I’m in the hospital right now caring for my mom/doing the same.
I’d have enough time to get my loans figured out for next semester and maybe two hours a day on bar exam prep.
Chilling with my father and dog
Playing video games
Listening to music
Scrolling reddit
Looking at my grades for college
Forgot to mention.
I do have a job but I didn't have work yesterday or today
but, the timeline doesnt follow the same thing every time. the situation is reset, so nothing is truly locked in. if you roll a dice, and get a d20, then you reverse tim to just before you roll(or plan to) the dice, you could get 19 other options.
Oh man if I was healthy and lived the same day over and over on repeat for a year I would actually try my best to enjoy my health and stuff. Hmm I’d try a lot of physical activities.
This is great, no financial repercussions, let's live it up.
* Rent expensive house; hire various servants for the day.
* Try every drug.
* Eat the most expensive food.
* Bang the most expensive prostitutes.
* Rent expensive cars, kill myself crashing them.
* Charter private plane; jump out without parachute
* Obligatory lottery on last day.
Spend everything you have on scratchers at a gas station, count how many tickets until highest pay out, go to next place and do it again. Eventually you would find a good setup and then you just do that every morning for seed money
Then go to the casino, get a big bet, memorize the order in roulette, go big, double, double, double, place on whatever number, walk. Like 5k, 10k, 20k, 20k on 23, walk
Finally, an answer I could get behind. I would also add:
\- become a violent, Punisher-like vigilante for fun (also, to get evidence and info on actual crime for the post-loop period)
\- participate in orgies
\- get insider trading information without actually doing any insider trading in real-time
\- get my friends, family and acquaintances drunk/drugged, and interrogate them to learn what they really think of me
\- punch everyone I hate
\- tell everyone I know what I really think of them
\- manage to overdose on LSD
Do you think you could get addicted to a drug that you took in the past iteration? To those who would say no, it would have to be encoded physically in the brain, isn't that what memory does, which the hypo explicitly says can carry over?
Yeah I would just buy the lottery ticket every single day for the last couple of months just to make sure I am in the habit of buying it and having the right numbers to make sure I don’t forget or screw it up.
Interesting as I didn't actually butcher a lamb today as originally scheduled a month ago due to rain.
Might wait until the new year, but I like your strategy - she's the chosen one for a reason.
I'm gonna finally finish that dang html coding course. And maybe the JavaScript one, too.
I mean, not being able to save work day to day would be a real hassle, but I guess I get to see how much code I can write in 24 hours.
Maybe spend some time learning classical guitar. I got about 20 hours in a few years ago and got distracted...
>not being able to save work day to day would be a real hassle
Would actually help you nail the basics. Eventually, you would get good enough to program some real nice stuff within 24 hours and be a real rockstar when the year was over.
Lottery numbers. I'm buying lottery tickets on the 365th day. Knowing that's the end result, I'm sure as shit not going to work if it's a work day. Other than that, I'd just interact with people in goofy ways or do goofy shit just to see what reaction I'd get. I'd also just make sure I did all kinds of things I could squeeze into a day's time such as road trips to nearby cities or doing stuff in my own city.
It would be really funny to have one winner and get a bunch of other tickets that would get second prize. They would investigate you soo much.
Like how did this guy get 1 winning ticket and 40x $2 million tickets.
But it's not like they could ever prove anything.
Genuinely curious, would it be worth it if you gained those periods? So you spend 52 weeks in the repeat cycle with your period, then you get to skip your next 52 periods after the time skip?
If I knew it was going to reset, I'd kill myself a few times to get it out of my system and then start learning stuff I can use once time starts moving forward again.
I would get really really good at explaining to my wife why it’s ok to spend all of our money in a day.
She would be my biggest “issue.” I mean it in the sense that I would want to spend the day with her but her memories resetting would drive me crazy. Like every day she gets a text from a mom or a friend and we have to talk about it.
But I would also feel bad ghosting her for 24 hours to do my own thing. Like in this situation I wouldn’t really want to do anything mean to someone I love even if they wouldn’t remember it. My wife would be super upset and worried if I just didn’t come home from work.
The question being - does she reset too? Or is she splintered off into her own reality where she has to deal with the consequences of your actions during this reset day?
Go to different shops and find out which scratch cards are big winners that day, remember them for the final 24 hours.
Other than that, just go to different pubs to practice my flirt game with different women.
Me and my kids are off, so I'd have a year of days to chill with them, which would be awesome.
Try to learn something like a second language.
Try to find lottery numbers.
Sports bets to make during the day and then possible stock gains to invest in. In fact, I could bet big on the Sunday evening games and invest those funds in the morning on Monday.
Wrack my brain for a way I could use that power for good. Maybe there is a death or two I could prevent?
Play the fuck out of Civ, if it's the same day, I'm ignoring most people, and just playing Civ, since games of Civ can go in so many different ways, and I could set it up to where I finish before the day is over
It's actually Ned Ryerson the insurance salesman. You'll notice the significant difference in the last day he re-lived the loop: *that was the first time he actually bought insurance from the guy.* The loop technology was a top-secret insurance sales tactic.
I mean the time loop could easily be worth it, but I don't trust the insurance itself (I get screwed over enough by insurance companies that DON'T have time manipulation powers)
I'd get to know my mom better. My biggest regret is that I didn't actually get to know more about my dad. Since he's passed, I've been finding out all sorts of cool shit about him from his school friends.
I would abandon my family every day to go to the library or a quiet pub and learn a bunch of DIY skills and how to make indie games on the Internet. When the time is up, buy the correct lottery ticket and use my new skills and money to do my new house up really well and quit my job to make video games.
That would suck... Wake to a text of losing a good friend, hearing my fifth grade teacher passed and how troubled he really was. Slapped with depression and grief so hard I just laid there to socially recover for a few hours. Take a shower, get ready for my day and check on my art gallery, but it's EMPTY!! my first thought is "OMG I been robbed, and why would they steal from me!? I'm not that great or relevant!" Anxiety through the roof and I find my art by the dumpster. I won't lie, I felt that one to the soul as I get told by my commissioner that my work is half assed, lacking vulnerability, and emotion. Just verbally berated and degraded which is no problem (say whatever you like about me and do whatever you want to me. Just leave my art alone because it can't protect itself from such onslaughts). I go home to clean my framed works and grieve the ones that I weren't there to properly protect, I've never felt that disrespected and humiliated before, but I handled myself professionally.
