Depends when was the last time I jerked off? And how long loop?

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.

In my head I was picturing the movie groundhogs day.

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.

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.

Kill myself in a bunch of fun ways like Bill Murray did in Groundhog's Day.

In the short story groundhogs day is like 10000 years

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

Play old video games. They have codes for every level because of no room for savegames.

You have to go back pretty far.

Hmmm is there a way to download other people save files?

Play golf through the Stargate, of course.

Sleep. So much sleep.

I mean... I'm sort of doing that right now.

My routine is very consistent. Right down to eating the same meals every day so I don't need to think about what to eat, and I know what I'm getting at the store every week.

Probably heroin.

I think the first few hundred times through the loop from Stargate would be a good start

Sleeping as much as possible. It's also what I'd do if I had the power to stop time.

Shitposting online and getting into contracts with people to become enemies.

Hey wait a second!

Was @MantisToboggon asking how long each loop lasts until it resets, or how long in total?

“In the middle of my backswing?!”

You will regret your remarks!!!!

That's the point, they're trying to grind their hog

Why I never!

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

Don't forget what you can take on in credit card debt

You're good though? You're still interested in hobbies or media and you're speaking with friends and loved ones on a cadence that works for you? I'm just asking because that's a sign of depression is all.

Daytime depends on the season and weather; skiing, climbing or kayaking. Nighttime calls for grilling , chillin' and thrillin' no mater the season.

IRL I try to go skiing every ground hog day just in case.

Ooh, nap!

Ooh, nap!

Ooh, nap!

Find a bunch of fun ways to kill this guy!

Why would you never see her move or speak again? Wouldn't that only be during a time freeze, and not a timeloop?

Great point. I don't think I could just go through this seemingly impossible situation without trying to figure out how or why.

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.

Do the hypothetical traumas and consequences of my time loop actions somehow propagate into the broader, static universe, or can I safely commit atrocities knowing that each new capsule universe will dissolve into nothingness every 24 hours, resetting its moral boundary conditions each time?

Cuz I have big ideas, but there might be collateral damage.

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.

But also, maybe punch a few assholes, or try killing people that damaged me during my childhood, because I've never done violence and I'd like to know what physical dominance feels like. Maybe ask a few girls out to either confirm or finally absolve me of my worthlessness. In one of the loops, I'd gamble. In another loop, I'd try all the drugs that my precarious government position makes difficult to try. Oh, what I wouldn't give for some pot and LSD. I'd move to a non transmedical society and finally receive HRT, although this wouldn't have any effect in one single day, so never mind. If I retained my memories each time, then I'd start studying anything and everything that I'm interested in. I'd learn to recite The Silmarillion by heart.

If we're going with a Groundhog day scenario I would pretty much do what he did. 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

A little bit of everything I could manage within the space of the loop until I inevitably went mad because infinite repetition would destroy me just as it would anyone else.

Cyclically

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?

Depends how long the time loop is. Hopefully not like 6 seconds, but a day.

If it was a reasonable amount of time in the loop, I would start learning everything I could, like languages, stem topics, etc.

But I would also try to experience as much as possible. Learn how to speak in front of crowds, how much of a pain tolerance can I have, fear of heights, that sort of things.

Basically imagination is the only limiting factor.

Depends on multiple things. If I didn't know it was a time loop I would just keep doing the same things over and over in blissful ignorance. If I knew, I would probably do what Cristin Milioti does in Palm Springs - study physics to figure out how to get out of the loop. Besides that, what I did for fun would depend on whether or not I can bring anything with me - like if it's possible to carry a notebook that doesn't get erased I might work on a novel. In any case I would spend significant time dinking around and trying to get laid a lot.

Procrastination.

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

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

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.

If I had my time again, I would do it all the same.

Piano.

Napping.

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.
