                              It is not a place for ‘how do I?’, type questions.

For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.

                                                                              Please don’t post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !uspolitics@lemmy.world


                                                                              7) No Hit-and-Run questions.

                                                                              Please don’t delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It’s not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it’s not in the spirit of the community.
