Food for thought.
You literally just asked me this yesterday. And the day before. And the day before. And you never seem to remember it. And the day before… Oh no!
What do you mean “time loop”? i know i was born around 2000, now it’s 2026 => at least 26 years have passed.
How do you know we’re not in a time loop so long you can live entire lifetimes inside of it?
Because the same exact shit doesn’t keep happening every single day.
I mean how do you know if your memories are even real and you didn’t just get Men-In-Black flashed with the Neurolyzer thingy and that’s why you are a paycheck-to-paycheck wage slave instead of being a multibillionaire CEO like you used to be until you got couped?
Or how do you know your parents are your real parents and you didn’t just get lost/kidnapped as a child? (especially before dna tests)
Well, if I am than there isn’t anything I can do about it, is there?
You don’t know.
This is a thought-terminating exercise, so there’s nothing else to say.
To be perfectly fair, saying “there’s nothing else to say” is a way stronger example of a thought terminating exercise. Yet here we both are.
If I’m in a time loop, I’m not aware of it so it doesn’t matter and I’m fine with it.
I don’t, but spending time in my time loop worrying about whether or not I’m in a time loop seems like a waste of time
Well, it did last time anyway.
Because things aren’t repeating?
I think this obviously implies that your brain is getting reset each loop, in which case you wouldn’t be aware of anything repeating.
Are you implying I’m not the hero that realizes it and breaks us all out? How dare you!
Being “The One” is like being in love. No one can tell you you’re in love, you just know it, balls to bones.
This is where I say "Hmmm that’s interesting.
That’s when you say…
Wait, weren’t we talking about spoons?
Sorry, I’m all out of heroine.
Do you have some hero?
Obviously the reset isn’t quite sticking, otherwise why so much deja vu?
But if your brain is getting reset, then really your reality is, so its not so much of a loop as infinite new realities.
but what if you’re actually a slave? forced to work each day anew, with no memory of the previous day. i wouldn’t call that “your infinite new realities” because those realities aren’t really yours, as they don’t provide you a place for you at all.
Woke
Well, then it’s just an unknowable not much different from the afterlife.
Unless you’re in a very long loop. You just haven’t gotten to the loop point yet.
Yeah, but that basically means your entire life is the loop, making this just another silly idea about the afterlife. Though, not as silly as some of religious ones.
Unless it’s not your entire life and you’re in your first forty-year loop. You hit 60, wake up and you’re 20 again
When I’m high i think my like it game and I’ll wake up to find that I’m 12. I make my husband promise to do everything exactly the same, even the stupid stuff, so we end up together. Ridiculous, but makes total sense to weed brain.
What if the repeat starts right after the point where you die?
Then you wouldn’t have any memory but you would be stuck in the loop.
It could be a long loop once you pass away the next loop starts
Because it’s always a fresh hell I deal with, none of that stale hell you get from time loops
I’m actually pretty confident I’m in a time loop at this point
Eh, not worried about it. It is what it is.
So the loop would “start” and “end” with my birth and death, right?
Wouldn’t be so bad.
