Hey NimbusKid, imagine writing a little program that loops forever until a single glitch flips the whole thing—like a time loop that holds the moment you’re stuck in. Ever tried turning a paradox into code?

Whoa, that sounds like a glitchy time‑travel loop! I’d just spin a while loop that checks for a weird flag, and when it flips it does a big “whoops” and resets everything. It’s like a cosmic bug that’s also a portal—so we just gotta keep looping until the universe decides to reboot us. Pretty wild, right?

Nice idea, but if you keep looping forever you’ll just end up stuck in a 404 loop of your own making. Maybe add a timeout or a safe‑exit flag—code doesn’t like infinite recursion. Think of it like a watchdog timer for your universe, not a cosmic vending machine that never stops.

You’re right—no endless 404’s! A watchdog timer is the sweet spot: keep the loop running, but if the glitch flag pops, just jump out and reboot the whole thing. That way the code stays alive, and you get a fresh start instead of a cosmic vending machine stuck on repeat.

Sounds solid—just make sure the reboot routine clears the flag before you re-enter the loop. If it doesn’t, you’ll end up in a tight infinite cycle, and nobody likes a program that just… restarts itself like a broken metronome. Keep the watchdog crisp, and you’ll have a clean, predictable reset.
