    I'd skip the gardening but the rest would be fine assuming I'm in (a) stable romantic/sexual relationship(s) already in addendum. That isn't to say I don't enjoy socializing intrinsically but yeah TBH looking for some love is basically the main reason I leave the house outside of work. And you can't do that before 9:30pm.

      Eating dinner at 5 and going to bed at 9? What do you do in the meantime ?

      [insert quiet indoor hobby here] I do image editing/graphic design, origami, or work on puzzles while listening to something.

        If the noise is due to footsteps and shit like that, earplugs dont do anything. The low freqeuncy vibration just cuts right theough them (and your skull if its low enough)

          Not having a job certainly does sound amazing!

          And the amount of effort and space and knowledge you need to turn your love for gardening into a self-sustaining subsistence is utterly unfeasible for the vast majority of humans right now.

          We tried it. We did it for eons. Then slowly, people started realizing they could trade what they have extra of, for things they needed, and that we could even centralize this trading system and cities were born, and then people were able to work jobs managing the trade of goods instead of just digging in dirt day and night and fewer people starved or froze every winter.

          Our working world is, for the most part, objectively better than how we've lived for the last several hundred thousand years. What is making us miserable is our lack of community and connection, because we didn't do all that stuff I mentioned above alone. We survived by making groups, families, communities and eventually cities and nations.

          We are in the better timeline right now, but all ya'll kids played Stardew Valley a buncha times and now you think you can go be farmers and be anti-social introverts at the same time.

            Even then, some people are just basically nocturnal. When I have long vacations my sleep time pushes later and later until I pretty much go to sleep close to dawn and wake up around noon or early/mid afternoon. Really sucks when work punches me in the face again after that though.

            Yeah, mornings at the end of the 'day' were the best when I worked overnights or really late shifts. Sitting on the porch and drinking a beer with my roommate while kids passed by on their way to school was pretty damn funny.

              We had a garden when I was a young kid, it was a blast getting fresh vegetables and all the rest.

              It was possible because my mom was a stay at home mom at the time. When we got a little older and money was tight, mom went to work and the garden didn't get planted anymore because nobody had reliable time to spend weeding or watering anymore.

              Requiring all the adults to work full time jobs, sometimes more than one, means no time for taking care of anything around the home anymore unless someone is lucky enough to retire while they are still physically active.

                Mine work fine with footsteps and such. It's only trucks and obnoxious scooter motors that get through.

                    i think the younger me would argue that it's probably not as fun as we think, except that we're old now

                      It is a disorder because it does't follow banking hours!

                      The vlog brothers did a video on this. It's considered a disorder when it interferes with life, so if you have a job in the morning. But it is no long a disorder when you set your working hours.

                      But yeah, generally society demands you awake in the morning.
