    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.

    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

    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.

    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.

      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.

    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

      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.

      That’s a different prompt. I’d change a lot. Not quite everything. Maybe I’d save my dad.
