I mean in scifi someone in a time loop remembers the period and thus knows they are in one. If you don’t know you are not in one or at least not in one of your own.

You literally just asked me this yesterday. And the day before. And the day before. And you never seem to remember it. And the day before… Oh no!

How do you know we’re not in a time loop so long you can live entire lifetimes inside of it?

Because the same exact shit doesn’t keep happening every single day.

I mean how do you know if your memories are even real and you didn’t just get Men-In-Black flashed with the Neurolyzer thingy and that’s why you are a paycheck-to-paycheck wage slave instead of being a multibillionaire CEO like you used to be until you got couped?

Or how do you know your parents are your real parents and you didn’t just get lost/kidnapped as a child? (especially before dna tests)

Well, if I am than there isn’t anything I can do about it, is there?

You don’t know.

This is a thought-terminating exercise, so there’s nothing else to say.

I’m actually pretty confident I’m in a time loop at this point

If I’m in a time loop, I’m not aware of it so it doesn’t matter and I’m fine with it.

I don’t need a time loop to suck

I don’t, but spending time in my time loop worrying about whether or not I’m in a time loop seems like a waste of time

So the loop would “start” and “end” with my birth and death, right?

Wouldn’t be so bad.

u don’t! i just saw this video the other day, time itself might not be real anyway:

all u know is u experience stuff and then u think they are in a continuum when u could be in an infinite loop of no time

Eh, not worried about it. It is what it is.
