Thinking about time loops

Would you, at some point, get tired of figuring how to get out? Would you try to do stuff you never have before? Like talking to a stranger, asking them out. What would they do? They could say no and dont remember you next loop, they could say yes but your date is past the time loop limit, you could even have a date right that second, but you'd never form such a strong emotional bond that would make you miss them the next loop.

What if you ran around killing everyone, breaking into houses, finding out how walls work, why your neighbour is so noisy, why your neighbour isnt so noisy. Break into a zoo, pet the deadly animals. Kill yourself in the street, if only to see how people react, will anyone really try to help you? Eat any food, steal a lot of money, crash a car, learn hoe to hotwire a car.

Maybe just learn in general, dedicate each loop to a book or an audio book. Dedicate each loop to a video essay, to a subject. Spend infinite times of a loop ignoring the reason you loop, be it own death or the death of all your loved ones. Maybe it you're looping because its the end of the world. Maybe the universe decided it was you who was destined to save the world from apocalypse. But instead, you learn all the new skills. You have infinite time, so, instead of worrying about your death and the death of others, who will return every time you do, who study. You learn. You turn yourself into the smartest person alive, unofficially.

Or maybe you play games, all the games ever. You learn every mechanic, every time, every shortcut, evey dialogue, every character, ever action. You reach a point where you can play chess like a chessmaster, except in your case, instead of growing up playing chess and over the years learning the way to counterattack every play, you haven't aged a day and are better than most of them. Not all of them, maybe you can't create a new play, maybe you already did, but their knowledge comes from years of wisdom, usually passed down from teacher to student. In your case, its been years but its still the same day, and even if you did get a teacher once, you outgrew them and they don't know you this loop.

Yet still, you cant play most games that work with save files, you cant spend hours in a game you love creating your perfect world because even if your time is infinite its not enough time.

Even in a time loop, where you learn, from trial and error, to enjoy the unlimited time you have, it will never be enough time.
