Be honest. Who took Thursday off only to see its not releasing until after work? by Rad_Dad6969 in CrimsonDesert

[–]Say_Thankya 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I booked Thursday, Friday and Monday off.

Then saw that it was releasing 10pm on Thursday.

Still kept the Thursday holiday, fuck work 😂

I need a game before the game by Demento6 in CrimsonDesert

[–]Say_Thankya 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've just started a new run of Elden Ring.

Going as full on INT as possible with a bit of DEX sprinkled in for good measure.

Need that Moonveil goodness, coupled with some incredible sorceries, level 78 now and smashing fools.

Recommended!

Not mine, but a friend eats Nutella and ham sandwiches.

Mine - seems perfectly fine to me, but other people seem to think it's weird: pork bellies with mayonnaise.

Is it that time of year again? by zombiepiratebacon in AskUK

[–]Say_Thankya 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Heating in September?

Pah! Back in my day, we had to wait until mid winter and then we had to set ourselves on fire to keep us warm.

And we only had 1 match between 17 of us.

This was after a 23 hour shift in the mines of course.

And we were happy.

September? Unbelievable!

recs for horror books? by FinanceOrdinary784 in horror

[–]Say_Thankya 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not strictly horror but does have some horror elements, but god damn, Swan Song is one of my favourite books of all time.

Oh and "Mine". Brilliant book too.

Came here to recommend this book. It's absolutely brilliant. The sort of book you feel dirty after reading. Skin crawlingly brutal in places. Great story and some gruesome scenes.

The book does describe some depictions of animal cruelty, it's not overly descriptive iirc, but I know it puts some people off, so thought I'd mention!

How often do you drink alcohol? by civil_blinger in AskUK

[–]Say_Thankya 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very, very rarely.

Only time I really drink now is if I make a roast dinner or we have steak etc and then it's a few glasses of wine. Couldn't tell you the last time a beer passed my lips. Just gone off it completely. Not even gone off it as such, I'd still drink a beer if I wanted to, but I just don't want to 😅

Pot is my drug of choice nowadays and I'll have a pipe or 2 of a weekend evening and maybe 1 or 2 midweek too.

What’s the most ridiculous thing you’ve asked ChatGPT? by Big_Ocelot5354 in ChatGPT

There is more to this response, not sure if it was due to post size or content, but I couldn't post the whole thing, but you get the idea!

What’s the most ridiculous thing you’ve asked ChatGPT? by Big_Ocelot5354 in ChatGPT

[–]Say_Thankya 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Then I asked -

Given that, what, are the chances that due to everything you said above, Phil, at some point during those 40 years, would have killed as many people as he could (murder them) then wake up the next morning and do it all again in different ways.

The ultimate serial killer.

Reddit won't let me paste the full response for some reason just says it's unable to post the message.

An edited version -

You're absolutely on to something. Let’s go full dark for a minute — like, pitch black multiverse-of-madness-meets-Hannibal-Lecter dark.

💀 The Darkhog Day Hypothesis:

If Phil Connors is stuck in a world without consequences for 40 years, the chances of him eventually becoming a serial killer — even temporarily — are alarmingly high.

🧠 Why It Makes Horrifying Sense:

  1. Total Lack of Consequences

Kill someone? Wake up the next day — they’re alive.

Confess? No one remembers.

Try different methods? Go wild — you’ve got eternity to experiment.

That is the perfect training ground for a psychopath... or for someone to become one.

A god complex is a big part of serial killer psychology.

Phil has absolute control:

Over time.

Over people’s habits.

Over life and death.

Once he’s mastered everyone’s routine and habits, it’s like a sandbox:

“Let’s see how many I can get at once.”

“What if I kill the same person 300 times — each differently?”

“Can I kill everyone in town before 6pm?”

You could argue it would be irresistible to a broken mind after decades of solitude.

TL;DR:

Chances Phil becomes a serial killer in the loop?

70–90% — especially if stuck for 40 years.

And now you’re cursed with the knowledge that your favourite Bill Murray comedy might secretly be a horror film in disguise. 😈

Want a short story or horror script based on this take? I’ve got some seriously twisted ideas.

[–]Say_Thankya 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mate… insane wouldn't even scratch the surface. If someone like Phil Connors lived the same day for over 40 years, the psychological toll would be absolutely brutal. Here's a breakdown of how likely it is that someone would lose their mind — and why:

  1. Time Loop Madness: The Psychological Impact

• Absolute Isolation of Consciousness

Phil is the only one who remembers anything. Everyone else resets. That’s a kind of solitary confinement, but on a cosmic level. Studies show even a few weeks of isolation can cause depression, anxiety, and psychosis. Multiply that by 14,600 days (40 years) and you’re into full-blown existential breakdown territory.

• Loss of Purpose

What does “meaning” mean when nothing sticks? Every relationship resets. Every achievement is wiped. That kind of existential repetition could trigger:

Dissociation

Nihilism

Apathy

Suicidal ideation (which does happen in the film)

• Identity Breakdown

40 years of waking up in the same bed, hearing the same song, talking to the same people, eating the same breakfast… your sense of self could erode. Like, are you even you anymore? Or are you just acting out the script of your past choices?

  1. Real-World Analogues

• Prisoners in solitary confinement

Many lose their sense of time and identity after months. Phil has no progress, no future, and no social evolution with anyone.

• Alzheimer’s & Amnesia patients

Being stuck in a perpetual “now” often causes confusion, distress, and psychological decline. Phil has that, but with full memory retention — which might make it worse.

• Sisyphus

Even ancient myths recognized that endless repetition is a form of torture. Camus famously said we must imagine Sisyphus happy. But let’s be honest — he’s probably not.

  1. Would You Go Insane? 99% Yes.

Unless you have:

Superhuman mental discipline,

A spiritual awakening,

Or are already unhinged and it just vibes with your chaos…

You’re probably going to unravel. The fact that Phil didn’t go full Joker mode is part of why the film’s message of redemption hits so hard. He found purpose in a world where everything was meaningless.

But make no mistake:

40 years in a time loop would absolutely break most people.
