  • Ditto. Know such a person. They literally only sleep 4 hours a day and assume everyone else does despite massive lifelong evidence of the contrary.

    They’ve resorted to working night shifts to avoid going insane from boredom, they sleep from 9AM to around 12-1PM every day, and then STAY AWAKE. IT’S BEEN DECADES.

    I’m still wondering if they’ll die a premature death or if this’ll just pan out for them; the one thing I’ve noticed is their attention span got shot as they grew older, so maybe that’s the trade-off

    I found it helps to drag yourself into a physical game

    I’ll put on my VR helmet, and be like:

    “I am too tired to spend another day in a post apocalyptic hellscape, I am full of burrito”

    And then the edges of my vision will fill in with color, and I’ll dig my boots into the gray ashes, listen to the howl of the wind, gaze out at the two huge planets hanging over the horizon, and observe the whispers of a civilization built upon successive graveyards, gliding my fingers over carvings, wondering about the lives of the ancients.

    Brain: I’m sorry what the fuck was the question? Holy shit.

    Edit: The game is Kenshi. Into the Radius (VR) is another experience.









  • I had this exact, acute thought as I was going up the sweaty people filled stairs into a rave hall.

    “What the hell am I doing” and also: “Would I do this if I were 53?”

    I looked down at my hard abs and skin-tight shirt and had a bit of a Zen moment, thinking: “Youth is wasted on the young. You’re young. Enjoy this opportunity.”

    I was 21, I danced and partied my heart out that night and I regret nothing.
