Based on the movie "Groundhog Day" starring Bill Murray. It is the idea that every action that one makes; the rewards and consequences of those actions are not followed through the next day. If someone were to make a big choice, commit a crime, offend someone, make a mistake, or meet someone through out a period of a regular 24 hr. day, those rewards and consequences for all of those actions are not carried through the next day. It is all forgotten. In other words, it's like yesterday never happened. Therefore this pattern can keep on repeating for an unknown amount of time.
Last night, Larry inadvertently said an offensive racial comment that offended many people. However, the very next day Larry experenced a Groundhog Day Effect. All was forgotten and everyone he offended seemed to have forgotten the incident. Therefore, Larry is in the same position as he was before he made the comment.

Get the Dopeler Effect mug.A phenomenon in which a video game, movie, or other piece of media that was never intended to be perfect gets hyped up as such by its fan community, causing those diving in to have far too lofty expectations. This is followed first by disappointment when it fails to be perfect, then by backlash against the fans who hyped it up - and, inevitably, the game itself. This results in a cycle where the "fans" and "haters" become distinct groups who get increasingly vocal and vicious with each other, debates over its contents become less rational and more personal, until eventually all legitimate discussion about the original subject becomes impossible.
Popularized by the 2015 video game Undertale, as of this writing it is still extremely difficult to bring up the game in any context without getting attacked - either by diehard fans who refuse to recognize that the game has flaws, or diehard haters who refuse to recognize that the game has strengths.

I once brought up Undertale in a conversation. I got told to kill myself, and then the conversation veered off-course into bickering between the fans and the haters. That's the Undertale effect for you.
