Ubiquitous

A just ruler amongst tyrants

Kind of depends what happens during the day... Say the day that was being repeated was the literal end of the world - like the moon is crashing or some other totally unavoidable fate, I guess I woudn't last many days before the insanity would kick in. A regular day just like any other... Many, many, many days. So many games/movies/manga/books/ that I could catch up on... But after that, with the exact things happening with NO variation, weeks maybe.

~4400 manga completed
~1700 ongoing...

Depends on the place and other circumstances.

I'm already losing my mind doing about the same things every day. I wouldn't last a week

Finally enough time to read all of the manga... I doubt I'd ever lose my mind as at some point i will just start creating new stuff...

As you get older, your days are kind of the same, which isn't bad, in my opinion. That's stability. You'll find yourself having the same routine every day and you don't really complain. Perhaps it's because on some level you know you can switch things up if you wanted to, you don't go crazy. But if you knew you had to do the exact same thing over and over, that you had no more choice in the matter...I'd say months before your sanity snaps. Mine would. Of course that depends on what type of day was on repeat. Also, If I wasn't alone and everyone around me was saying the exact same things and having the same conversations, I'd drop it to weeks.

떡대수 supremacy

Probably I would be chill for a few months enjoying the rest and consuming a lot of media, but I assume I'd keep escalating into crazier things as time goes by until I'm randomly stabbing people in the street or something since life has no consequences.

I would go crazy with an extra work day before the weekend, so one day is enough.

Even after dead, we raise from the ashes for the sake of manga.

You'd be losing your progress due to the time loop, though, since the loop is only the length of the day.

I agree on the first point, however.

The early bird may have caught the early worm, but the late worm survived!!

Probably until I fail to see any significant progress or unique events.

I dunno if it exactly applies, but I did once spend a shit ton of time on Skyrim. I liked quicksaving and then examining all the results from branching decisions. It got to the point where I pretty much memorized certain character lines, scripted events, secret locations, etc. It got boring real quick after that.

Once I reach that point, that's probably it for me.

I can't vote this because it heavily depends on if it's a good day or a bad day, and for me that basically boils down to whether it's a warm summer day or not. I hate every other day.

To say "I'll never lose my mind" might sound arrogant, but I think when I realize I'm in a time loop, I would look for a way out of it before I lose my mind. I will do everything to keep my sanity, so I would get out of the loop safely.

Honestly it would probably take me like a week to even notice with how repetitive my life already is xD
But id probs be fine for a couple years I think before can't take it anymore

I probably wouldn't (though I would assume that I was already insane, to be thinking that I was in a time loop). I would hate being unable to accomplish anything though.

how long would it take to lose my mind, weeks, now would my mind stay lost? probably not, after the dread sets in that this may be my forever, I would probably move over to gaining skills, a time loop is only hell if don't retain what you learned, now my physical body may never change, but I could 100% learn instruments, learn how to make things, learn languages, play almost any game I wanted to to completion, with the only shitty thing being that beyond guitar and piano clay and watercolor I would have to make a trip places every day.
