    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.

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

      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.

    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.

            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?

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

    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.

    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.

        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”.

    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.
