Discussion of the Day
Groundhog Day
John Smith10-Feb-23
I'm sure that everyone has seen or at least heard of this movie 'Groundhog Day'. Story of Phil Connors, who becomes trapped in a time loop, forcing him to relive February 2 repeatedly in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania. Remember?
So, let's imagine that you've been forced for one year to relive the same day. Time loop for a year.
What time do you want to come back to? Which day of your life would you choose?

    • I'm fine where I am.

      • Very hard to answer. Perhaps sometime before my partner's death so I could do more CPR and start it earlier to keep him alive. But I'll never know if I could have save him or not.

          • I'm trapped in a time loop without having to relive the same day John S. I get up every morning at the same time. I have my coffee at the same time. I have a shower, get dressed run out the door catch the train get to work have lunch leave work get home have dinner..................all at the same time. Tik tok tik tok John S.... This is reality ground hog day. I can't stand that movie.

                      • I saw this movie when it first hit our screens. A bit tedious at times, but a great movie It reminded me of old phone books, A great cast but lousy story!
                        ·
                        • I wanna be 25 again! I would live my life diffrent!

                          • I'm thinking really, really hard trying to remember one really, really good day which I wouldn't mind it being a repeat offender. I can only come up when I started going to School and my (boy) friend would wait for me at the end of my road and we'd walk together every day and he'd walk me back every night then make his own way home.

                            • Hmm, hard decision. In the spirit of the movie, the possibilities are endless. Surely others would be curious to know how things would go making different decisions.

                                  • what is the point of reliving it. past is past, good memories keep them, and bad memories learn from them as you live. You can NOT dwell in the past

                                                          • On the 6th Nov 2012 OZ lotto jackpotted to 111mil and there were 4 winning tickets worth 27 mil each. One of those tickets was for a Syndicate of 80 people run by Townhall tattslotto in Preston VIC. Each of those syndicate members got $349,913 I walked into that lotto shop the night of the draw and was offered one of the last remaining shares in that syndicate but I was a bit stingy and opted for a cheaper syndicate. The one I bought won nothing. I sure would like to go back to that day and change my syndicate choice…

I was on a bus with my bestie and we always sat along the back bench. Normally I would sit in the corner and she beside me. On this day we swapped and we were both reading love comics. Bill sat beside me and his mate sat in front of my bestie and he started reading over my shoulder. When I turned the page he said he hadn't finished reading it. That was the start of a wonderful relationship and marriage. We were together for 48 years until he lost his battle with cancer.

The freakiest part is that i have NEVER been to these places before BUT i have experienced it and i know what is going to happen or what is around the corner. It's something i simply can't explain.

Furthermore, I don't have any power in usa . It isn't about whether I am a racist - it is about whether white people (in the USA) are racists. The racial history of USA says white people are RACIST (since white people have the power to change the trajectory of racial history in the usa and that is not happening).

This may sound bizarre to you but I have experienced racism from white people even though I am white because I am not of their waspy kind. Racism is a thing in Australia but it is nowhere near as bad as the USA. I hope you live to see actual change over there but I would like you to believe that not every white person is racist. I am living proof and there are many more like me out there in the world :)

Saw that movie on planes when I travelled to and from America. Terrible movie although I am sure plenty liked it. I found it stupid.
