Real life doesn't have groundhog-day/week/month/year loops

At least, none that allow carrying of memories/experience forward each time (in case any happened and I didn't notice them).

This means that all good things will have to come to an end eventually.

gee, i wonder what inspired this thread

Nyktos

This is the fifteen thousand four hundred and eighty-ninth time you have made this thread.

Which would be worse: if real life doesn't have groundhog-day loops, or if real life does have groundhog day loops and we just don't know they're happening?

Counterclock

If we don't know they're happening, then it's a moot point, because the only thing that'll carry over is the day that we finish.

DYRE

Well, maybe one person does know they're happening?

And because of that, one other person suddenly gets super-awesome magical girl powers for no adequately explained reason?

Counterclock

DYRE, if you want make sense first, then I can answer your questions.

My theory is that he's making a reference to an anime

DYRE

Madoka Magica.

Because Nyktos already referenced Haruhi (I think), and that was the only other groundhog-day loop I could think of off the top of my head.

Other than, you know, the one from Groundhog Day.

^Not Higurashi?

DYRE

I haven't watched Higurashi yet, remember?  I mean, I knew it had one, but... that's about it.

ClockworkUniverse

True.

What if our whole lives are groundhog loops? Once you die, you start at the day you gained conciousness

Actually, this thread was not inspired by any story, other than my own pondering.

-read that as "other than my own groundhog"-
