Personally I am not a fan of aging, so I would rather both me and her stayed young forever, anything from 16 to 25 years old would work

>>70783 I'd lean toward the latter. I don't think anyone's really made to last forever, and especially if the loop doesn't have an "escape" option, inevitably any possible variation would be exhausted. Plus, it would be rather difficult to imagine not becoming detached from everything that isn't looping with us over an infinite amount of time. I think the latter scenario has a lot more meaning and uncertainty, as well as the possibility to share more varied experiences together. That being said, I wouldn't mind being able to loop certain periods of time with her so long as it would be possible to end and proceed from that point.

>>70785 >it would be rather difficult to imagine not becoming detached from everything that isn't looping with us Everyone is part of the time loop i.e. immortal: you just keep reliving this or that early summer day, although you can choose to do something new every single day. The point of this thought exercise is to ask yourself whether you would rather spend eternity with your waifu or whether you believe that the point of love is to grow old together and then leave this world more or less at the same time

>>70786 Sorry, let me clarify. I assume everyone else wouldn't be aware of the loop and would more or less just do the same sorts of things, perhaps with some minor variations based on things that aren't entirely deterministic or at least partially dependent on our own actions, over and over again for eternity. At some point I think it would be difficult to view them as people tend to view other people and not essentially biochemical automata reacting in predictable ways to given stimuli (I realize that that's not necessarily untrue regardless, but the inability to "reset" things at least prevents repetition and irrefutable fatalism about it). If everyone else was aware that they were repeating the same day over and over again it would be more interesting but I think it would also lead to a lot of unsavory people doing pretty horrible things because it would just be undone later. More generally, I also think consequences and finality give life a lot more meaning on top of the particular problems that I imagine come with having an infinite amount of time and a finite amount of possibilities.

>>70787 >it would also lead to a lot of unsavory people doing pretty horrible things because it would just be undone later Wouldn't they get tired of it after a while? Besides, it would be your chance to stop them and look like a hero in front of your waifu

>>70788 >Wouldn't they get tired of it after a while? By extension, wouldn't everyone get tired of everything after a while?

>>70789 I don't think I would get tired of my waifu

>>70790 That's the rub with infinity, though. With an infinite amount of time anything that's possible within the duration of the loop will happen with certainty.

>>70791 So... you don't believe love can exist forever?

>>70792 I don't think anything can, really. Emotions are pretty ephemeral things, and I don't think bonds can withstand eternal repetition either. Eventually, I'm fairly confident a sort of overwhelming ennui would set in. There's only so many times you can experience something before one ends up taking it for granted. I know I'm personally not designed to last forever, and I would be very surprised if anyone else was, regardless of the initial charm that repeating some halcyon day or another with your beloved would have. Without looping, there's some sense of uncertainty and meaningful support, progress and consequence that can reinforce a relationship. If it's just the same things over and over, I don't think it would be able to last, no matter how strong one's feelings are going into it.

It depends on the nature of the time loop. I don’t want my life to be like the Groundhog Day movie, so if it’s a very small loop, I rather go with option 2. If it’s a long time loop, like 10+ years, I think I might go with the time loop. Every new loop, we could start anew and do new things, while keeping the memories of our prior experiences in prior loops (I’m assuming here that we keep our memories). My main concern would be to be stuck in a forced immortality that could result in terrifying psychological consequences. Can the human mind bear an existence of thousands of years? Millions? Billions? We don’t know as it never happened. Maybe our existences are "meant" to stop at some point, and I rather be dead than to be trapped in a life of complete mental breakdown which extent we can’t even grasp due to our mortal nature. So if I can’t escape such looping, even by suicide, I might go with option 2… And even if our mind could sustain eternity without breaking down, there is, as anon said here ( >>70793 ), the more than likely possibility that everything would end up being meaningless. I already have enough difficulty as it is to find the motivation to take the concrete actions that are necessary to pursue my dreams, I can’t even imagine what it would be if I knew that everything I would accomplish would end up resetting anyway. Even in a non looping immortal life, I feel I would just end up postponing everything (even more than I do now…). And yes, I also believe that such eternity and repetition would takes its toll on our love and that it would therefore not last forever. Be careful what you wish for, as eternity could possibly be the worst torture possible. >>70786 >The point of this thought exercise is to ask yourself whether you would rather spend eternity with your waifu or whether you believe that the point of love is to grow old together and then leave this world more or less at the same time If OP really meant that, I think he would have simply talked about being immortal without making any mention of time loops. Time loops are double-edged swords.

That's quite difficult as I'm well aware of the implications infinity undeniable comes with. It would most likely still be what I would go with, as it would eliminate the quite painful fact that due to her being a half-elf, her lifespan would outlast mine quite significantly, at least looking at it from today's medical standards. Though yes, the nature of the time loop definitely would influence the decision as well, as the memories made together are something I consider pivotal to a relationship, and if they were to be reset every so often that would take a lot of fun out of it. If the implication is just us staying at the same age together though, that is what I would most likely go for. Yes, things might end up getting tiring after a time due to the nature of eternity, though I don't think it would lead to meaninglessness, as being with each other is our meaning in life. It's honestly a difficult question, and I see good and bad sides in either of it.

it makes me wonder what the case would be if waifu is aware of the loop. considering the theory that one would go insane living forever, doing horrible things to waifu in a loop with her having memory of it sounds like a recipe for a lifetime of suicide. entropy is such a sad thing.

Though it sound silly The ideal for me, tbqh, would be to live and die over and over again.

I am my waifu, and I'm trying to become God. Johan is Satan.

>>70809 As in, the exact same life?

>>70783 i want the thing that comes after growing old together. because I don't want to grow old alone I just want it to end and that is my waifu ending

"I decided if he read a page of a book every day, he could remember where he was," he said. "So there's this big bookcase in the bed and breakfast, and every morning he goes down and he reads one page of one book. So you know that by the time he's gotten to the last page of the book, it's probably been about a year. And then he gets to the end of the row; and then he gets to the bottom of of the shelf. And then there's a very momentous day where he reads the last page of the last book of the last shelf, and you see him put it down and then, in a very depressed way, walk all the way back down to the beginning and start over again."

>>70783 >>70794 I assume the time loop is over the course of a year so we can at least experience the different seasons and festivals every year. So the time loop for me.

>>70962 Yeah, a year-long time loop sounds tolerable. It's basically the same as being immortal >>70955 I am not sure if I get the point of this story...
