I think people would eventually settle into a pattern. It must be like retirement is like: at first you don’t know what to do with the time, and then eventually you settle into a rhythm.
I can imagine a lot of people committing creative suicide in the first few hundred loops before they get bored and settle on something else
There will be no patterns, but you’ll have people walking down the street, dodging pidgeon poop like Nic Cage with a mullet.
Lmao. That does raise an interest point – let’s say that animals are not aware of the loop and have to repeat their behaviours
You know, I hadn’t considered that. You’re immortal and so is everyone else. Do you even bother trying to enforce laws? Anyone put in jail is going to wake up back in their own bed. Anyone in jail is going to do whatever they can to escape. I suppose the guards aren’t going to show up for work. In fact, nobody is going to go do their jobs. Why would you choose to slog it out when you could do anything? Power companies will go dark, and public transit will disappear. Telecoms would stop working and anything that isn’t automated will just go away.
I suppose the early morning hours would be a mad dash for resources and weapons. Anyone unfortunate enough to sleep in that day would wake up to a world gripped in chaos every single day. Late nights would be either a wild party or extremely lonely.
But with the reset, things wouldn’t fall into disrepair. People who want to restore power and communications go just go and turn those back on. Money would be meaningless, so it would just be civic pride and boredom that brings the world back from chaos.
Sex wouldn’t mean much. Anyone giving birth that day would probably get weird. Anyone suffering from terminal illnesses would probably secure some great drugs and numb the pain as much as possible.
We would create a lot of performance art. Music, plays, creative storytelling, everyone would have time to create and consume.
Physical art would be almost nonexistent. You couldn’t work on a painting or statue, and anything you create would be gone by the next day.
I’m not sure if companies would go dark or if public transit will stop. There are a lot of workers who are grateful to be out of the house away from their families, and/or take peace in mindless tasks.
I definitely do see chaos and weapons reigning supreme in the first few hundred loops, but afterwards, why bother? Why takeover the world if you’re back to zero the next day.
I can imagine it would suck indeed for heavily pregnant people or people with debillitating illnesses.
