Eat the same breakfast every day until I'm sick of it, and then the next day it's back again

[-] kaosterra@sh.itjust.works 4 points 3 days ago

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

[-] LouNeko@lemmy.world 24 points 5 days ago

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.

[-] lastweakness@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago

Why would the time loop come to an end?

[-] LouNeko@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Name one piece of media where it doesn't?

[-] lastweakness@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

But why would you be so sure it will? What if you never figure it out and you're permanently stuck in the loop?

[-] LouNeko@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Because otherwise, whoever is playing this cosmic joke on me wouldn't be entertained.

[-] lastweakness@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Fair enough

[-] Hapankaali@lemmy.world 27 points 5 days ago

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.

[-] Rhynoplaz@lemmy.world 6 points 5 days ago

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

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

[-] Mrkawfee@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

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

[-] shartgargle@lemmy.zip 2 points 3 days ago

Jail cell, obviously your goal is to break out.

[-] AwesomeLowlander@sh.itjust.works 7 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

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

Edit: Was thinking of https://store.steampowered.com/app/4529770/One_More_Flight/

[-] LaLuzDelSol@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago

Get good at plane hijacking I guess...

[-] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

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.

[-] agamemnonymous@sh.itjust.works 15 points 4 days ago

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.

[-] Underwaterbob@sh.itjust.works 6 points 4 days ago

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.

[-] agamemnonymous@sh.itjust.works 3 points 4 days ago

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

[-] HubertManne@piefed.social 20 points 5 days ago

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

[-] danciestlobster@lemmy.zip 10 points 5 days ago

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

Play golf through the Stargate, of course.

[-] SirEDCaLot@lemmy.today 2 points 3 days ago

In the middle of my backswing?!?!!?

[-] BoxOfFeet@lemmy.world 10 points 4 days ago

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.

[-] gh0stcassette@lemmy.blahaj.zone 12 points 5 days ago

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

[-] madmantis24@lemmy.wtf 1 points 3 days ago

FR I would finally be out of excuses not to learn Blender

Then I would use my knowledge for hentai commissions once the loop breaks

[-] MantisToboggon@lemmy.world 15 points 5 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

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

[-] Maven@lemmy.zip 12 points 5 days ago

In my head I was picturing the movie groundhogs day.

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

[-] KC_Royalz@lemmy.world 8 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

In the short story groundhogs day is like 10000 years

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

[-] modus@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

Procrastinate.

[-] tanisnikana@lemmy.world 11 points 5 days ago

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.

[-] riot@fedia.io 7 points 5 days ago

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

[-] lastweakness@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago

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".

[-] StabbingSky@lemmy.zip 10 points 5 days ago

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

[-] TrackenDaKracken@lemmy.world 9 points 5 days ago

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.

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.

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

[-] yuknowhokat@lemmy.world 7 points 5 days ago

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

[-] MrFappy@lemmy.world 7 points 5 days ago

“In the middle of my backswing?!”

[-] socsa@piefed.social 6 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

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.

[-] Vandals_handle@lemmy.world 6 points 5 days ago

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.

[-] Speiser0@feddit.org 5 points 5 days ago

Procrastination.