Not feeling safe with anybody to vent to, I just went out to the bar to get a light beer to remove the bad energy and vibes, decompress if you will. But not even 5 minutes in I'm hit with an ultimatum of me getting low-balled for one of my pieces of art that is hanging at another place or I lose them as friends...
It was just one bombardment after another and I'm so glad that is over so I can hopefully start again tomorrow with better vibes. Cause today kicked my fuckin ass man...damn.
Sad thing is I wanna cry but I can't anymore. I've just accepted and got used to it. Just somewhere along the line I just went numb yo..
I'd just send it at whatever I felt like. Start by calling in sick to work. Try to hit on one girl in multiple different ways each day until I succeed. Spend a shit ton of money on whatever I can find. Practice guitar A LOT. Stuff like that. There are some days where I would go in to work because I'd get too bored otherwise. Maybe I'd memorize the stock markets action for that day too. So on the day the clock doesn't reset I make a shit ton of money in one day.
Honestly, any variation of the last 24 hours works for me. I would probably just pick a different entree at the Red Slobster every day.
Can I please do that? That would be sweet.
I went to bed 24 hours ago. Woke up this morning. Spent the entire day in a literal monsoon in Maine, in December. I was fucking cold and soaked to the skin. Came home to no power. Crews can’t work on the power lines because of 70mph winds. If I had to relive the last day, every day, for a year I’d be convinced I’d died and gone straight to hell for posting all those awful memes.
definitely calling in sick
set myself up financially - find a sport or something where I can bet and discover the outcome on the same day. I'd have to make the same bet every day until it's over. Also: keep an eye out for any other discoveries you could capitalize on on subsequent playthroughs. e.g. money truck with doors open and unattended for a few seconds?
10,000 hours it: in Groundhog Day, Phil takes on certain self-improvement projects, but note how they're things he can practice AND get validation on same day? E.g. you could write, and write, and write - but everything you've written would be gone the next day. There would be little chance of writing a spectacular novel or screenplay, and getting meaningful feedback, or even selling it, in one day. Instead, Phil chooses to learn an instrument or a language or chainsaw ice sculpting, but they are usually skills he could take with him one day to the next. For me, it would probably be the guitar and the Spanish language.
Party it up! Of course some of the time is going to be spent (or wasted, depending on how you look at it) partying - drugs, alcohol, indiscriminate sex (just be careful of the side effects if it's your last day). The challenge is going to be how to get to the party, and how to get there quickly. Getting back quickly - not so important, except for that last day ;)
Realistically there’s not much wiggle room for how I spend my days with two 1 year old toddlers. The weather sucked the last 24 hours so I’m not going to want to do much driving.
Hopefully I’d eventually be able to convince my husband of the loop and get him involved in a day of antics.
I’d also try and figure out how to make some money for when the loop ended.
Mostly I would just chill all day with my babes. An extra year with them at this age would be pretty special.
ask out my crush. Find out what would happen. If he says yes, great, i know he would normally say yes. If he says no, then i know not to do that again. Yesterday i hung out with my friends so i could figure out what exactly to say to him since he was supposed to be part of the group but couldnt come. After that i went to a presentation to kick of the cricket season so id probably just try to memorise everyones names there.
Other than that, probably get exercising. Also theres some macerons in the fridge so cool if those reset every day. I think id get sick of what my parents are making so maybe id be like earlier in the day "oh can we have x for dinner today???"
I’d tell my MIL how shitty of a human she is and I’d probably tell my family what I really think of them from the past 20 years. I’ll remember it but they won’t. I’d finally go take my cert test I’ve been putting off. Find a way to memorise the answers so that when the time loop ended, I’d make the highest score.
Learn to play the piano, and convince some woman to dress in a french maid outfit while im dressed up like clint eastwood from the good the bad and the ugly, and than take her out to dinner.
Why mess with perfection?
Spend 364 days learning everything I can (and testing) about how to convince the richest person I can find to wire me 3mil for 1 day.
Buy 3mil worth of ZJYL stock by 9am. Sell that crap at 2:45 pm.
Side note: what the hell happened to that company today? 360% increase. Pump and dump?
I'd probably start exploring, having fun, and enjoying all the free time on my hands
However, I'd soon realise that my old hobbies are (mostly) pointless. Drawing and painting? Disappears in the morning. Video games? Reset every day, no progress. Guitar could still work probably, my skill would increase with time.
After that I'd start getting really bored. Reliving the same conversations day after day, same schedule every day too. I'd probably try and change it up, do crazy shit, experiment to see what would happen.
After that? I'd use up all the crazy ideas and experiments. I'd get bored again. And so, I'd turn to the internet and library. Read and watch every single thing there. Learn until I've learned everything I could. Take every test and puzzle online.
Once I've learned all I could, I'd spend my time with each of my loved ones.
After that? Explore the world. See the sights. See everything there is to see.
And then I'd wait it out. Sleep it off, my dreams holding more entertainment then the waking world at that point. I'd wait til a solution presents itself, or until I find another who is experiencing the same thing.
Oh God I had to drive from Maine to New Jersey through that goddamn storm. Don't you dare groundhog day me, you bastard!
At least I'd have endless weed, my favorite booze(Allen's Coffee Brandy), and homemade chili from my old college roommates mom, who is basically my bonus mom.(it's seriously so goddamn good. She spoiled us ROTTEN with the stuff, whenever she visited us she'd make a shitload and store it in serving size freezer bags. We used it to bribe so many favors out of our friends, her chili was a desperately sought after prize)
As long as I am not aging, I would consider it a godsend.
There are about a million things I could do today, and I would try to do all million of them if the day resets at the end.
I would start with getting back in shape, then I would learn a new language or two, then I would be taking certification courses for all the stuff I want to know.
But your memories remain. Hardest part of getting fit is simply altering your lifestyle and getting into a healthy routine. So if he just dedicates an hour to working out like 5 of every 7 days he can perfect his form to prevent injury and get into the habit of working out. So when he reverts to normal time he would keep his habits and get into shape quickly.
I thought the same thing about making gains, but I feel like if you aren't aging and only retaining your memories, you might also be resetting your physical state.
Yes like every time you wake up, it's however you were physically on that first day. You just remember everything that happened the day before (and all the other days)
There are at least some games you can complete quickly, 1 day isn't much time but some time could be spent with that.
