Night owls of the world rise up! But only after midday, of course!
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!
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.
Depends on the country. Mine doesn’t have laws about that, other than “disturbing the peace”. You can disturb the peace during the day too by revving an obnoxious motorcycle for instance. But no hours are codified as “night time” or “day time”. Only place it appears is blocks of flats, where the community can set it, when it’s binding. Also they can set it to be during any time they want it, so if a night owl sets it it could get weird :d
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!
We already invented brunch. It’s too bad that it was such a good idea that it got overrun by hipster wankers.
Y’all need some Bojangles! Fresh biscuits all day long.
Me sneaking into the sleeping room to not wake up my wife who has already been sleeping for 3 hours.

My wife yelling “get out of the bed, it’s already 9am!” in the morning.
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 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.
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
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.
