Would you like to relive this day, Feb 2 2026, over and over again?

@evan Some day I'm gonna get this job onboarding thing right, if it takes me ten thousand times.

@evan there is not one thing in my life i'd want to relive over and over. I want to keep learning and growing and being better each day. Today hasn't been incredible, but even if it was, I wouldn't want a life without sadness either, because my failures and losses also bless me with motivation to do better next time—I often find them to be blessings in disguses.

@evan consensus says not an amazing day

@evan I answered no because I'm over tired and my body hurts from PT, but the more I think about it the better it sounds. I could just repeatedly take PTO and sleep in. I wouldn't be able to make any progress on my projects, but much like the movie I could at least get a lot better at playing the piano and properly learn my other musical instruments. And I could call people and chat.

@evan I think the worst part would be having to periodically work on projects to maintain skills should the time loop ever end, but not being able to create any persistent artifacts that document my creative development, or create any record of my discoveries.

@aeva Have you seen "Palm Springs" (2020)? It's a similar premise. One of the main characters teaches herself quantum physics to figure out how to escape the time vortex.

@evan I have not!

[evan@cosocial.ca]

@aeva I wonder. When you're in a time loop on Feb 2, does every day lead to a different Feb 3 in a different universe?

[evan@cosocial.ca]

@aeva It is pretty good.

@evan I've had a headache all day and my husband got some medical test results that aren't great

so no, I'm not feeling it

day before yesterday was pretty good, I could do that again

@evan
I have man-flu and my lungs sound an accordion with a stuck key. So, no.