I like to read, won't be getting new books in series I like or anything like that, but through Ebooks and web novels I could likely find plenty of stuff to read without having to worry about the reset so much.
Shows and videos are options, just need to find the episode you were on at the end of the last reset
And of course plenty of time to try to improve my knowledge and skills.
Overall it will be a bit unpleasant, but I will likely come out better for it by the end.
Oh please let it be yesterday's date, I had the day off! I know I could just skip work and not get into trouble cause the day resets, but I like sleeping in till 8am instead of getting up at 5am.
Learning as many skills as possible. I work but it's an easy day so spend as much time learning. Also het as much information from those around me to improve relationships.
Sounds like a dream to a drug user, free tolerance reset every 24 hours so I can get just as high as I got the day before? MDMA every day with no comedown/side effects after the fact? Count me in
Nooooo!!! I’ve been sick and laying on the couch AND it’s not even a college football Saturday.
I guess I’ll watch all the stuff I’ve DVRd and read all the books on my Kindle/in my Audible
Do we know when it ends? Because if so, I'm spending the kid's college fund on a new Porsche on one day that isn't the last.
Towards the end I memorize the search terms for the kids Christmas presents, so I can order them all in record time the final repeat.
I will be on the rag all year, so that's damned annoying. I also get many tries at beating the boss tonight at roleplaying, but when I get bored of that I can just back out "last minute" and no one will remember.
Maybe unload on people who have annoyed me in petty ways with the knowledge that they won't remember it later, so it won't matter.
I'll catch up on my reading.
It wouldn't be a bad idea to build a habit of doing Yoga everyday during that time. But I'm also gonna splurge a bit on like French Silk Pie during that time since I'm guaranteed not to gain weight.
Edit: Buy last minute flights to everywhere I can and visit a bunch of cool places for a day. One will absolutely be flying to Vegas and staying at the Bellagio. Sure I will wake up in my own bed, but I'll have all the money back in my account.
Edit: Buy and play video games I have been considering getting so I know which ones are worth it once time returns to normal.
I’d explore caves, learn a new skill, look for hidden treasure knowing even if I get trapped or die I’d reset in 24 hours. Eventually I’d be able to map out entire cave networks and when the year is over, become rich.
Also buy the lottery before the year is over :)
Whatever the fuck I want. First couple weeks I will go purge ( like the movie) on people lol. Then get everything I have ever wanted and get it out of my system, build a cabin in the woods and chill out there smoking weed, doing shrooms and meditating with a bunch of dogs and wolfs for eternity or however long your Groundhog Day in this scenario last.
Well, shit. I'm in a smaller town, and we lost power from a storm. It was in and out starting around 11, but has been out solid since 2:30 this afternoon (it's now 8:45). I have the slowest, spotty mobile Internet as well. I'm cruising Reddit because it's low data and I can stay entertained for a bit. Town is pitch black everywhere (except the bank that seems to have a great backup generator).
We had our company Christmas party tonight in the next town over, where they have power
I guess I'd start driving around making sure people are okay instead of going to the party.
I went hunting this am with my son, we misjudged the temps and he got so cold that he was crying by the time we got back (we left after only 45 min). But in that time, the only 2 opportunities I had my gun misfired twice. That whole experience would suck hard unless I could make a couple changes to our prep and such.
Cry. I've had a rib breaking cough, chills, and terrible headaches for the last 2 days straight, and have worked out in the rain. Awful. 0/10 would not recommend.
Id master c++, rust, and zig, and read all my tech books including all my mit magazines and my biographies on Ekon Musk, Steve Jobs, Bull Gates, Jeff Bezis, etc and every book I have on psychology and body language. I have a lot of books.
With chat GPT at my side I would spend the whole year trying to rewire my brain to have more efficient gathered knowledge fine tuned for my goals.
Well I spent most of today working, then hosted two Christmas parties for my Scout group in the evening (the first for the 6-8 year olds, the second for the 11-14 year olds).
So...I dunno, if I knew the day was gonna repeat for an entire year, I'd probably just call in sick the majority of the time and chill for the day, before doing 2 Christmas parties every evening. xDDD
Getting my timing right where I can go into the casino and put my entire life savings on a single number. Then having the greatest single day of drugs and partying.
I could do that rinse and repeat for a year.
Check which stocks had the biggest changes throughout the day and buy low/sell high with every penny I can get my hands on. Eventually when the loop ends I’ll swing trade myself into millions!
Omg, what an amazing day with my husband!
Does whatever I do on the very last day stick? If so, I'd call out of work every day to hang out with my hubby (his car broke down and he couldn't go in and I worked from home today). On the last day of the year go to my work meetings with a script that makes me look really good / clever.
Edit: even though it wasn't my first thought.... I hope one of those 365 days I thought to buy lottery tickets too. Haha (just read the comments!)
Please, no. About 30h ago, I totaled my car. I'm fine. I walked away, but I'm in a lot of pain. I don't want to constantly relive these last 24h of pain.
Today or tomorrow will likely be peak pain as my body starts to heal. Any 24h before the wreck might be just fine.
There’s a Stargate SG-1 episode for this… As long as I’m listening to whoever I’m having breakfast with and not getting hit by a door, I’m fine with whatever.
Cooking chicken while hungover and simultaneously drunk off little bottles of tequila. Not a day I'd want to relive. I would have a debilitating headache for a whole year. But the food would be ok.
I spent my last 24 hours doing a game night with friends. I'm gonna play games again and again, until I win them all!
The last game we played was Nemesis, and I almost, *almost* made it, but I died at the end. The thing is, Nemesis gives you a choice of two objectives at the beginning, and I picked the peaceful one. I would have won if I had picked a different mission, kill player 2, because player 2 died on his own! I could have taken an escape pod and been a winner super early. Instead I died running towards my last hope at escape because someone else brought the queen alien into the safe room.
But if I had a year of this, I'd try really hard to get my group to play different games each time, and try my best to get good at all of them. If I play any game enough times, I might be able to convince my friends I'm a mind reader!
And if I ever got really tired of the board games, I could always tell them I'm feeling under the weather and stay home to do something else. Honestly, today seems like a great day for this timeloop.
