I guess it's weirdest because it has two silly associations. But Talk Like a Pirate Day is arguably weirder than either of them. Barmar (talk) 16:50, 2 February 2026 (UTC)
Even Stargate SG-1 had a timeloop episode and dropped a Groundhog Day reference in.
- Malikai: Once I've correctly deciphered the symbols on the altar, I will be able to master the time device.
- Jack O'Neill: Why, so you can be king of Groundhog Day?

It’s curious to see Black Hat being the one who is nonplussed here. Usually he’s the one shocking everyone else with surreal statements and antics. Pie Guy (talk) 17:28, 2 February 2026 (UTC)
- Yeah I was wondering about that too. Why Black Hat instead of a more normal character like Megan? Contrary to his usual behavior, Black Hat isn't doing anything evil here. DKMell (talk) 19:34, 2 February 2026 (UTC)
- I was thinking it might be because of comic 2174, where it heavily implies Black Hat comes from a different planet. Maybe he still doesn't have all of our holidays and cultures figured out yet? Sounds like a bit of a stretch, but I think it's a fun interpretation, and I'm going with it. Willintendo (talk) 20:24, 2 February 2026 (UTC)
- Yes, that legit freaked me out. I like Willintendo's interpretation, though.104.32.72.95 21:02, 2 February 2026 (UTC)
Help, I'm stuck in a time loop. But at least it's going to be sunny for the forseeable future. 76.187.17.7 18:29, 2 February 2026 (UTC)
We should possibly mention Candlemas and the German traditions surrounding Badgers seeing shadows. 80.41.29.9 18:34, 2 February 2026 (UTC)

- ¿How is it that the whole body resets except the brain?
Oftentimes, the loop resets after death. If death is from an head-injury, ¿how does the brain restore without loosing memories or function? 67.174.239.209 (talk) 19:44, 2 February 2026 (UTC) (please sign your comments with ~~~~)

The specific individual ground squirrel in Pennsylvania most people agreed to standardize on is now 139 years old. Even Wikipedia confirms the official Phil has been the same forecasting beast since 1887. Personally I'm a little unsure, I wonder if perhaps there may have been some substitutions along the way, however I cannot find any references to that happening... maybe I'm just too untrusting?
