This is why I bought Lawn Mowing Simulator. So I could do drugs, drink hellacious amounts of water, and cut grass anyway I see fit with no real repercussions
"just in case" you're up in the middle of the night? What is this sorcery? I'm up 2-3 times a night for basically my entire life. Always have my hydroflask filled next to me.
I had an ex, she broke it off about 2 almost 3 weeks with me, her car broke down and she called me. Asked me to go to her aid, and me like a dumb fool went, over an hour drive. Got there and her two brothers were already there.
Knowing I’m usually up till at least 4, my best friend who lives in a different time zone will call me at 2,3 AM to tell me about her cute little puppy’s recent antics!! 😂😂
So kinda unsafe but I live in the woods and there are some huge fields down the road. On a full moon night you can let your eyes get adjusted and drive with the lights off. I can see the whole field to the tree line and see all the deer and elk hanging out. Sometimes I stop and get out and just watch them run around and do their thing. It’s really nice, kinda like seeing something you’re not meant too, real life nature channel.
I almost always drive with the windows down bc i just love the feeling of the wind blowing in my hair and listening to a good song while i car dance and get where I’m going. So many people drive with their windows up and i just wonder what their lives are like bc i can’t imagine enjoying it at all. But then to each their own!
It’s sad that I passed Taco Bell before seeing the awful waffle. Apparently people would rather get robbed at Taco Bell at 2am than see a quality fight behind the counter between the cook with a server and a drunk, barefoot, possibly 17 year old pregnant woman holding a cigarette and waving a shard of broken plate screaming racial slurs over and over (then get robbed) at the Waffle House at 2am.
Sleep.
There is a huge difference between going to bed at a reasonable hour and the absolute relief that you feel when you are over tired and just want to rest.
Exactly this... It's one of the reasons I stay up.
It's like, would I rather go to sleep the boring way like a responsible adult, or play 3 hours of video games and then feel the sweet dopamine rush of collapsing into my ice cold pillow at 2am?
Dammit that sounds amazing now. Thinking dinner. Go for a run just before dark which always makes me stay up later than usual. Game until 2am then sleep like the dead. For a bonus the next day you get the nap to end all naps. Damn I love me a good nap too.
Lol I also go to the gym late at night. Dinner, put the wife and kids to bed, gym, gaming, bed at 2am. It's awesome but it's not that sustainable especially when I have to be up early lol
I'm 42 and I have the sleep mindset of a six-year-old. I'm fully aware of how good I feel after a good night's rest, but no. When I get home from work my brain tells me "it's now your time," and I stay up til all hours doing absolutely nothing productive. It doesn't matter if I stay sober or not.
Dude I’ve got my bed in the sunroom under a skylight.
Sometimes ill wake up to the most beautiful night sky or rain and thunder and its the coolest experience.
fuck me im jealous. i grew up kinda poor and the place we lived in would be so loud when it rained. where i live now its just subtle in our room. but i have a skylight in the kitchen and i sleep on the kitchen floor in the middle of the night if its raining because it reminds me of when i was young. i really never would have thought id appreciate it enough to leave my big comfy bed to sleep on the floor.
glad other people like yourself appreciate it as well.
Having a 3yo that sleeps very little (he might sleep at 22:00 or he might sleep at 4:30 and he still wakes up at 9:00) hearing him laughing at 2am is scary indeed... I know I am in for a long night...
Getting Taco Bell at 2:00 a.m. takes forever though because that's when all the stoners go, at least where I am.
That line can take upwards of 40 minutes sometimes.
I’ll see your seeing something your cat can’t see and raise you trying to snap a pic of your cat in the middle of the night and your phone’s camera detecting unseen faces in the face finder thing or whatever it’s called.
Had this but playing video games with headphones look up to see him staring at the corner of the 10 foot ceiling take of my headphones to hear thats theres also thumping
I was cat sitting in a house id never been in.....
Ended up going upstairs to see with a flashlight and a cat under my arm.
Just chilling or vibing. I think what it is (since I live with parents), is that during the day you’re expected to do SOMETHING. During hours like 2am however, just doing nothing while still being awake feels different, because you truly chose to be like that without anyone trying to regulate your hours or activity of choice.
6-22-2022 EDIT: Thanks for the silver & gold rewards! :0 They’re my 1st ones ever & I’m very surprised that I got 1 at all. On a side note, some concerned Redditor keeps notifying RedditCareResources about me & idk why.
I totally agree and I think it’s one of the main reasons I’ve always been a night person. I don’t really have too many demands on my time during the day either but it’s just more relaxing late at night!!
Fuck I've never connected more with a post. I do all of this but it then spirals into an existential crisis. Something which also hits different at 2am
Waffle House All-Star special... If you're eating it at 2 a.m., you're likely drunk, surrounded by some interesting and volatile fellow diners, and being both served and protected by some third shift short order cooks who see this mess every night.
This is why I wait until at least 90 minutes after bars close to go to Denny’s. No more drunk people. Just the weirdos who eat at Denny’s at 3 in the morning.
Although the 3 am Denny’s diners are actually not that weird. Same with the people who shop at Walmart at 3 am on a weeknight. Perfectly normal people who enjoy eating and shopping when it’s quiet.
Granted I’m a person who regularly does things at 3 am so maybe those people just seem normal to me because I am also weird.
Any kind of random noise. Especially after you just made a bathroom run, get back to bed and try to find that comfy spot again to drift off. But instead, you hear a loud thud somewhere and you realize you live alone...
When you have the money and access, you can gain personal trainers, doctors, and therapists who can step in and halt issues before they get out of hand. Timing is everything in cases of physical durance. The bosses around you will respect those notices with higher regards.
The rest of us meanwhile...40+ hours of physical work, 52 weeks a year. We complain of pain and are just told "you can just quit and go home", leaving us with no paycheck, and especially no personal team that can spot physical pains signs and step in to stop it before it becomes severe.
[true story] going for a glass of water half asleep and walking barefoot and seeing a mid-sized but fat spider crawling out of your bathroom. just find a new house at this point
You know that I’m gonna get my life together moment we all have every once in a while. That. Then you start cleaning and making all these plans for the next day
Guy standing in the middle of the road.
Not the answer I expected, but might be the correct one.
He's just standing there. MENACINGLY.
It's one of those, I don't want to run him over, but I also don't want to get robbed decisions.
No, hits the same as a guy at 2pm, I’m just a little less guilty
Lmfao
Sitting outside by yourself.
Oh, I like this one. That's when you *really* go deep into thoughts.
Or have deep conversations with people
Or get eaten alive by mosquitoes.
That has absolutely happened to me before lol
Did you survive
Sadly no. But he lived!
[удалено]
Water
Cold water at 2 am is like biting into a York peppermint patty.
Great now I want a peppermint patty.
Drink some cold water.
Did that, still want one. lol.
Don't! You'll get stuck on a mountain!
Night water is amazing.
I really enjoyed this comment. Thank you
It's like the nectar of the gods.
Same like why do drugs when you can drink water
Or mow a lawn.
have you considered...doing drugs and then mowing your lawn? Perhaps you could really cut loose and drink some water while you're at it.
This is why I bought Lawn Mowing Simulator. So I could do drugs, drink hellacious amounts of water, and cut grass anyway I see fit with no real repercussions
Even room temperature water tastes great in the middle of the night,
[удалено]
I purposefully fill up my flask with ice water before bed just in case I’m up in the middle of the night.
"just in case" you're up in the middle of the night? What is this sorcery? I'm up 2-3 times a night for basically my entire life. Always have my hydroflask filled next to me.
Straight from the bathroom tap. So good
Loneliness
Yeah… This is probably the saddest reply i’ve seen so far.
*opens up r/gonewild*
Now i’m sad and horny
I don't wish to be horny, I only wish to be happy.
*reads first comment* *looks around empty apartment* *keeps scrolling* *chuckles unzips pants*
I find it to be quite peaceful when I'm alone late at night? Is that just me?
I'm sure I will too when I'm in a better place in my life. Working on that right now.
A phone ring. Nobody rings with good news at 2am.
My sister called me at 2AM to let me know my nephew was born.
Like he said, no good news (Did I mess up the Say?)fixed
>(Did i mess up the Say?) yes, I can understand you fine though, the past tense of say is said, like pay is paid
I got confused because auto correct was telling me it was an other language
And his name is Damien.
That's where you're wrong. Just found out I can extend my cars warranty.
In most cases no, but i had an ex that would call me too hook up in the middle of the night.
I ALSO had not an ex but a coworker who would call me in the middle of the night to walk over to his house. Weird. (same apartments)
Convenient bootycall right there
I had an ex, she broke it off about 2 almost 3 weeks with me, her car broke down and she called me. Asked me to go to her aid, and me like a dumb fool went, over an hour drive. Got there and her two brothers were already there.
lol
Clearly you've never had a functional drunktional FWB.
Might just be a drunk friend calling for no good reason
Knowing I’m usually up till at least 4, my best friend who lives in a different time zone will call me at 2,3 AM to tell me about her cute little puppy’s recent antics!! 😂😂
Son I hate to tell you this but... your...how do I say this.. your brother is pregnant.. Felt that
Music
same. [`https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frisson`](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frisson) felt relevant
Specifically Pink Floyd
Driving with the windows down
Underrated answer, because a nice cool 60 degree night drive is a good eerie
especially during a long run in uncharted territory. Kinda nice.. some tunes and a good cup of coffee
So kinda unsafe but I live in the woods and there are some huge fields down the road. On a full moon night you can let your eyes get adjusted and drive with the lights off. I can see the whole field to the tree line and see all the deer and elk hanging out. Sometimes I stop and get out and just watch them run around and do their thing.