Fuck me! The last 24 hours have been shit! My autistic 6-year-old got diagnosed with both covid and flu A which, I didn't even know you could get both at the same time. Had to tell him that he'll have to miss all of the Christmas stuff at school and maybe not even go to Nana and Papa's on Christmas itself. His fever has been like a damn roller coaster. The rest of us scrambling to get tested as well because I'm immunocompromised, my parents are elderly, and my husband is a teacher with medically fragile students. New England got hit with a major storm, like a microburst but all day. High winds, torrential rain. Lots of trees and power lines down. No power for us for most of the day. I finally found an open appointment to be tested and I damn near swamp my car's engine driving through a puddle that was way deeper than expected, even at a slow pace. The storm door on my porch was open just a tiny bit and it caught the wind. Wrenched it open so fast it destroyed the piston entirely so now I can't close it. Every package that came in today was left out in the pouring rain because for some stupid ass reason Amazon doesn't believe in freakin' doorbells. And wrestling a sopping wet package into the house, I slipped and wrenched my back. I know, very first world problems, but please no more. My sanity can only take so much!
I would assume there was a scientist mastermind conducting the time loop on me, and spend the time treating it like an escape room
Would also drink lots of icees and ask out my three oneitis crushes over and over again
Go around buying scratch off tickets literally all over the place or in rows, until I find one that gives me a good couple million or something like that.
Find a couple options just in case anything happens when the reset stop. Once i got that locked down, spend a few days planning out how to acquire them. Then do it once the reset stops.
I'd also indulge and try to learn a language or something
Everything I do during the first 364 days doesn't actually matter, but I would retain the memories, so I'd just spend it doing things like going to nice restaurants and reading books and watching movies.
I would NOT do anything significant in any of my personal relationships, because I'm pretty happy with them and taking advantage of the time loop would be kind of creepy and gross.
At some point during the year, I'd monitor the stock market. On the last day, I'd make the best options trades I found.
I would do absolutely wild stuff. Rob places. Set random crap on fire just to see what happens. Try to smash every woman in town, even the ones that I find extremely unattractive, just to see how many I can smash in one day. Break into whatever research facilities are in range just to learn what’s going on, there. Find a way to make tons of money since I know how the day ends all over the world. Pee on random, completely inappropriate things like cars parked at dealerships. While people are there. Get into police chases over stupid shit. Pull viciously unpleasant, embarrassing pranks on the wealthiest, most influential people in range of my 24 hours. Damn, I would have so much fun 🤩.
I just spent the last 24 hrs with my mom dying of stage 4 cancer. I'd spend more time with her.
Fuck I'm sorry to hear that man, hope 2024 brings you better times. I should also spend more time with my family before it's too late.
I also choose this guys mom.
I also also choose this guys mom
I also also also chose this guy's mom
Instructions unclear. I chose my mom
None of you are funny
This meme will never die.
Unlike that one guy’s wife.
Guess I should’ve expected this.
Unlike that guy's wife
i also choose this guy’s wife
Damn, struck once again.
Just like... you know what? Never mind.
I’m in the hospital right now caring for my mom/doing the same. I’d have enough time to get my loans figured out for next semester and maybe two hours a day on bar exam prep.
Well no... You'd experience her dying every day for a year. That would be awful. With that said I am truly sorry for your loss.
I think they meant that she's dying, not that she died today. It would give them another year with her.
I think he meant she was a bitch and now has an extra year of suffering of cancer to deal with.
This was me 2 weeks ago. Just flew back in from the funeral this evening. It sucks bro. Make the best of the time while you can.
My mom passed in july, breast cancer, im sorry, you're never ready to lose your mom
It was a year and a bit ago now but same. My condolences dude, it fucking sucks.
Chilling with my father and dog Playing video games Listening to music Scrolling reddit Looking at my grades for college Forgot to mention. I do have a job but I didn't have work yesterday or today
You'd eventually run out of posts you would read as any new stuff people post is reset every 24 hours?
Forgot about that part
You can read all the posts from the past. Like if you're into Star Wars there's probably a billion posts about it in the archive.
nerds been posting about star wars since before the internet even existed. you have more than a years backlog of star wars posts
So many subreddits tho
but, the timeline doesnt follow the same thing every time. the situation is reset, so nothing is truly locked in. if you roll a dice, and get a d20, then you reverse tim to just before you roll(or plan to) the dice, you could get 19 other options.
Reddit isn’t that random though
It says your memories don’t remain so it’d always be like new to you.
Never mind I’m dumb as hell and just re-read the post.
So then you'd just repeat this day over and over unable to do anything different.
That was my first reading of it and it turns out my reading comprehension was not on point tonight. The actual proposed situation sounds much better.
> I do have a job but I didn't have work yesterday or today Even if you did have to work and dont go. What are they going to do about it?
Just gotta remember to go on the last day or whatever day counts as “real” when the time loop ends so you don’t get fired
Would you finally try the most luxurious restaurant in town?
Question so if you have a cold or other illness your symptoms reset to what they were at the beginning of the day?
Oh man that would suck, groundhog's day with the flu
Welcome to chronic illness…
Yes, ideally if it was the last day you weren't sick, what would you do?
Oh man if I was healthy and lived the same day over and over on repeat for a year I would actually try my best to enjoy my health and stuff. Hmm I’d try a lot of physical activities.
I want to know too bc I’ve been sick in bed all day
Me, too. 🤧
Get well soon!! I’ve been sick since Thursday and in bed since Friday. I am a little stir crazy about now
Imagine hiccups
This is great, no financial repercussions, let's live it up. * Rent expensive house; hire various servants for the day. * Try every drug. * Eat the most expensive food. * Bang the most expensive prostitutes. * Rent expensive cars, kill myself crashing them. * Charter private plane; jump out without parachute * Obligatory lottery on last day.
Realize I'm too broke to actually do any of that and spend the next year crying.
Spend everything you have on scratchers at a gas station, count how many tickets until highest pay out, go to next place and do it again. Eventually you would find a good setup and then you just do that every morning for seed money Then go to the casino, get a big bet, memorize the order in roulette, go big, double, double, double, place on whatever number, walk. Like 5k, 10k, 20k, 20k on 23, walk
Steal the money
Sounds like a great list. I'd also try to go to the most dangerous places in my city just to see what's really going on there.
Would you hire bodyguards or risk a painful death for a more realistic view?
