If you were stuck in a time loop so that you had to relive this day 2 Feb 2024 repeatedly, how would you feel?

I was crabby with my family for no good reason and we had 2 minor accidents. I'd love a chance to be a better person yesterday, but I guess I'll have to be the best I can today and tomorrow instead.

@evan I’m at FOSDEM and would love to redo today a few times, then I would get to see every talk!

@dahukanna I didn't make Groundhog Day a Friday!

The important question is how will you collect the votes from people who are in a loop. They could be voting every day.

@jamie I have not seen a time loop movie in which each time the person comes back, there is a new copy of them. That would be AMAZING. Regardless, I appreciate this note and will time-protect the poll from chronological interference.

@evan I like that you posted this in the morning on Groundhog Day so the loopers can review previous loops accurately on their next go arounds lmao

@modulusshift I also didn't worry about the wording too much, since I figure I can get it just right on iteration 1753 or 222,901

@evan Water is cut off to our neighborhood. Had to take a cold shower and hoard drinking water this morning.

@jerclarke yikes! I guess in the time loop scenario, you could have schemed to bring a fleet of water trucks to your neighbourhood?

This is the plot of the Bill Murray movie "Groundhog Day". Feb 2 is Groundhog Day in the US and Canada.

Apparently there are quite a few time loop films!

@evan looks like it's missing https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0480669/ (but I told you that already last week 👻👻👻)
