Your options would be limiited because you are stuck in a small Northeastern town and need time to build up wealth and cash it in. The most you could do is punch and insult random people and study stuff from libraries since your memory is all that carries over.
Played every video game, movie and tv show known to man.
After a few hundred id turn to books.
After a thousand i might go and say hi to some girl.
You don't know how long he was stuck in the loop. He may have literally done that and more for several thousand years
...
>hundred/thousand
years
this is exactly what is implied in the film. did none of you reddit faggots pay attention? he literally did all of that shit for (presumably) hundreds/thousands of years and got tired.
>did not settle with fucking random chicks and eating like a king every day for the rest of eternity
He did both of those things until he got bored of them. It turns out eternity is a really long time.
Yeah, but he was there for an infinity of time before he broke out.
I'd rape children
There's literally no consequence, as far as we know the universe is stuck in a loop so all my crimes are undone
>thinking that hedonism and self-indulgent behaviors lead to a fulfilled life
how's Atlas Shrugged coming along?
how's
I thought the consensus was about 40 years.
So, no different from what you're doing now?
in the script, there was suppose to be a scene were he visits the library and reads one page of a book every day. It was implied he was there for hundreds to thousands of years
the original script notes it was thousands of years,
the original script was much darker
>Objectivism endorses either hedonism or self-indulgence
way to miss the point
when are critics of Objectivism ever not flatly wrong on basic facts?
30-40 years in order for him to memorize almost all of the big events in the town as long as to master all the skills shown in the movie. Must've been longer since he might've fucked around for an inexplicable amount of time in between. He's probably also tried a gazillion of other things one couldn't do in a world with consequences. Like if i was there, I'd probably try and rob a bank just for fun and try it again and again until i was successful.
>Day 2040 - Phil at the end of his tether after realising he can not kill himself, walks long into the night and bumps into an individual he had not previously met. Phil enjoys this small achievement and discovers the man is a drug dealer who offers him heroin. Phil no longer hesitates and rushes back to the hotel room and takes the entire dose.
>Day 2041 - Phil frantically searches the town for the same individual and buys his entire supply. This routine continues for 15 years.

>I'VE COME TO BARGAIN
I would've probably developed a suicide routine when trying to learn things. If I had to learn the piano, I'd go straight to the piano tutor's house the moment it's open, learn for a couple of hours, then kill myself afterwards. I'd probably also learn how fuck like a pornstar through thousands of sexual encounters. I'd be min-maxing the fuck out of myself.
I'm pretty sure Phil tried thousands of times killing literally the whole town until he was successful before deciding to help everyone