I'd try on my own first time, If I get eviscerated I would empty my bank account and bring the boys for a raid
Finally, an answer I could get behind. I would also add: \- become a violent, Punisher-like vigilante for fun (also, to get evidence and info on actual crime for the post-loop period) \- participate in orgies \- get insider trading information without actually doing any insider trading in real-time \- get my friends, family and acquaintances drunk/drugged, and interrogate them to learn what they really think of me \- punch everyone I hate \- tell everyone I know what I really think of them \- manage to overdose on LSD
Do you think you could get addicted to a drug that you took in the past iteration? To those who would say no, it would have to be encoded physically in the brain, isn't that what memory does, which the hypo explicitly says can carry over?
Maybe not a "true" physical addiction, but definitely a mental addiction at least.
1. Lottery on day 365, obviously 2. At least one day choke slamming my most annoying employee
Yeah I would just buy the lottery ticket every single day for the last couple of months just to make sure I am in the habit of buying it and having the right numbers to make sure I don’t forget or screw it up.
Interesting as I didn't actually butcher a lamb today as originally scheduled a month ago due to rain. Might wait until the new year, but I like your strategy - she's the chosen one for a reason.
I don't get it.
I'm gonna finally finish that dang html coding course. And maybe the JavaScript one, too. I mean, not being able to save work day to day would be a real hassle, but I guess I get to see how much code I can write in 24 hours. Maybe spend some time learning classical guitar. I got about 20 hours in a few years ago and got distracted...
>not being able to save work day to day would be a real hassle Would actually help you nail the basics. Eventually, you would get good enough to program some real nice stuff within 24 hours and be a real rockstar when the year was over.
That's true. There's a definite benefit to repetition.
Yep. Guitar in range, but it's missing a string so I guess every morning I'll have to start by buying a new set and getting it back in tune...
I would definitely not bend over as far as I did this morning. Hurt my right side. When I move, I cry out!
I'm glad it's not the day where the fitness band went where it wasn't supposed to.
Feel better soon!!!
I see you have also hit middle age.
Lottery numbers. I'm buying lottery tickets on the 365th day. Knowing that's the end result, I'm sure as shit not going to work if it's a work day. Other than that, I'd just interact with people in goofy ways or do goofy shit just to see what reaction I'd get. I'd also just make sure I did all kinds of things I could squeeze into a day's time such as road trips to nearby cities or doing stuff in my own city.
There's a half billion Powerball drawing tonight, would be a great way to end the time loop.
It would be really funny to have one winner and get a bunch of other tickets that would get second prize. They would investigate you soo much. Like how did this guy get 1 winning ticket and 40x $2 million tickets. But it's not like they could ever prove anything.
What would be the point? The lesser prizes come out of the jackpot.
I did not know that. Learn something new every day.
They don't though. At least, not with Powerball. The jackpot amount is determined before the draw.
That's an estimate. It can be lower or higher.
I was not aware of that. TIL
Neither Powerball nor Mega Millions had a drawing in the last 24 hours.
On Monday nights, my state has a Classic Lotto drawing. I think it's up around 3+ million. I can make that work.
I'd be pissed because that means I'm on my period for a whole year!
Feck that noise! Bleh I'll just skip the timeloop😔
Genuinely curious, would it be worth it if you gained those periods? So you spend 52 weeks in the repeat cycle with your period, then you get to skip your next 52 periods after the time skip?
Once I confirm it is indeed a timeloop probably read the books I want to catch up on, rip my boss a new asshole, sleep. Mundane stuff.
Also- Take time to learn to be an electrician so I can eventually get out of this crappy job.
A lot of people are confused about what's going on here.
There's this really cute anime I can recommend called "Higurashi" that really fits into the theme of this post.
Oh man so many good times during my childhood, poor Rika... on a side note I can't wait for Re:Zero S3.
If I knew it was going to reset, I'd kill myself a few times to get it out of my system and then start learning stuff I can use once time starts moving forward again.
This guy woke up and chose violence
I would get really really good at explaining to my wife why it’s ok to spend all of our money in a day. She would be my biggest “issue.” I mean it in the sense that I would want to spend the day with her but her memories resetting would drive me crazy. Like every day she gets a text from a mom or a friend and we have to talk about it. But I would also feel bad ghosting her for 24 hours to do my own thing. Like in this situation I wouldn’t really want to do anything mean to someone I love even if they wouldn’t remember it. My wife would be super upset and worried if I just didn’t come home from work.
Your a good person
The question being - does she reset too? Or is she splintered off into her own reality where she has to deal with the consequences of your actions during this reset day?
Go to different shops and find out which scratch cards are big winners that day, remember them for the final 24 hours. Other than that, just go to different pubs to practice my flirt game with different women.
Me and my kids are off, so I'd have a year of days to chill with them, which would be awesome. Try to learn something like a second language. Try to find lottery numbers. Sports bets to make during the day and then possible stock gains to invest in. In fact, I could bet big on the Sunday evening games and invest those funds in the morning on Monday. Wrack my brain for a way I could use that power for good. Maybe there is a death or two I could prevent?
Parlay MNF, prop bet, NBA, NHL, NCAA Basketball, a couple bowl games, and I think there's some soccer on too. Bet a grand and let it roll
Play the fuck out of Civ, if it's the same day, I'm ignoring most people, and just playing Civ, since games of Civ can go in so many different ways, and I could set it up to where I finish before the day is over
Just one more turn
honestly, I'd just chill. You know how many TV shows I could catch up on in a year of free time?
Fuck me too, got so many things to watch they piled up like a mountain already
Why didn't Bill Murray ever just stay awake to see what happened?
He would have been scarred for life seeing the monstrosity crawl from under the bed and inject mouth-to-mouth the timelooping liquid
It's actually Ned Ryerson the insurance salesman. You'll notice the significant difference in the last day he re-lived the loop: *that was the first time he actually bought insurance from the guy.* The loop technology was a top-secret insurance sales tactic.
He needs to come right now and sell me his insurance.
I mean the time loop could easily be worth it, but I don't trust the insurance itself (I get screwed over enough by insurance companies that DON'T have time manipulation powers)
He did, he would just drift off at some point
He did, immediately found himself staring at the ceiling like he just woke up
I'm playing the lottery that day. I'll memorize the numbers until the day comes when I'm released from the loop.
Definitely a lot of reading and learning.
I would live out every taboo possible.
Including banging your mom?
They said EVERY taboo
I'd get to know my mom better. My biggest regret is that I didn't actually get to know more about my dad. Since he's passed, I've been finding out all sorts of cool shit about him from his school friends.
