Me sneaking into the sleeping room to not wake up my wife who is already sleeping for 3 hours.
vs
My wife yelling “get out of the bed, it’s already 9am!” in the morning.
Please share this knowledge with everyone (irl too), even for the oppressed class this might be a PSA!
Fuck yeah I am, now get out of bed, we’re gonna be on the trail by dawn
“We ride at dawn bitches!”
DROPOUT MENTIONED
All my homies love Dropout
I call that bullshit until owls give up the monopoly on every fucking fun event/gathering you can attend. Meeting with friends? Yeah let’s do this in the fucking night!! Concert or a party? God damn midnight would be sufficient. What? You want to have a fun time at reasonable time of fucking day? Boo opressor go to hell
You’re saying that and yet the farmers market closes at 12pm. That shit is my fun, and yet I’m too sleepy to appreciate it
We’re winning the war, you can see here one of the oppressors is demoralized by our brutal tactics
Morning people hit KPIs, I bet you can’t even fucking measure fun.
Monopoly my ass. You morning people are just too lame to organize things that don’t fucking suck.
Every once in a while someone forces me awake on a weekend morning, and I’m appalled by how eventless and boring it is until like noon anyway.
What the fuck, chronobiology sounds badass how is this a real field
For a hot moment I though it said chernobiology … and when I actually read it I was still interested!
Here’s a podcast if you’re interested:

For the curious, this is from the dropout.tv show SmartyPants where comedians present lectures and it’s amazing
I hope they release more Smartypants soon. “When is the happiest birthday?” and “No thank you the ocean” are fucking incredible, but honestly it’s all gold.
“They asked me how well I understood class consciousness. I said I was a member of the conscious class. They said welcome aboard.”
Who decided that only people who are up and out before 10:30 AM deserve fresh biscuits? This world is fucked.
We just have to invent a new meal. Can’t have breakfast after 10:30? Fine, you can’t have midnight meal before 10:30!
Make it start at midnight. More exclusive
We already invented brunch. It’s too bad that it was such a good idea that it got overrun by hipster wankers.
World is a fuck
130,000,000,000,000 dead Pillsbury doughboys
Y’all need some Bojangles! Fresh biscuits all day long.
Recently my therapist:
Look at you! You used to work night shifts and now you’re working at 5 am!
Me:
Yes, nothing changed. I just don’t want to work near people. So I do what I can to minimize that.
Mate I love starting work at 6 AM. Being able to finish work before the early afternoon and having both the post-lunch rush over, pre-rush-hour on the highways, and almost all establishments empty is such a blessing. It’s a major life change from working third shift.
Night owls of the world rise up! But only after midday, of course!
The problem is, when they start with construction noises at 8am, this is all fine and legal, but if I come back at them with vacuuming at 11pm, I’ll just get a fine.
It’s ok, I run my drier at night. It’s enough to be annoying and not enough for anyone to call the police.
We were trusted to protect the village from the terrors in the night for thousands of years! Now we’re cast aside as pariahs, weird beings that shouldn’t be in the group just because we’re different. Until we regain the respect we deserve, the day walkers shall receive none of our treasures!
Just keep it down
You keep it down! Don’t you dare fucking mow your lawn before 1pm.
Is 1pm an exaggeration or am I unintentionally rude even though I’m trying to be respectful? I don’t do anything to make noise like mowing, running my chainsaw, etc until after 11am. I used to start up late and sleep in until I had kids (wish I still could) so even though I’m up by at least 6am I find other stuff to do until at least 11 . Nobody has complained but I don’t think I would have complained myself.
Somehow in my house I wind up being the morning person AND the night owl.
That’s called insomnia.
If you stay up late enough you can be both
And you can get it all over with much sooner since you’ll probably die of heart disease at 45.
As a morning person, I don’t want more people waking up early, it’s my peaceful time and I want to keep it that way.
I wish night owls respected my sleep time during holidays instead of making explosions at night cause of reasons (fireworks).
If only you knew the joy of walking around the city at night. Not a damn soul. (Unless it’s the weekend ofc, then the streets are full and everyone is smashed)
Oh no, you have to be inconvenienced on three holidays a year! Night owls have to drag themselves out of bed every day because some dickheads decided that every job has to start at 8 AM.
Swing and graveyard shifts exist.
Parties and drunk kids happen all year around.
I just chose the obvious example.
then will the morning traffic quit making noise at 8 AM?
Right? This person is so fucking entitled. How dare people enjoy a few nights a year!
Synthesis: everyone should have a well constructed residence with ample sound damp
ening where late night fireworks and early morning traffic noise wouldn’t be a problem. Capitalist real estate developers minimizing their costs and maximizing their profits have us fighting each other when they’re the real problem.e; I was actually thinking microphones would pick up and retransmit sounds after running it through some reverb and flanging to get a cozy underwater effect, but damping external sounds makes a lot more sense
Dampening means making something damp (wet). The word you’re probably looking for is “damping.”
Ah, you’re totally right,thank you, I’d been using those interchangeably without thinking about it much
That edit deserves extra kudos
Drag doesn’t think we need to build better insulation in order to stop traffic noise. All we need to do is ban explosion powered cars. However, we should install better insulation anyway to save electricity and reduce carbon use even further.
Unfortunately most noise from cars at speeds above 30km/h is due to tires hitting the road surface, not engines.
That’s why we also need speed limits of 30km/h in residential and commercial areas.
That doesn’t stop anyone in the states
That’s more bearable than the fuckers with loud exhaust.
All of this can be true
That only helps quiet down cars below 30 km/h. Above that speed, most noise is either rolling noise or wind noise.
Drag suggests solving the problem by improving the train lines. Electric trains are quieter than cars. If everyone takes the train to work, there will be less car noise.
There’s still traffic that late?
Drag read that burning heavy metals in the atmosphere is bad for public health and wildlife. Drag is ashamed drag didn’t realise it from common sense and instead had to have it explained to drag. Drag is now enlightened that fireworks are bad.
Let’s do drone shows instead.
Drone shows for the win!
I’m a night person and my main job only has core hours in the afternoon. I’m also a farmer and if I don’t wake up and work in the morning, the heat is deadly in summer (our humidity is frequently 80+%). I’m now oppressed by the climate as well, hehehe.
Sunrise and sunset in eastern Japan are also super early, so I’m not getting much of anything done between the end of core time and sunset even on our longest days.
my main job
I’m also a farmer
Never has Japan felt so foreign to me as while reading this comment. Being a farmer (as a job, not just gardening as a hobby) and having another career at the same time? What is this sorcery?
I just bought a house with land and started farming this year so maybe ask me in another year or two how it’s going, heh. No animals for now. I’ve managed to get a lot of food for us with some left over to sell.
Oh, in the US, nearly all farmers are either getting subsidies and/or have off-farm jobs
Japan also has heavily subsidized agriculture afaik.
I have a cousin who is a farmer in the US and also has to have a second job. He probably has millions invested in machinery, but last time I talked to him about it he said for the cost of the equipment to really make sense he needs more land to farm. Right now he has unused capacity.
Has he looked into switching over to growing Starfruit or Ancient Fruit? Wines and jams can also increase income.
But then you need a big cellar and sheds with tons of fermenters.
I mean Cole the Cornstar is also a grave digger and a YouTuber 🧑🌾🧑💼🧑💻
I believe this is a screenshot from “Smarty-pants” and I can strongly recommend the episode “God’s Mistakes: How I Would Make Our Bodies Better”
Yup, I just watched this episode yesterday. It’s Pallavi Gunalan, on episode 7 of Smartypants.
