Share a story, ask a question, or start a conversation about (almost) anything you desire. Maybe you'll make some friends in the process.


RULES (updated 01/22/25)

  1. Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling. To be concise, disrespect is defined by escalation.
  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible. You won't be punished for trying.
  3. Avoid controversial topics (politics or societal debates come to mind, though we are not saying not to talk about anything that resembles these). There's a guide in the protocol book offered as a mod model that can be used for that; it's vague until you realize it was made for things like the rule in question. At least four purple answers must apply to a "controversial" message for it to be allowed.
  4. Keep it clean and SFW: No illegal content or anything gross and inappropriate. A rule of thumb is if a recording of a conversation put on another platform would get someone a COPPA violation response, that exact exchange should be avoided when possible.
  5. No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc. The chart redirected to above applies to spam material as well, which is one of the reasons its wording is vague, as it applies to a few things. Again, a "spammy" message must be applicable to four purple answers before it's allowed.
  6. Respect privacy as well as truth: Don’t ask for or share any personal information or slander anyone. A rule of thumb is if something is enough info to go by that it "would be a copyright violation if the info was art" as another group put it, or that it alone can be used to narrow someone down to 150 physical humans (Dunbar's Number) or less, it's considered an excess breach of privacy. Slander is defined by intentional utilitarian misguidance at the expense (positive or negative) of a sentient entity. This often links back to or mixes with rule one, which implies, for example, that even something that is true can still amount to what slander is trying to achieve, and that will be looked down upon.

Tuesdays and Thursdays when I have to take a train to work I'm up by 700 or earlier. Every other weekday when I'm remote I'm up at 730 to 800. I'm off every day at 1530. Weekends I'm up anywhere from 800 to 1100.

I wake up around 5:00-6:00, depending on the day and when my wife gets up.

I’m a morning person. I cease to function after 8 pm, unless I’ve been drinking. Regardless, I cannot physically sleep during daylight hours.

Exactly the same here, minus the wife. If I make it to 9pm without being in bed it's a miracle. I wake up with the sunrise and get tired at sunset.

5:25am. Work at 6. Out at 4. Four day work week. 👍🏼

[–] [email protected] 1 points 23 hours ago

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

4.30 on a work day otherwise the sun wakes me up, so sleep in in winter

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago

Between 5:30 and 6:00 am, work or no work I'm just a morning person in general. If I'm not up by 7 am my dog comes over to check if I'm still alive lol

Retiree and I am always up by 4am at the absolute latest and usually it is anywhere between 2 and 3am. But I do go to bed at 8pm so there's that. Habit from my working years and I enjoy the peace and quiet. Me and the dog up while the wife sleeps in until 6am when she gets up for work.

Incredible!

I tested this last year when I moved into a new place having been up all night.. went to bed at 19, and woke up at 3 AM. From there I kept it going throughout the year.

I used to enjoy being up late for the peace and quiet but damn, you can rather get that in the morning AND feel good about it at the same time

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago

Crikey what job did you do?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago

6:30am during the school year 8ish in summers if I can.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago

Usually 8am but often shifts to 7:30am or earlier in the summer when the sun is up earlier.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago

My natural going to sleep time is between 12 and 1am, so I aim for 8:30am

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago

I aim for 7, I feel like I've got the whole day ahead me then

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

6-7 if it’s my morning for the child or 9ish because I like my sleep

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

5:30 on workdays, anywhere between 7:30 to 11:00 on weekends.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

About 0600-0630. Usually go gym at 0710

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

Between 5 and 6 somewhere. I take a while to wake up

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

6:20 on school days, gotta take the kid to the train station before 7am.

7am on other days.

8am when stars aligns and the aliens do a certified landing

I work both opening shifts and closing shifts in a typical week, so I'll wake up anywhere from 5am to 11am.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

I never needed much sleep. So, I wake up at 4AM, 5 at most. I like to write early in the morning while our apartment, as well as the entire city around us is quiet. In the summer, I will often work on our balcony so I can enjoy the sun rising and the birds singing... That is, before cars, trucks, and motorcycles start roaring, obviously.