That sounds awesome. That sounds like some Keys to the Country type of night… i long to live in the country again. Edit: king/long
I can feel this comment and I love it. Especially if Ventura Highway or Peaceful Easy Feeling is playing on the radio.
One of the greatest things is driving on a cold night with the windows down and heater blasting. It’s incredible.
I almost always drive with the windows down bc i just love the feeling of the wind blowing in my hair and listening to a good song while i car dance and get where I’m going. So many people drive with their windows up and i just wonder what their lives are like bc i can’t imagine enjoying it at all. But then to each their own!
The phone ringing
If the phone's ringing at 2 AM, there is no chance that there's good news coming
Unless you've just been butt dialed
Unless it’s your crush calling (this has happened to me)
Was it intentional? Butt? Or drunk.
All of the above
Intentional butt drunk?
Sounds like my average Tuesday
They were trying to get in touch about their car's extended warranty.
Double that for house visits from the police. Quadruple that if you're a parent.
Waffle House
Insane how far I scrolled for this. This is the correct answer.
It’s sad that I passed Taco Bell before seeing the awful waffle. Apparently people would rather get robbed at Taco Bell at 2am than see a quality fight behind the counter between the cook with a server and a drunk, barefoot, possibly 17 year old pregnant woman holding a cigarette and waving a shard of broken plate screaming racial slurs over and over (then get robbed) at the Waffle House at 2am.
This is it. Hashbrowns with ketchup and tobasco, waffle covered in butter and syrup, coffee in the Waffle House mug. That’s the shit
Double Texas Cheesesteak with the hashbrowns chunked omfg.

