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.
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.
Please share this knowledge with everyone (irl too), even for the oppressed class this might be a PSA!
Who decided that only people who are up and out before 10:30 AM deserve fresh biscuits? This world is fucked.
World is a fuck
130,000,000,000,000 dead Pillsbury doughboys
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!
We already invented brunch. It’s too bad that it was such a good idea that it got overrun by hipster wankers.
Second breakfast calls for aid!
Make it start at midnight. More exclusive
Economics? If there was a sufficiently large post 10:30 fresh biscuit market, I’m sure there would be providers in no time.
Y’all need some Bojangles! Fresh biscuits all day long.
Recently moved back to the south and am happy to have Bojangles back. But nothing tops a Hardee’s biscuit for me.

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).
Moving the fireworks to when the sun is high in the sky will be a hard sell, no one can see them and everyone will complain, daysider and nightsider.
Tell the markets to stay open past noon or the shopping centres to stay open later than five. Late night shopping where I live is six pm. Weekend shopping? Four pm, unless the shop randomly decides to close at two. I’ve lost count how often I have rocked up to a store, and hour before closing, to find out they closed early so they could go enjoy the sun.
Seriously, I hate that if I keep to my normal sleep schedule (and this avoids insomnia and being sick all the time), I have a two hour window on most days to get things done. That two hours is from the moment I wake until shops close, not including the normal wake up stuff like showering, or eating. It also doesn’t include travel time, and I live in a sprawl where everything is a half hour away. I’d love to support the farmers markets, or browse the local markets and fairs. They are closing when I arrive, and I’ve already sacrificed sleep to try and attend.
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.
Only if you don’t want to use your degree
Depends on the degree. Hospitals , factories and utilities all operate 24 hours. A wide range of roles/degrees needed there. With work from home time shifting and supporting a region in a time zone more acceptable to an individual’s sleep schedule is possible. I did this in IT, also common in finance and banking.
Parties and drunk kids happen all year around.
I just chose the obvious example.
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)
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!
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
That edit deserves extra kudos
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
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.
That only helps quiet down cars below 30 km/h. Above that speed, most noise is either rolling noise or wind noise.
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
why would we want a lower speed limit than school parking lots have?
That’s more bearable than the fuckers with loud exhaust.
All of this can be true
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?
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.
Morning people are just night people who now have children
I feel this with all my being and I hate it.
I’m a turd in the morning. Nothing good is done.
I wanna go to bed at 1am and wake up at 9, but now I can’t.
But den vatt do we do both de children of de night?
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!
Isnt that what the scientists in S.T.A.L.K.E.R. do when they study the animals of the zone.

Somehow in my house I wind up being the morning person AND the night owl.
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.
That’s called insomnia.
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.
The happiest birthday makes me upset.
Because his point is so stupid, but I can’t argue at all.
His choice would be a legendary birthday. Your friends would know your birthday before they knew their parents’ birthdates.

I think she means woke people

The opposite of slept.
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%.
Sounds like morning people apologist talk
Fr. This is big morning propaganda.
