What life would you pick?

12 Comments

No matter your current age, consider that you have 50 years left to live from now. You are given a choice. Live those 50 years naturally and linearly (like you will now) or have your life repeat one year from today, over and over and over again 50 times; for 50 years.

A timelooped life:
If you are eg. age 30, next year midnight February 14th, the world would go back in time, to your 30th birthday*. The only thing that would age and not reset are your memories/mind. Everything else would reset again. And again, and again. The world around you would repeat as well. You would live the year of whatever your current age for the next 50 years. Everything would get repeated.

* Time will reset if you die (to make it fair/balanced) or on midnight of the 365th day.

A linear life:
A normal life. If you were 30. Your next years would be 31, 32, 33 etc. This is the life you live exactly as of now.

A timelooped life 17
A linear life 31

    A linear life for sure. People fear old age for no reason. I embrace it, because then I can fart in public places and no one will assume it's me because I'm just the old lady sitting on the bus knitting.

      Is it normal that I'm 45, and although people tend to think I look much younger I started embracing the farting in public as soon as I turned 40.

      What if you fart and it's really loud though? Then people will know it you for sure!

        Then I will do it with pride, because no one can get mad at a cute grandma for farting!

    Timelooped. My grandpa has less than three years to live and he's one of the most inspiring people I've ever met.

    I would pick the groundhog year because that would give me fifty more definite years with my parents and family.

    Factor in the fact that, in New York City, there are so many restaurants that you can go eat out every night for the next ten years without visiting the same one twice.

    So I am pretty sure I can do stuff all over the planet without getting bored once.

    You also don't have to be afraid of things like getting a deadly virus or going bankrupt because after a year everything is reset.

    A normal life. If there was an option for *turtle-time* That would be neat.

    I was going to pick a timelooped life because my sister wants to move out of state at the end the year and I really don't want to let her go just yet. I'll pick a linear life because stopping her from accomplishing what she wants to is selfish on my part. That, and I'd honestly start to feel even more bored and empty than I am now repeating the same year over and over.

    Time loop. Would rather be young & hot, and have the advantage of all my mistakes being wiped clean so I can do it better.

    Plus, all the ridiculous drugs & unprotected sex I'd have right before time reset would be great, and some pretty epic suicides, too.

    Interesting post. Thanks.
    Linear. Little thought needed.
    You could acquire amazing wealth knowing the future for a year, but in time, I believe boredom would set in and living would be uninteresting and tiresome.
