Thank you to @sleepnoises for making the original poll & for giving us the idea to to this :)

Sorry if we couldn’t get your favorite on here, we were limited to only 12 options (11 if you don’t include the “other” option).

Happy Groundhog Day!

if there's one trope that will always make me froth at the mouth, it is the timeloop. the confusion turning to terror turning to frustration turning to boredom turning to despair as you live out the same day over and over. the mayhem of living in a world with no consequences paired with the boredom of living in a world that never truly changes. trying to convince someone of what's happening. doing everything to escape. doing nothing to escape. memorizing each day and being completely thrown off by the slightest change. doing bad things because nothing matters. doing good things even though nothing matters. deciding it still matters. doing everything in the world because you can. spending weeks or months or years doing fuck all because you can. embracing absurdism and nihilism and kindness all at once. imagining sisyphus happy.

rotating a “danny gets stuck in a time loop except he doesn’t remember shit and it’s up to sam and tucker to keep his stupid ass alive while they’re slowly loosing their grip on reality” fic idea in my mind like a rotisserie chicken

I think that the ministry has a running joke on Groundhog Day that they send Phil outside on a random task and see if they can get him to comment on his shadow or not.

This year they managed to.

Looks like six more weeks of winter. Confirmed by a very cold and frustrated special ghoul and a groundhog.

TIME LOOP POLL ASSUMPTIONS:

You have a few days warning and can do some reasonable prep before the loop starts.

You can start the loop on any day of the week, any time in the year.

You're going to be in the time loop for about a hundred years from your point of view, regardless of how long or short the loop is.

Randomness is minimized, so while there's some butterfly effect stuff for the most part everything will happen the same way every time even on a longer loop.

You may suffer some mental effects over time due to a time loop being a very strange thing to go through, but the loop resetting magically helps you recover from trauma (may take multiple loops). So if you die a bunch it won't leave you with a pile of phobias and stuff, but dying is still traumatic in the short term so killing yourself to reset isn't a thing you would want to do often.

The longest option on the poll is the longest you can do, otherwise choose the closest one to what you would want.

Benefit of shorter loops: Makes it easier to plan, means that the prep you do ahead of time can guarantee you're set up well for the whole loop. If you mess up and end up badly injured or in jail you don't have to tough it out for long. You can actually do the classic time loop thing of learning when little things will happen around town. If you want to do something crazy that will take multiple tries, you can pull it off easier. If you have a menstrual cycle you can make sure that just doesn't come up while in the loop. Never have to do laundry (or some other chores) again. Put off shit you don't want to deal with until just after the loop and you'll never have to deal with it.

Benefits of longer loops: Less repetition means better mental health probably. Work on larger projects. Make plans with people. Travel further before getting reset. Include a holiday or event without immediately getting sick of it. More time to build relationships, although that could also be bad in some ways since it would be worse when the reset hit. I think the longer loop has fewer benefits but they're bigger benefits - the travel one alone could be huge.

Happy groundhog day!! I went to Woodstock, IL where the movie was filmed and we watched Woodstock Willie's prognostication (early spring!) bc he's the official local groundhog (and extremely cutie) 🦫❄️🌱

Punxsutawney Phil says that there are 6 more weeks of winter because he saw his shadow. Punxsutawney Phil lives in Pennsylvania at Gobbler's Knob. He is the groundhog who I've listened to for most of my life. The groundhog named Staten Island Chuck who is supposed to be more accurate, saw his shadow, and therefore, he predicts an early spring. In Georgia, the groundhog named General Lee saw his shadow so he says that there's six more weeks of winter. In Ohio, Buckeye Chuck didn't see his shadow and says that we'll have an early spring. I guess that we'll find out who is right in the next month or two. I'm happy either way because I love the spring, but i take want some snow.

Have a very happy Groundhog Day!!! 😊
