So everyone is saying that nobody should EVER use repeaters. Supposedly, they are memory-efficient, triggers can do the exact same thing the device can, but there have been no guides explaining HOW. And the Please Never Use Repeaters (and a guide on looping) 
guide doesn’t say anything about it, so…
Can someone please explain this to me?
I need to know how and why… 
A trigger that triggers itself with a certain delay is an answer.
So the part where it says it delays before taking an action is like the repeater?
Yes, it’s like the cool down.
Another example is wire repeaters that sends a message to another wire repeater with a “cool down” (delay), and that wire repeaters sends a message to the original one.
One → Two, Two → One.
Wait, so how is it a cool down?
Does that mean after it triggers? I want it to wait before it triggers.
Hm. Okay, let me test it out.
To see what you mean.
Thanks for helping me, by the way, @mysz.
So once something triggers the trigger, it waits [cool down] seconds before triggering. After it triggers, it triggers itself again via an infinite channel broadcast, but that trigger is delayed by the delay too. So, you have a trigger triggering every [cool down] seconds which is essentially a fully functional repeater. The thing with triggers is that their cool down can go to the hundredths place and be <0.5, unlike repeaters.
ohh yea…
Ohh! Why didn’t I think of that before!
I’m bookmarking that and marking a 
solution!
Thanks for helping me out on that one!
So this can make an infinite loop?
Yes, that’s the point. You can perfectly replicate a repeater for 99% of uses with a trigger. It runs until you deactivate it too, so it does continue forever.
noice.
If you want to turn it off like a repeater then you can disable the trigger to stop it
