Groundhog Day

Okay, imagine, time would warp back to the start of the day at the end of the day. Whatever you did would have been completely turned back - actually undone. Basically you can do whatever you want - it's not just that you can't get caught for anything, but whatever you did, (like hurting someone), will be like you never did do it in the first place.


How would your day(s) look like?

An endless loop scenario like the movie?

I'd go fucking crazy inside of a month, probably. I hate retreading old ground.

I'd probably just stay in bed all day.

If you're talking about the kind of endless freedom scenario, where you can do whatever you want with no long-term consequences, other than maybe knocking around a couple of people who irritate me, there's not much appeal. I already act with a large degree of personal freedom and follow my whims anyway.

Besides, the paranoid part of my mind would always be saying 'Yeah, go ahead and empty out your savings account on some kind of stupid shit. That'll be the day when time unsticks and you're broke and fucking stupid, stupid.'

Yes, this was more my intention.

Sure, but there are certain things we just don't do. For example, you can make the "I'm gonna kill my boss." now true or maybe figure out, how hardcore drugs feel like or other things where you hesitate because it would ruin your life, either for sure or with a way too high percentage.

Eh, I just don't really have many forbidden desires. If I really despised my boss, I'd either quit or ace him out politically. While there are a lot of people out there that I think the world would be a better place without, killing them wouldn't be particularly satisfying to me. It's not something I generally contemplate as being a joyous or relieving scenario.

Now kicking the crap out of some people who seriously have it coming, yeah. I could see acquiring a nice piece of pipe and stomping the shit out of a couple of people for the sheer brutal satisfaction of the job.

I get what you're asking, it's just that my gut response is that such a scenario would be maddening, not liberating.

Funny thing is that the first thing I thought in reading your post was about how if I got to repeat any day I chose, or just have a do-over at the end of the day, I'd probably go through and clean up any errors I made during the day.

It does kind of remind me of an old story I read, about a time traveler who would slip into a particular timestream and 'fix' history. He'd kill Hitler at a late point in Hitler's career. Then, because he enjoyed it so much, he'd go back to when Hitler was a bit younger and do it again. He also killed John Wayne Gacy and others of that sort.

The part that always stuck with me from that story is when he went back to when Hitler was about to flunk out from art school and shot him in the face and said 'Bitch.'

While I probably wouldn't waste my time trying to 'clean up' history, the ability to jump around and tweak things/witness moments does kind of intrigue me.

So anyway, what's your uninhibited freedom scenario?

One thing for certain, I'd never watch that damned movie again.

Yep, that'd be my issue.

So anyway, what's your uninhibited freedom scenario?

Get into a girl's school and take a whole class hostage

Buy a SUV, get it armored and then drive right through any female driver on interstate who annoys me

Rape Kirsten Dunst

Get myself killed to figure out if there is a life after death

Edit:
I think I would use a drug overdose for it, so I can figure out at the same time how THAT feels.

bitch out my grandmother for making my mother miss a pretty major event in my brothers life so that she could go instead, then coming over the house afterwards to tell my mom how great it was.
