resetters
Those who restart
Resetters are people who reset things—whether machines, systems, or situations.
In technical contexts, resetters restore devices or software to original states.
In sports, a resetter returns equipment to starting position between attempts.
The word also appears in recovery culture for those deliberately restarting aspects of their lives: The January resetters flooded the gym.
