You are stuck in a timeloop, but your memory also gets reset every loop; But you are able to preserve 1024 Bytes of information between each reset, how would you use this "memory buffer"? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Its basically like a cloud storage, and your local storage (your brain) gets wiped every loop. You can edit this file any time you want using your brain (you can be tied up and it still works). 1024 Bytes is all you get. Yes you read that right: BYTES, not KB, MB, or GB: 1024 BYTES

Lets just say, for this example: The loop is 7 days form a Monday 6 AM to the next Monday 5:59 AM.

How do you best use these 1024 Bytes to your advantage?

How would your strategy be different if every human on Earth also gets the same 1024 Bytes "memory buffer"?

That weeks winnings lotto numbers. It would amount to nothing but I'd be happy forever.

I've never won the lotto, but I feel like there's probably more than a week of paperwork to deal with before you get your money. And they don't do a draw every day.

I think Biff Tannen's idea of sports betting would be the way to go. There's always games happening somewhere to bet on and you could do a lot of bets on which player gets the next point and stuff like that on those online sports betting apps they're constantly advertising.

I hear you. But it's not about getting the money. The sense of relief that would come with it would be the goal. Imagine just thinking, wow, I can afford all the basic shit now and I'll have extra to have the fun too. Not even a huge pay off, just a few 10s of Ks.
