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"?

Love the idea so much that I tried it. Turns out a url for a babel page is around 2,000 bytes :-(

For it to work you have to use the bookmarkable function with the default generated bookmark

https://libraryofbabel.info/bookmark.cgi?fxqtvtsugtpifjm,113

This code would be the code or one of the codes that it would definitely generate to create this string of text.

Bookmarks are created afterwards.

If you use the bookmark after the time is reset, the bookmark wouldn't be created yet.

Edit: Example: https://libraryofbabel.info/bookmark.cgi?year2025march2lemmytimetravel

I'm pretty sure "year2025march2lemmytimetravel" doesn't exist as a bookmark 7 days ago.