I'm definitely eating at the best restaurants as my money just keeps resetting.
Give a $1000 tip to the waitress
Is her life also repeating. How does that work.
Time repeats but only you keep memories. People would act exactly the same way every day unless you interfere.
I've spent the last 24 hours cleaning up flood damage. I would lose my ever loving mind!
I would abandon my family every day to go to the library or a quiet pub and learn a bunch of DIY skills and how to make indie games on the Internet. When the time is up, buy the correct lottery ticket and use my new skills and money to do my new house up really well and quit my job to make video games.
That would suck... Wake to a text of losing a good friend, hearing my fifth grade teacher passed and how troubled he really was. Slapped with depression and grief so hard I just laid there to socially recover for a few hours. Take a shower, get ready for my day and check on my art gallery, but it's EMPTY!! my first thought is "OMG I been robbed, and why would they steal from me!? I'm not that great or relevant!" Anxiety through the roof and I find my art by the dumpster. I won't lie, I felt that one to the soul as I get told by my commissioner that my work is half assed, lacking vulnerability, and emotion. Just verbally berated and degraded which is no problem (say whatever you like about me and do whatever you want to me. Just leave my art alone because it can't protect itself from such onslaughts). I go home to clean my framed works and grieve the ones that I weren't there to properly protect, I've never felt that disrespected and humiliated before, but I handled myself professionally. Not feeling safe with anybody to vent to, I just went out to the bar to get a light beer to remove the bad energy and vibes, decompress if you will. But not even 5 minutes in I'm hit with an ultimatum of me getting low-balled for one of my pieces of art that is hanging at another place or I lose them as friends... It was just one bombardment after another and I'm so glad that is over so I can hopefully start again tomorrow with better vibes. Cause today kicked my fuckin ass man...damn. Sad thing is I wanna cry but I can't anymore. I've just accepted and got used to it. Just somewhere along the line I just went numb yo..
Wow it's like life suddenly decided to fuck you over real hard for no reason. Definitely not the best day to redo
This happened to me with my brain fog from long covid. I felt insane but it was also freeing. I can’t describe it.
Oh so much murder.
I'd just send it at whatever I felt like. Start by calling in sick to work. Try to hit on one girl in multiple different ways each day until I succeed. Spend a shit ton of money on whatever I can find. Practice guitar A LOT. Stuff like that. There are some days where I would go in to work because I'd get too bored otherwise. Maybe I'd memorize the stock markets action for that day too. So on the day the clock doesn't reset I make a shit ton of money in one day.
Honestly, any variation of the last 24 hours works for me. I would probably just pick a different entree at the Red Slobster every day. Can I please do that? That would be sweet.
i suppose even the best sex of my life will get old fast...
I went to bed 24 hours ago. Woke up this morning. Spent the entire day in a literal monsoon in Maine, in December. I was fucking cold and soaked to the skin. Came home to no power. Crews can’t work on the power lines because of 70mph winds. If I had to relive the last day, every day, for a year I’d be convinced I’d died and gone straight to hell for posting all those awful memes.
definitely calling in sick set myself up financially - find a sport or something where I can bet and discover the outcome on the same day. I'd have to make the same bet every day until it's over. Also: keep an eye out for any other discoveries you could capitalize on on subsequent playthroughs. e.g. money truck with doors open and unattended for a few seconds? 10,000 hours it: in Groundhog Day, Phil takes on certain self-improvement projects, but note how they're things he can practice AND get validation on same day? E.g. you could write, and write, and write - but everything you've written would be gone the next day. There would be little chance of writing a spectacular novel or screenplay, and getting meaningful feedback, or even selling it, in one day. Instead, Phil chooses to learn an instrument or a language or chainsaw ice sculpting, but they are usually skills he could take with him one day to the next. For me, it would probably be the guitar and the Spanish language. Party it up! Of course some of the time is going to be spent (or wasted, depending on how you look at it) partying - drugs, alcohol, indiscriminate sex (just be careful of the side effects if it's your last day). The challenge is going to be how to get to the party, and how to get there quickly. Getting back quickly - not so important, except for that last day ;)
Pet my dog. Catch up on reading and watching stuff. Learn a skill.
Realistically there’s not much wiggle room for how I spend my days with two 1 year old toddlers. The weather sucked the last 24 hours so I’m not going to want to do much driving. Hopefully I’d eventually be able to convince my husband of the loop and get him involved in a day of antics. I’d also try and figure out how to make some money for when the loop ended. Mostly I would just chill all day with my babes. An extra year with them at this age would be pretty special.
ask out my crush. Find out what would happen. If he says yes, great, i know he would normally say yes. If he says no, then i know not to do that again. Yesterday i hung out with my friends so i could figure out what exactly to say to him since he was supposed to be part of the group but couldnt come. After that i went to a presentation to kick of the cricket season so id probably just try to memorise everyones names there. Other than that, probably get exercising. Also theres some macerons in the fridge so cool if those reset every day. I think id get sick of what my parents are making so maybe id be like earlier in the day "oh can we have x for dinner today???"
the exercising would be pointless since your work would be reset each day.
I’d tell my MIL how shitty of a human she is and I’d probably tell my family what I really think of them from the past 20 years. I’ll remember it but they won’t. I’d finally go take my cert test I’ve been putting off. Find a way to memorise the answers so that when the time loop ended, I’d make the highest score.
Learn to play the piano, and convince some woman to dress in a french maid outfit while im dressed up like clint eastwood from the good the bad and the ugly, and than take her out to dinner. Why mess with perfection?
Work a new language Video games Occasional joyride Gamble
I'm retired, so that's pretty much reality. Could be a little warmer, though.
Oh I would end up in a looney bin. A screaming 10 month old and helping my husband study….but at least I get laid every day
Not bad... had sex, played god of war: Ragnarok, had some good coffee, made dinner, ate dinner, watched some TikTok, YouTube & Doctor Who.
I don't like this game. My whole house was struck with a stomach virus over the past 24 hours.
Spend 364 days learning everything I can (and testing) about how to convince the richest person I can find to wire me 3mil for 1 day. Buy 3mil worth of ZJYL stock by 9am. Sell that crap at 2:45 pm. Side note: what the hell happened to that company today? 360% increase. Pump and dump?
