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"?

I lived in Germany for two years and it still messes me up when I run across it online. Thankfully, I think in most cases it's obvious: 1.000.000€ is pretty unambiguous; so is ,05 and 2,05. Honestly, the decimals are usually pretty easy - it's the thousandths separator that is usually more ambiguous. Heck, even 1,000 and 1.000 are both pretty clearly "one thousand" no matter who you are. But some numbers - 1,024, for example... one thousand twenty four? Or one and 24 thousandths? It could easily be either.

Anyway, I had to double check several details to make sure I wasn't talking entirely out of my ass, so I learned some things in the process: your comment was to my benefit, so thanks!
