Time Starts Glitching Out

[We Just Write]

Let's say that some time in early 2016, when isn't exactly relevant for the purposes of the scenario, a day repeats groundhog day style. There are a few differences though. First, everyone remembers the reset, EVERYONE (computers don't, but crows and other animals suspected to have self-awareness apparently do). Second, the loop only repeats once, before time continues as normal. This sort of thing starts happening more or less at random a few times every year from here on out, with the number of times a given day repeats varying from 1 to 4, and very rarely 5. Given the presence of time zones, a 'day' for the purposes of this thread is defined as 'a period of time 24 +/- 6 hours in length'.

There will be problems with cinemas and other one time things you consume if there is ever found a way to predict these days. Especially if they often repeat more than once.

Welp.

This may be the end of reality. Fuck it. Time no longer progresses in a linear way! Maybe not even in a radial way. If it occurs, the universe must be near its head death.

Time still progresses mostly normally, it just stutters every once in a while

Then, how will it impact an alien or a wizard trying to go forward or backward in time?

This cannot be a sign of anything good.

Some people will try to use the effect to generate clean energy.
Others will try to use it to fuck shit up.

I wonder if the 'universe is a simulation' theory will start gaining prominence from this?

It very well might. There's also the possibility of using this to test risky medical procedures if a means to predict it is ever discovered.
