Probably exactly what he did - have ridiculous fun, kill myself a bunch, then spend time mastering different crafts and piano lessons.

In the movie though he technically didn't "rape" anyone. Just manipulated people into sleeping with him. It's much more enjoyable to bang a girl who's into it desu.

It's still basically rape, they didn't consent to him wiping their memory every day

hmm, underrated post!

the frustrating thing is he was stuck in the middle of buttfuck nowhere. if you were to re-live his day everyday, you could barely expect to make it out of the state. remember, he re-lives a day when all flights are cancelled, and the roads have been closed. you would be very much stuck in that shitty little town for the best portion of your life.

you would probably go mad from despair, making all these little plans and the next day they fall apart. you could literally accomplish absolutely nothing: you couldn't form relationships, you couldn't build wealth.

even the same climate forever would make me want to kill myself (which you can't).

no matter how hard you try, and how creative you get, you will still end up getting sick of the same food, the same people. even if you stole a car and drove five hours to a decent city, you're still spending five hours in a car on the highway until the end of time, which is enough to wanna kill yourself (which you can't).

come to think of it now... given that you would eventually get to a stage where you're praying for death, and it won't come to you... living every day over and over forever in his situation genuinely sounds like living hell on earth.

Well he mastered jazz piano which would probably take 2 decades or so
>>
>>63659570
fucking idiot, he says that even if he doesn't go to sleep, at midnight he insta wakes up in bed
>>
>>63659570
Well done.

>tfw would still be too scared to do anything crazy/illegal even if you knew it was all going to reset the next day
admit it anons you're the same
>>
>>63659570
Either you're baiting or you didn't watch the film. The day always resets at 6:00AM regardless of whether Phil was awake or not.
>>
>>63659757
Probably not after the first 5-10 years, but eventually you would do anything to try and escape the loop.
>>
from the perspective of not knowing how to break the cycle, be far to concerned to do anything drastic for fear that that day is the one that is kept
>>
>citation needed, both you you!

>>63659732
are YOU fucking stupid, he stays awake with Rita past midnight!

>>63659774
when is that stated? i don't think that's explicitly stated in the film, he stays up all night with Rita, only when he closes his eyes and falls asleep it resets?!

>people saying rape/murder
given the logic of the universe as soon as you committed a truly inhuman deed you'd probably get kicked out of the cycle (or at least the very thought that it might kick you out of the cycle would scare you out of doing so for years). The key would just learning how to seduce every woman you see in less than a day.
>>
>>63660066
to be fair, you would probably become the world's best pickup artist

>learning piano instead of how to pick anyone up in three sentences
>a life wasted
>>
>>63659774
Yeah this is true. Eventually you'd get to the point where you HOPE that terrible things would break you free of the loop, because even if you spent the rest of life in jail it'd be worth it to escape.

Does the day reset also reset my stamina? What are the demarcations in physical and mental boundaries? I mean, he retains his memories, and he becomes mentally exhausted which continues from day to day, but frying himself with a toaster, walking in front of a bus, and driving off a cliff leave no physical signs after reset. Could I train myself to block out various forms of physical agony? Do I age at all? If not, I might come up with some interesting things to do over the span of millennia, but would probably go insane with the repetition before that and end up shitting the bed all day every day.
>>
>>63662453
You don't age and you could train yourself to get used to pain, though you could never lessen the actual pain received from anything.
>>
>>63662453
This. I'm pretty sure the day only resets if you go to sleep or die, so you could go probably a while.
>>
>>63662859
Day automatically resets at 6 every day. If you stay up to 6AM you just wake up back in bed.

With normal lessons, sure. Practicing all day for however many days would shorten that time exponentially considering you'd be building off of the previous days work every time rather than lessons on Mon/Wed/Fri or the weekends or whatever you'd be doing in real life

Oh. My. Gosh. This was har-larious!

>>63664619
I'd imagine it'd be a lot harder to get bored of something like that seeing as how the previous day leaves no toll on him physically

This movie is about a demonic entity which has taken the metaphysical form of the town of Punxsutawney. Proud and arrogant, the entity is very zealous with its traditions and immediately feels threatened by Phil's lackluster report, fearing a negative impact on its image. In order to fix the situation, the entity orchestrates the events of the movie and only releases Phil from the time loop when he finds himself completely and utterly mind-broken and entranced by the city, not only delivering a beautiful speech of praise, but also swearing to spend his remaining days there, much to the entity's delight.