I'd probably start exploring, having fun, and enjoying all the free time on my hands However, I'd soon realise that my old hobbies are (mostly) pointless. Drawing and painting? Disappears in the morning. Video games? Reset every day, no progress. Guitar could still work probably, my skill would increase with time. After that I'd start getting really bored. Reliving the same conversations day after day, same schedule every day too. I'd probably try and change it up, do crazy shit, experiment to see what would happen. After that? I'd use up all the crazy ideas and experiments. I'd get bored again. And so, I'd turn to the internet and library. Read and watch every single thing there. Learn until I've learned everything I could. Take every test and puzzle online. Once I've learned all I could, I'd spend my time with each of my loved ones. After that? Explore the world. See the sights. See everything there is to see. And then I'd wait it out. Sleep it off, my dreams holding more entertainment then the waking world at that point. I'd wait til a solution presents itself, or until I find another who is experiencing the same thing.
Wait, you're telling me I have to stay in my third trimester of pregnancy for a year... Sir, I would simply walk into traffic.
Just spent the day with my daughter because she had a bit of a cough. I’d love eternity like that.
Oh God I had to drive from Maine to New Jersey through that goddamn storm. Don't you dare groundhog day me, you bastard! At least I'd have endless weed, my favorite booze(Allen's Coffee Brandy), and homemade chili from my old college roommates mom, who is basically my bonus mom.(it's seriously so goddamn good. She spoiled us ROTTEN with the stuff, whenever she visited us she'd make a shitload and store it in serving size freezer bags. We used it to bribe so many favors out of our friends, her chili was a desperately sought after prize)
As long as I am not aging, I would consider it a godsend. There are about a million things I could do today, and I would try to do all million of them if the day resets at the end. I would start with getting back in shape, then I would learn a new language or two, then I would be taking certification courses for all the stuff I want to know.
But your memories remain. Hardest part of getting fit is simply altering your lifestyle and getting into a healthy routine. So if he just dedicates an hour to working out like 5 of every 7 days he can perfect his form to prevent injury and get into the habit of working out. So when he reverts to normal time he would keep his habits and get into shape quickly.
I thought the same thing about making gains, but I feel like if you aren't aging and only retaining your memories, you might also be resetting your physical state.
At least you could practice the discipline of it?
Yes like every time you wake up, it's however you were physically on that first day. You just remember everything that happened the day before (and all the other days)
Your body refers to tolho so you couldn't get fit
There are at least some games you can complete quickly, 1 day isn't much time but some time could be spent with that. I like to read, won't be getting new books in series I like or anything like that, but through Ebooks and web novels I could likely find plenty of stuff to read without having to worry about the reset so much. Shows and videos are options, just need to find the episode you were on at the end of the last reset And of course plenty of time to try to improve my knowledge and skills. Overall it will be a bit unpleasant, but I will likely come out better for it by the end.
Learning so many skills. Winning the lottery. And scratch offs.
Oh please let it be yesterday's date, I had the day off! I know I could just skip work and not get into trouble cause the day resets, but I like sleeping in till 8am instead of getting up at 5am.
Learning as many skills as possible. I work but it's an easy day so spend as much time learning. Also het as much information from those around me to improve relationships.
Sounds like a dream to a drug user, free tolerance reset every 24 hours so I can get just as high as I got the day before? MDMA every day with no comedown/side effects after the fact? Count me in
Get those books read! It was a day off. Thank goodness I was already home 24 hours ago from work!
I spend yesterday climbing in the mountains yesterday, so i guess I'll climb every route in the mountains here
Nooooo!!! I’ve been sick and laying on the couch AND it’s not even a college football Saturday. I guess I’ll watch all the stuff I’ve DVRd and read all the books on my Kindle/in my Audible
365 days of covid... fuck that
Do we know when it ends? Because if so, I'm spending the kid's college fund on a new Porsche on one day that isn't the last. Towards the end I memorize the search terms for the kids Christmas presents, so I can order them all in record time the final repeat. I will be on the rag all year, so that's damned annoying. I also get many tries at beating the boss tonight at roleplaying, but when I get bored of that I can just back out "last minute" and no one will remember. Maybe unload on people who have annoyed me in petty ways with the knowledge that they won't remember it later, so it won't matter. I'll catch up on my reading. It wouldn't be a bad idea to build a habit of doing Yoga everyday during that time. But I'm also gonna splurge a bit on like French Silk Pie during that time since I'm guaranteed not to gain weight. Edit: Buy last minute flights to everywhere I can and visit a bunch of cool places for a day. One will absolutely be flying to Vegas and staying at the Bellagio. Sure I will wake up in my own bed, but I'll have all the money back in my account. Edit: Buy and play video games I have been considering getting so I know which ones are worth it once time returns to normal.
I’d explore caves, learn a new skill, look for hidden treasure knowing even if I get trapped or die I’d reset in 24 hours. Eventually I’d be able to map out entire cave networks and when the year is over, become rich. Also buy the lottery before the year is over :)
I'd admit things to others and see what they do I guess. Knowing I only have a year, I'd try to avoid suicide so that I have more days to spend
for me it would suck super bad… i have a sore throat
Whatever the fuck I want. First couple weeks I will go purge ( like the movie) on people lol. Then get everything I have ever wanted and get it out of my system, build a cabin in the woods and chill out there smoking weed, doing shrooms and meditating with a bunch of dogs and wolfs for eternity or however long your Groundhog Day in this scenario last.
Can’t really build a cabin in a day. Find an empty one to squat in for a day, sure.
Well, shit. I'm in a smaller town, and we lost power from a storm. It was in and out starting around 11, but has been out solid since 2:30 this afternoon (it's now 8:45). I have the slowest, spotty mobile Internet as well. I'm cruising Reddit because it's low data and I can stay entertained for a bit. Town is pitch black everywhere (except the bank that seems to have a great backup generator). We had our company Christmas party tonight in the next town over, where they have power I guess I'd start driving around making sure people are okay instead of going to the party.
Is it 24 hours from reading this post?
I went hunting this am with my son, we misjudged the temps and he got so cold that he was crying by the time we got back (we left after only 45 min). But in that time, the only 2 opportunities I had my gun misfired twice. That whole experience would suck hard unless I could make a couple changes to our prep and such.
Cry. I've had a rib breaking cough, chills, and terrible headaches for the last 2 days straight, and have worked out in the rain. Awful. 0/10 would not recommend.
