Groundhogs Day

[swiggidy]

Because of the recent event I've seen this movie twice in the last week, and flipped through it many more time. When it came out I was in middle school so any discussion on what you would do revolved around "steal every candy bar from the store and try to eat them all" and what not

What would you do now if you found yourself in such a situation? You could literally do what ever you want with no consequences.

For one I would get the fuck out of town, there is no snow in the morning so you could steal a sweet ride and expand your horizons somewhat. You could go to Atlantic city and memorize a roulette wheel and be super rich for a couple hours or something.

Otherwise I would definitely pull some GTA moves. I'm thinking a flame thrower and trying to burn down a vast majority of the town. Also a sniper riffle. I could never rampage the streets with a AK-47 though.

Also I would blow up a water tower, seems like that would be good fun.

[a500lbgorilla]

Does the day which we repeat have to be groundhogs day? And are we always bounded to the same wake up-location which was where we woke up on this groundhogs day?

I would rape and kill everybody. Literally just rape and fight to my death for a 1000 straight days. I'd have to assume that once I break free from the binds of perpetual GHD, I will emerge as a battle-hardened badass the likes of which the world has never seen. All people will fall into two categories, those I've killed and those I've raped.

Well you would have to wake up in the same location, but I was assuming you'd start in butt fuck PA. There are some locations where I would probably never tire of living the same day over and over.

Touch boobs, ldo.

[StarGrinder]

I've got family in Punxsutawney, PA and let me tell you that time does indeed stand still while you're there. And I've seen this groundhog up close on numerous occasions and I have to say that the little bastard is a fraud... but not as big of a fraud as that Long Island Larry or whatever the fuck his his name is. Fuck him.

Anyway, yeah. I'd pretty much go GTA on everything and everyone. Anything I've ever wanted to obtain, see or do, it would be done. Oh, and I'd definitely throw BRM out the window. Fuck that I'm taking shots $10k NL. It would be goddamn frustrating though trying to hit nova!

[kingnat]

Oh, and I'd definitely throw BRM out the window.

This made me lol like few things have in the past year. gg sir.

[Donachello]

Fucking lol at playing internet poker on GHD.

Definitely teach myself to fly a plane, skydive out of said plane sans parachute, blow shit up, be a ninja, figure out the formula to allow time travel so I could GHD on different days. BINGO BANGO

[mbiz]

I'd do all the things i do now until i stop sucking at them. I'd party a bit. Maybe cook up some interesting psych experiments too, and probably read lots of science and history textbooks, get good at mechanics or engineering too. iono - learning anything is kinda fun

[Roid_Rage]

I love rilla's plan of becoming raping badass.

[BennyLaRue]

I would NOT start any 5000 piece puzzles, that's for sure.

[wufwugy]

Buzzkill commence.....

Groundhogs Day would be a veritable hell. You would quickly fall into the deepest of depressions, then would gradually develop psychoses. Being the sole survivor of a zombie apocalypse would be heaven compared to the mindfucking of repeating days.

Having said that, I would just become the perfect hedonist. Groundhogs would be excellent if it lasted for a relatively short and known period of time. Money, blow and whores. After about a year the mental breakdown would run full force.

While repeating the same day, at least the opportunity to get laid is still present. After a Zombie Apocalype, it just isn't happening. For me, either way, I'm riding solo, but for some, I would imagine this is quite the concern.

This is why it's called rape. *winks*


Btw... in most zombie mythologies, would one become a zombie for having sex with a zombie... i know in the 28 days later series you would... but not sure about the Romero ones. You could probably tie down one of the zombies there, and go to town. Might need a bit of lube though.

[Roid_Rage]

I'm calling BS on being the SOLE survivor of a zombie apocalypse being better than this. With that, dying alone is imminent. With this, endless possibilities abound within what the boundaries of your mind allow.

Simply, the ability to change location should be enough to keep you from going totally bonkers. Groundhogs would do some crazy crazy things to the human mind. Things like you can't actually change things, you can't improve things, there is no progress, you would gradually lose your sense of identity, and things would eventually become the quintessence of pointless. Knowing that you're doomed to wake up in the same spot as yesterday and tomorrow indefinitely would making surviving an apocalypse like a cakewalk. Even living in a post-apocalyptic world as depicted in The Road wouldn't compare to the devastation of losing the most fundamental aspects of hope, ego, time, control, etc

[boost]

It would seem like just being a complete hedonist would be the best way to go. Finding out in advance would be insanely beneficial as you could somehow secure a line of credit or a lump sum of cash. Starting the day over and over again with like $50 to your name and no credit would be aids.

