That's a very valid point. I had not considered that.
I actually meant how awkward it must be to go and purchase a chainsaw and then find someone who has a block of ice every single day. He must have repeated the process so many times. I bet it took a fair few hours each day just getting the materials.
I also wonder, if he repeated the same activities each day right down to every detail, whether there was a chance that despite his actions being the same as before a difference occurred anyway, through chance alone.

I think that once he realized that nothing he did had any lasting consequences outside of his own psyche, it probably got rid of a lot of inhibitions for him. Heck, with months and years to throw at it, he probably even figured out the fastest way he could acquire a chainsaw and a block of ice. Even if not, when time is infinite, I suppose it doesn't matter so much how long it takes you to do something.
What do you mean by chance, though? I was under the impression that, if he were to just stay in bed all day for a week, each day that went by would be exactly the same as the one before it. So while slight variations in how he does things might result in different things happening, I don't think there was any kind of "randomization" going on outside of his own influence.
I feel robbed then! I want to see more of Bill Murry having trouble figuring stuff out through trial and error, all the while wearing his cynical face! (Have you seen Zombie Land?) The sequence with the old homeless man dying time and time again despite him trying everything was so sad.
That's exactly what I meant by chance, but yes I think you are right. It was just something extra to ponder over. I just thought I'd throw some extra hmmmm into the thread since your theory about him not retaining any strength he gained over a day really won the thread.
I must admit that it really threw me. Thinking about it made me pull a Keanu face.
I picked one I thought was relevant. mrgreen I then read your post to my boyfriend and I think his brain broke too.