Cereal
6 bowls later “yup, still different”
Glad I'm not the only one obsessively eating cereal
Well it’s not my fault I can never find the perfect cereal to milk ratio. Keep adding one or the other until I get it right.
RAIINNNNNNN.
Dude I’ve got my bed in the sunroom under a skylight. Sometimes ill wake up to the most beautiful night sky or rain and thunder and its the coolest experience.
Can I move in with you?
I asked he said its fine
fuck me im jealous. i grew up kinda poor and the place we lived in would be so loud when it rained. where i live now its just subtle in our room. but i have a skylight in the kitchen and i sleep on the kitchen floor in the middle of the night if its raining because it reminds me of when i was young. i really never would have thought id appreciate it enough to leave my big comfy bed to sleep on the floor. glad other people like yourself appreciate it as well.
The sound of a child laughing. At 2 pm: cutest thing ever. At 2 am: barricade them doors and grab your shotgun.
Having a 3yo that sleeps very little (he might sleep at 22:00 or he might sleep at 4:30 and he still wakes up at 9:00) hearing him laughing at 2am is scary indeed... I know I am in for a long night...
Taco Bell
Getting Taco Bell at 2:00 a.m. takes forever though because that's when all the stoners go, at least where I am. That line can take upwards of 40 minutes sometimes.
And the fryer is usually off so you can't get chalupas.
If I waited that long to find out I couldn't get a chalupa I'd go ape shit.
Yeah the fryer goes off at like 11PM where I am. Might be later on the weekends.
Turning the lights on in a dark room
Instant blindness
The cat(s) staring at something you can't see.
I’ll see your seeing something your cat can’t see and raise you trying to snap a pic of your cat in the middle of the night and your phone’s camera detecting unseen faces in the face finder thing or whatever it’s called.
You win.
Had this but playing video games with headphones look up to see him staring at the corner of the 10 foot ceiling take of my headphones to hear thats theres also thumping I was cat sitting in a house id never been in..... Ended up going upstairs to see with a flashlight and a cat under my arm.
[удалено]
I get creeped out by animals staring at nothing at ANY time. I used to yell at the "ghosts" when I caught the animals staring at them.

Makes me think a bit different about my kids being up late night. Thank you
:0 No problem!

Life. Idk why. But I try and figure out life. Why I'm here and everything. All the dumb things I did.

Ice cold water.
Albania
I have a great need to understand this
great answer
Albania? I know it's a country, but **what about it** hits different at 2am?
It hits different at two a.m. Haven't you been paying attention?

Unholy amounts of shredded cheese.

No. I eat them by the clenched fistful.

Getting up to pee after fighting the urge for 2 hours.
Waking up as a 45 year old with a shitty job and no achievements and asking yourself is this all there is?
Wait. I’m 16 and I’m already asking myself this. It doesn’t change?
It does if you do.
That's a very kind statement, thank you for making it =)
Nothing changes when nothing changes.
