But if I edit the word doc in notepad and rip out some of the metadata to corrupt it, I can submit it now and have another week to procrastinate before actually starting.

Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

All papers are due at 11:59 p.m. Thursday night, must be emailed as a plain text email, not attached as any proprietary format. You can also drop papers off physically at my office until 16:00 hours Thursday afternoon.
Unfortuanlty some professors got smart about this. "Submit as PDF and it if it don't open its not my problem"
Unfortunately

Thought for sure I was in the ADHD community
There was a major deadline last sunday. 10 minutes past midnight, I got a mail from a student...
....did you accept it?
No, they have to wait three weeks for their next chance to hand it in. The rules are very clear on that and the impact is not too bad.
Why does it matter? It's not like you'd have graded it in those few minutes.
There have been too many fucking times where I worked on an assignment, finished it, forgot to submit and then didn't remember that until midnight. Ive made it with seconds to spare before but I've also missed it by tens of minutes. There was at least one time (that I can think of) where I got a zero for submitting single-digit amounts of minutes late before and the professor wasn't hearing any of it. I think it was either 12:03 or 12:05.
Deadlines are pretty important in the professional world. If you miss a hard deadline, at best you end up looking sloppy and unprofessional, at worst you've lost your company a couple million and you're about to be out of a job.
Yeah, no. In some specific cases maybe... But most of the time it doesn't matter and people are constantly late or half-assing everything. The discrepancy between what I learned in and expected from school and what I actually experience in consulting is mind-bogging, really.
Or you could, like, make it now?