So king of nats, what you're saying is..

[pocketfours]

I would spend most of my time planning for the events that would take place on the last day of GHD, assuming I would know when it would end.

If I didn't know when or whether it would end, then it would be a little risky to go out on a rampage imo.

[a500lbgorilla]

To break the cycle don't you have to come to some heartwarming realization? A murderous rampage guarantees you another GHD.

[Luco]

Oh baby could I have some fun with this.

- Go to the library and learn every felony that it's possible to get arrested for
- Get arrested for all of the above
- Assuming incremental knowledge with each repeat, The library / internet would be awesome
- Practice every sport ever, from polo to motorcross and become godly at them
- Ultra hedonism. Every food, drink, or act of gratification including fucking everyoneever in every position
- Ultra sadism. Bind, torture, rape, kill.
- Commit suicide in a variety of ways knowing you'd wake up safe tomorrow. Thick bleach and sulfuric acid? more like party cocktails!
- Bestiality

There's more but that should see me through the first 50k repeats anyway

I'm trying real hard not to judge you right now.. but...

[StarGrinder]

Yeah Luco that last one was um... over the top.

[Roid_Rage]

He's got an open mind and understands the rules of the game. To each his own.

[Roid_Rage]

I'd get my hands on every drug known to man and spend months in that perpetual timelessness fucking ZOOMING.

Also, lottery ldfo

[boost]

wat? why would you play the lottery.. theres no way you collect on any of that money the day of.

[BennyLaRue]

lol, boost is right. The roids have sapped your imagination.

I just realized this means no hangovers. Fuck yes.

[Roid_Rage]

Damn logistics BS.

Mmm, ok will just stick to drugs all day for eternity.

[wufwugy]

Assuming you don't have any money, how would you get it

[BennyLaRue]

Assuming you don't have any money, how would you get it

Always bet on black, imo.

[Roid_Rage]

This seems obvious in a world with no consequences.

[wufwugy]

You wouldn't be able to predict that outcome

[BennyLaRue]

You wouldn't be able to predict that outcome

Uhh, it's black. You don't need to. You win every time.

You clearly don't understand the subtleties of roulette.

[boost]

You wouldn't be able to predict that outcome

sure you would. Record the times and outcomes of spins on the roulette wheel, return the next day and bet accordingly. Edit: this would be a really awesome test of the butterfly effect.

But that's besides the point. From other peoples replies it would seem that we are immune to even death; if we die we just wake up the next morning anyways. I did not realize this at first, and this completely changes the game plan. I think once death is not an issue, we would have way more fun not ever using money. I mean, really, what do you need money for when you neednt fear death? Just take shit and be like, "nigga what?" when someone as much as raises an eyebrow in objection.

[Stacks]

Why is it everyone wants to do mean shit when there are no consequences for their actions?

ygos?

[Luco]

Consequences are all that separate me from the Mansons, Ridgways and Bundys of this world

[a500lbgorilla]

Why is it everyone wants to do mean shit when there are no consequences for their actions?

Under what other context could I ever do mean shit? Am I supposed to sanction off some part of the human experience even under such magical circumstances as Groundhog's Day?

Why are you so keen on never allowing me to know what it feels like to rape and murder? And I mean a lot of rape and a lot of murder.

[Roid_Rage]

You answered your own question.

[pocketfours]

When you perceive everyone just walking around following predefined paths like robots and seemingly (let's not go there again) having no free will, you would probably have a hard time empathizing with anyone.

Murder would probably feel like killing ants and rape would be like fucking a screaming doll.

Who are you raping and murdering that it feels like killing ants and fucking dolls? We need to get you out more, man. Meet some new people.

[Ash256]

lovely

[Galapogos]

lol, this actually sounds creepier than rape

[pocketfours]

That got me to thinking you'd probably want to do some raping and killing the first few days of ghd and figure out some more productive hobbies later.

I guess if you were allowed to prepare for ghd you could always stack some guns, ammo and perhaps a samurai sword so that you could rampage for exercise every now and then (assuming your body doesn't reset).

