Hey Pandas, If You Were Stuck In A Time Loop With Zero Consequences, What Would You Do?
This came to mind after answering EmbersAreOut's "world ends in 24 hours" question. For clarification, the rules are very simple and are as follows:
1. You wake up at 7 am on Monday morning.
2. You cannot pass midnight. If you do, you fall asleep and wake up at 7 am on Monday morning.
3. Unaliving yourself (by intent or accident) causes you to (say it with me) wake up at 7 am on Monday morning.
4. You retain memories of past Mondays. Nobody else does.
5. Why this is happening is unknown to you, nor is there a known "solution". It's just happening, and that's all you know. Blame witches or aliens or time vortexes created by The Elder Ones, if it makes you feel better.
Have fun!

Probably petty, but the only thing that comes to mind that hasn’t already been said would be to tell people how I truly feel about them—uncensored, no holds barred, pure truth.

I would throw my vacuum cleaner off the balcony - every day! :D Then I would tell my workplace that I was out today, and raise a toast to the time loop! 🥂

As he did in Groundhog Day - learn some new skills. Then use them to get off with a hot colleague and break the loop.

Yes to the skills. No to the colleague. My colleagues all live overseas, and I don't feel like cheating on my girlfriend. I would definitely trick everyone into thinking I'm psychic though.

Depends.. what kind of day is it? Raining? Cold? H3ll?
Cold: Warm fire (fireplace, burning building, burning country.. doesn't matter)my dogs and a book.
Rain: Warm fire (fireplace, burning building, burning country.. doesn't matter)my dogs and a book.
H3ll: good company from the many friends I have lost who are for sure there, (if you listen to rumor that is,)air conditioning, my dogs and a book.

I would break into a bakery and a liquor store and have a bacchanal. Y'all are invited

I'd be looking to broaden my mind in every way possible, S*x, d***s, rock 'n roll, you name it. All the things I have never done, all the things I will never do, all of the things I would be scared to try IRL. Going on a risk-free LSD trip, for example, not something I've ever been even vaguely tempted to try, but I might like to know what it was really like.

"I've got a little list, I've got a little list..." Sooner or Later, the loop will terminate, and I would want to maximize the chances that the changes I make will stick.

Play golf through the stargate 😎

Since I knew I couldn't get fired, I'd act like I was retired and do easy, mental health things - walking, lose weight, learn new skills.

As a retired person...you'll find you do a lot of tidying up and cleaning... :(

OMG YES! Just trying to get rid of all the stuff I collected in this life!

Or go tell Da Boss what you *really* think and since you'll wake up on a Monday morning, you can totally match his energy and shoutiness. After all, what's the worst he can do? Now, [cough], what's the worst *you* can do?
#10
I'd be too worried hat the one day I snapped and went on a k*****g spree, that would be the day my life stopped repeating. I'd just hide at home safe and sound.

I would bring Nena back. High school. We told her not to take that motorcycle ride home. Beautiful star lost. Motorcycle wiped out under a school bus. If I had just run her home on my break. VUCK. 1987

guilt over easy but mistaken decisions will haunt you for life. young, learn from this. Trust you instincts I cant get Nina back but you are young and beautiful and we need you to stick around. Courageous is one thing, but being the smart gen is another. Do not waste your life for a pic that nobody will see.

Spend one Monday reading all the news for that day so that I can form my own decisions on what I should do for all the remaining mondays to avoid getting caught in a tragedy.
I’d skip school and explore the city I live in, I’d probably also k**l myself in every possible way just to feel what it’s like

You might want to check out 'Supernatural' (S3E11, 'Mystery Spot') for a take on this. Sam and Dean get caught in a time loop situation similar to what you describe.

I would go back to renting an island in the Adirondacks.
JK (Submission author) 1 week ago
On Lake George, NY you can actually rent an island for camping. We canoed over our stuff to stay for about 5 days. Took a couple trips. Park Service took pity on us and loaded all of our stuff, including the canoe, on a landing boat and took us over so we didn't get swamped by crazy boaters. We were there to avoid people. Woke up to a nice sunrise and guess what? Bass fishermen. They were so quiet so it was cool. We just couldn't run around the island nekkid. Oh the good ole days.

Monday is my cleaning day so instead I would kick back, spark one up, and enjoy my hobby in my cozy home. My present hobby is buying art at 2nd hand stores and adding paint. I have presently have a woodland scene that I bet a UFO will try to find Bigfoot hiding behind a tree. Or maybe not. DIdn't want you to think I have some weird hobby.

Oooohh... This is a hard one. Stay off work forever, eat cereal, read, play legend of Zelda, any number of things!

Ripples in the Dirac Sea is story by Geoffrey Landis. Sadly it is nothing like Groundhog Day, where when he completes good deeds he escapes.
This guy can't and doesn't. Each time he travels/repeats he is returned to the same place and less and less time remains. Unfortunately it's on fire.
His repeat days are with a young guy he tries to say from an unexpected death - he fails, every time. Even the time he manages to get him to a hospital and have surgery. he dies anyway. So no happy endings.
Me? I'd just despair....
#17
Probrably experiment and try to figure out why I'm in the time loop. I don't want to be immortal! Immortality is overrated.
#18
Probably what Jack O'Neill and Tealc did in an episode of Stargate about this.... Living the best of my life.
