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.
Eat the same breakfast every day until I’m sick of it, and then the next day it’s back again
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 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
Piano.
I’ve off-and-on wondered about this one. A lot of learning to play piano is muscle memory. Would you retain that? And if you do, are you then in-fact also aging? How are people going to start reacting when you are noticeably older each iteration? Or if you let yourself go or decided to get buff? Things are going to get awkward relatively quickly.
Your physical muscles aren’t remembering anything, you just use less of your active attention on a task the more you do it.
So neural connections then. Hmm.
Well yeah, but that’s all memories are anyways, I assume you get to keep those as you loop. Otherwise the time loop is just that “its impossible to tell” meme from Star Trek
In time loops in Star Trek, they typically take a while to figure out that they’re in a time loop suggesting that one doesn’t necessarily retain everything. I guess we really need to know what kind of time loop we’re stuck in.
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
Jail cell, obviously your goal is to break out.
Get good at plane hijacking I guess…
Isn’t that roughly the plot to a current showing movie?

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
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.
Why would the time loop come to an end?
Name one piece of media where it doesn’t?
But why would you be so sure it will? What if you never figure it out and you’re permanently stuck in the loop?
Because otherwise, whoever is playing this cosmic joke on me wouldn’t be entertained.
Cyclically
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.
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.
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.
Great point. I don’t think I could just go through this seemingly impossible situation without trying to figure out how or why.
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”.
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.
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?
Sleeping as much as possible. It’s also what I’d do if I had the power to stop time.
