    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.

          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.