[Roid_Rage]

I think body resets but that doesn't mean your mind does so feel free to learn all sorts of new shit.

Am surprised no one has thought about going to the library or something.

Mentioned it twice bro, I'm an educated sicko

[Roid_Rage]

Well, you don't count since everyone is shocked and appalled with you atm.

[Luco]

P44444 gets me. It's like you could meet someone, do unimaginable things to them and cut their pretty face, and then on the next reset go take them out for coffee and have them say what a nice guy you are etc

[Ravageur]

what a strange thread....i don't get why we want to rape and murder? Wouldn't we want to do things that are pleasurable like hot consensual sex or being a superhero (with our perfect knowledge of events)? Are you guys really fascinated with what it'd be like to rape/pillage? I think it'd suck doing any kind of traumatic and senseless destructive act. Also since rape/murder isn't accomplishing anything long term and is the most likely to have a negative psychological impact on you it's something I would avoid during GHD.

And holy shit at those that say consequences are the only thing between us and the Mansons.


Also, HU 4 Rollz Phil Ivey Challenge does need to happen in those 24 hours.

Hot consentual sex would also be on the agenda ldfo, and I said ME not US with the manson thing

Grow some balls, then chop them off. They'll be back next GHD

As raping and murdering guarentees you an extra GHD, you can postpone your constructive plans as much as you want while you practice killing people in fewer and fewer moves.

Or we could compromise - lets say half the day at the library, and the other half burning the library.

In any case, I'm growing tired of this squeezing in my desire to rape and murder into every post with a straight face. I probably won't rape anyone as I derive a lot of pleasure from my partners enjoyment and I really hate the thought of the screaming I'd hear. I probably would kill some people for the novelty of it, though. I'm not sure...

[boost]

If they make a noise, you just have to stutter shush (sh-sh-sh-sh-shhhhhh) as you nudge them with the barrel of your gun or just barely graze their cheek with your buck knife.

edit: ugh, this is one of those posts that I will stumble across in the future and wish I hadn't made it.

Awesome post. I could not murder someone in cold blood (stabbing, choking, etc) thus would probably not do even though it had no real world consequence. However I think burning and exploding things is cool, but I can't/won't do these things because of real life. I would def be a bomb/pyro expert when it was all said and done.

[rong]

Yeah, no random killing, but maybe killing someone who im my obviously perfect sence of justice deserves it.

Definitely no rape. And animal fucking? WTF is wrong with you people!!!

But would be more than happy to kick the fuck out of anyone who deserves an ass whoopin. And doing that day after day would make me a midget Jack Reacher in no time.

[rong]

Also, mind fucking people would be quite fun. I recon you could have a reasonable portion of America believing you are Jesus by the end of the day if you tried.

[Roid_Rage]

Didn't even think of that.

[Jack Sawyer]

I'd try to learn/train skills and languages as the days repeat.

Aikido, cooking, proper French, etc.; the sky is the limit!


One thing though: every single day I would buy numbers to any Megaball or whatever other lottery that I would know its outcome thanks to the Groundhog day. The one day that its gonna be all over I would be a rich man.

[Halv]

would fpp's carry over post-ghd? I see SNE loophole!

[grnydrowave2]

I am staying the hell away from hard drugs. If you retain memory throughout the whole ordeal, then brain damage would presumably carry over as well. Just alcohol might be dangerous. For all we know, GHD could last hundreds of years. It never says in the film.

[DropTheBanana]

What would happen if you didn't go to sleep?

It's been a while since I've seen this movie and don't remember if he tried it or not.

[givememyleg]

this would be similar to finding yourself in a lucid dream, as far as consequences go. usually the first thing i want to do is find a female and bang her. there would come a point where you would separate yourself from every other person and conclude they're not real, your actions don't matter, etc. i can't say with a straight face that i wouldn't get a hold of an ak and blast the hell out of a bingo hall.

i would go through periods of insane depression, of course. like days where i would wake up and just kill myself instantly, like murray did. i guess it all depends how long this would last. 50 years would be okay, but if you're talking anything extreme like 10,000 years, not so sure i'd want to go through that.

[Roid_Rage]

He tried, but always failed to stay awake past like 4am or something.

[givememyleg]

also, it would be very easy to get a hold of a large sum of money if you worked at it for 2-3 weeks, maybe not even that long.
