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.
For the curious, this is from the dropout.tv show SmartyPants where comedians present lectures and it's amazing
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
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"
Please share this knowledge with everyone (irl too), even for the oppressed class this might be a PSA!
People see staying up late as a moral failing and feel that it's their job to guilt trip anyone who sleeps in as lazy and wasting the day away.
People see morning people as industrious and morally superior and don't criticize them for their preferred sleeping habits. At worst they get some ribbing for not being able to stay away for new years, but it's seen as understandable and a more pious lifestyle.
So... Yeah. Morning people wingeing in the comments here can fight me, I'll meet you at 10 o. Clock tonight outside.
"They asked me how well I understood class consciousness. I said I was a member of the conscious class. They said welcome aboard."
I made a dhampir in pathfinder based on several truths about me and one of them was that I abhor direct sunlight.
Figures that I don't like to go to bed late, I just like to be up the hours after midnight. Oh how the tables have turned.
I will not be oppressed by your linear constructs!
Where do I fit in? Being a night person since I'm working graveyard shifts. I go to sleep at noon and get up to work at 8pm.
I fundamentally disagree (on a social level). Social dance mfers don't even start until 9:30PM, most people rock up at 10:30PM
This some oppressive shit if you want to be up at 7 if that's your body clock.
I want to sleep hombre.
I want to be up with the sun friend.
Where are my 6PM socials. Hurt.
Ironic considering this was posted on Twxtter, literal mouthpiece of the oppressive class.
💯
I hate this joke and I'm going to address it seriously.
The majority of us sleep and wake at similar hours. If someone feels like sleeping only at 2:00 or 3:00 a.m., they are probably not a night person, there might be something wrong (e.g., too much caffeine, major depression). People who naturally feel the need to sleep extremely early or extremely late are rare.
Now, same bell curve logic, most people have a not-too-early and not-to-late natural clock. 'Early birds' and 'night owls' are also not the norm. The so-called morning people who naturally wake up at 7:00 a.m. or earlier and sleep early too are not only in the minority but also impacted by all the night lights, night life, "important ceremonies are at night", etc. As students, many cannot go to sleep early because of homework, practices or activities in the dormitories. We are all affected by unrealistic schedules, especially people in demanding fields (e.g. medical field). This is why we have normalized taking stimulants.
Lastly, I need to say it, a lot of gamers think they are night people because they like to stay awake playing videogames. That's not how circadian clocks work. I understand the quiet and freedom of nighttime, but that's not necessarily our biological preference. When we are adults, we ought to find what our bodies need and provide it because our health (and future quality of life) depends on it. I'm giving this advice because it's advice I would've liked to hear when I was younger.
Back to the meme, blaming the morning people is, again (we do it in many debates), shifting the blame from capitalism and a culture of "we need to do all the things, at all hours, cities that don't sleep" to a group of people that's not the 1%.
