When you are working really hard at something and getting nowhere
I took this girl out, bought her dinner, and talked her up 3 times and got no booty, I am really Sisyphusing it
When you've been trying and trying to complete a minor task, but failing every time and once you come close to finishing it or you actually finished it, you start retrying it again out of habit.
Person A gets close to finishing, but fails
Person A: NOOO, I WAS SO CLOSE!!
Person B: The Sisyphus Effect has taken another victim, honest skill issue.
Person A: fuck you
The act of going back in time to change an event but failing to change anything, so you go back in time again to try to change the event but fail again, causing you to go back in time again to try again, looping indefinitely.
Person 1: If you could go back in time to when you were five with all your current knowledge would you?
Person 2: Yeah, I could invest in Bitcoin early! I wouldn't have to work a day in my life!
Person 1: What if your parents didn't believe you? Then you would have to go back in time again.
Person 2: Ohh, you're right. Even if I did go back in time it wouldn't change what happens.
Person 1: It's Sisyphus' Time Machine.
1. A moment in which a struggle seems to be close to ending, but then goes all the way back to the beginning.
2. Endlessly dying to Sisyphus Prime in ULTRAKILL.

"dude, that's a sisyphus moment right there.