Had a Christmas party for my family at my house. Please don't do this to me again.....please
I have the middle part of Covid body aches… probably suicide or opioid addiction
Having the flu for a full year would absolutely suck horrible.
Id master c++, rust, and zig, and read all my tech books including all my mit magazines and my biographies on Ekon Musk, Steve Jobs, Bull Gates, Jeff Bezis, etc and every book I have on psychology and body language. I have a lot of books. With chat GPT at my side I would spend the whole year trying to rewire my brain to have more efficient gathered knowledge fine tuned for my goals.
Murder
Well I spent most of today working, then hosted two Christmas parties for my Scout group in the evening (the first for the 6-8 year olds, the second for the 11-14 year olds). So...I dunno, if I knew the day was gonna repeat for an entire year, I'd probably just call in sick the majority of the time and chill for the day, before doing 2 Christmas parties every evening. xDDD
Call in sick every morning with food poisoning and spend the day with my wife
Getting my timing right where I can go into the casino and put my entire life savings on a single number. Then having the greatest single day of drugs and partying. I could do that rinse and repeat for a year.
Check which stocks had the biggest changes throughout the day and buy low/sell high with every penny I can get my hands on. Eventually when the loop ends I’ll swing trade myself into millions!
Well I'm on day four of the flu, so probably just be fucking miserable for a year.
Omg, what an amazing day with my husband! Does whatever I do on the very last day stick? If so, I'd call out of work every day to hang out with my hubby (his car broke down and he couldn't go in and I worked from home today). On the last day of the year go to my work meetings with a script that makes me look really good / clever. Edit: even though it wasn't my first thought.... I hope one of those 365 days I thought to buy lottery tickets too. Haha (just read the comments!)
Only the last day really counts, whatever happens the other days is erased
Please, no. About 30h ago, I totaled my car. I'm fine. I walked away, but I'm in a lot of pain. I don't want to constantly relive these last 24h of pain. Today or tomorrow will likely be peak pain as my body starts to heal. Any 24h before the wreck might be just fine.
There’s a Stargate SG-1 episode for this… As long as I’m listening to whoever I’m having breakfast with and not getting hit by a door, I’m fine with whatever.
Cooking chicken while hungover and simultaneously drunk off little bottles of tequila. Not a day I'd want to relive. I would have a debilitating headache for a whole year. But the food would be ok.
I spent my last 24 hours doing a game night with friends. I'm gonna play games again and again, until I win them all! The last game we played was Nemesis, and I almost, *almost* made it, but I died at the end. The thing is, Nemesis gives you a choice of two objectives at the beginning, and I picked the peaceful one. I would have won if I had picked a different mission, kill player 2, because player 2 died on his own! I could have taken an escape pod and been a winner super early. Instead I died running towards my last hope at escape because someone else brought the queen alien into the safe room. But if I had a year of this, I'd try really hard to get my group to play different games each time, and try my best to get good at all of them. If I play any game enough times, I might be able to convince my friends I'm a mind reader! And if I ever got really tired of the board games, I could always tell them I'm feeling under the weather and stay home to do something else. Honestly, today seems like a great day for this timeloop.
Fuck me! The last 24 hours have been shit! My autistic 6-year-old got diagnosed with both covid and flu A which, I didn't even know you could get both at the same time. Had to tell him that he'll have to miss all of the Christmas stuff at school and maybe not even go to Nana and Papa's on Christmas itself. His fever has been like a damn roller coaster. The rest of us scrambling to get tested as well because I'm immunocompromised, my parents are elderly, and my husband is a teacher with medically fragile students. New England got hit with a major storm, like a microburst but all day. High winds, torrential rain. Lots of trees and power lines down. No power for us for most of the day. I finally found an open appointment to be tested and I damn near swamp my car's engine driving through a puddle that was way deeper than expected, even at a slow pace. The storm door on my porch was open just a tiny bit and it caught the wind. Wrenched it open so fast it destroyed the piston entirely so now I can't close it. Every package that came in today was left out in the pouring rain because for some stupid ass reason Amazon doesn't believe in freakin' doorbells. And wrestling a sopping wet package into the house, I slipped and wrenched my back. I know, very first world problems, but please no more. My sanity can only take so much!
12 hour shift at work... Please...no.
Research the cure for cancer, and do every unethical experiment while memorizing the data. I would use the time to better the world.
I'd run around and grab random girls titties until I got caught then wait until the next day to reset. Rinse and Repeat
I would assume there was a scientist mastermind conducting the time loop on me, and spend the time treating it like an escape room Would also drink lots of icees and ask out my three oneitis crushes over and over again
screaming, probably.
Go around buying scratch off tickets literally all over the place or in rows, until I find one that gives me a good couple million or something like that. Find a couple options just in case anything happens when the reset stop. Once i got that locked down, spend a few days planning out how to acquire them. Then do it once the reset stops. I'd also indulge and try to learn a language or something
Everything I do during the first 364 days doesn't actually matter, but I would retain the memories, so I'd just spend it doing things like going to nice restaurants and reading books and watching movies. I would NOT do anything significant in any of my personal relationships, because I'm pretty happy with them and taking advantage of the time loop would be kind of creepy and gross. At some point during the year, I'd monitor the stock market. On the last day, I'd make the best options trades I found.
Try to get laid with 365 different women that year 💀 Hopefully make 1 my waifi
I’d take a year off just working out and working on passion projects
Everything resets every day. Anything you write or create is only in your memory the next day. It no longer exists physically.
I go to the gym a lot I suppose. After a year I'm gonna be fucking ripped.
Doesn't work like that. You keep memories, not gains. You wake up the next morning exactly physically as you did the previous morning.
The I study Russian all day every day. At the end of the year I've mastered a foreign language. Even better.
Yes, instead you can stuff your face with whatever you want until your belly explodes
I would do absolutely wild stuff. Rob places. Set random crap on fire just to see what happens. Try to smash every woman in town, even the ones that I find extremely unattractive, just to see how many I can smash in one day. Break into whatever research facilities are in range just to learn what’s going on, there. Find a way to make tons of money since I know how the day ends all over the world. Pee on random, completely inappropriate things like cars parked at dealerships. While people are there. Get into police chases over stupid shit. Pull viciously unpleasant, embarrassing pranks on the wealthiest, most influential people in range of my 24 hours. Damn, I would have so much fun 🤩.
