My 2 year old woke up this morning at 4am. I am now taking a nap at 2pm. I think the nap is the secret sauce they don’t tell you about.

I woke up at 12 pm today and took a 5 nap at 2pm too (I have depression)

It's also a great way to save money by not eating as many meals! Just because you're depressed doesn't mean that you can't be thrifty!

Reminds me a bit of how carrots became known for helping eyesight. (in short the military claimed carrots helped eyesight so they were feeding them to their anti-aircraft gunners, to hide their mastery of radar).

Carrots really do improve your eyesight though. Think about it. Who eats a lot of carrots? That's right. Bunnies. Now, did you ever see a bunny wearing glasses?

Ironclad logic right there in plain sight!

Carrots contain beta-carotene, which can be converted into vitamin A in the body, which is important for eye health. While they won't give you superhuman vision, carrots do in fact support eye health.

Which also honestly makes the analogy better now that I think of it. Just as the grain of truth behind the carrot rumor helped sell it. Hard work and determination can in fact help you make more money. But of course just as an improvement in diet isn't likely a huge factor in detecting planes flying at night and perfectly pinpoint artillary at them. It's obviously not the difference between the people working 2 jobs to pull in sub 50k/yr anually and the people purchasing Yachts big enough to hold smaller Yachts.

Except for Musky, but he actually doesn't sleep. I'm not sure what drug cocktail specifically he's on, but there's gotta be more than just ketamine in there.

Man is on a new psyche every other week lmao

Is that a reference im not getting? Ketamine is anesthetic and usually puts you to sleep

Edit: I'm buying you medicine for horses if you keep quiet (yeah it took me pretty long to get the joke)

What about mentors? How many mentors should I have?

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 year ago

You mean "rich friends of your rich dad"?

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 year ago

You can get 14 mentos is a roll.

Wait, I did wake up at 4am today.... Shoot

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

Congrats on your billion dollars.

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

Isn't that normal? Then again I go to sleep around 11 usually so maybe everyone stays up later

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

It's always 4am somewhere so technically...
