Been trying to do more reading before bed. I think avoiding backlit screens helps me transition to sleep more easily. I really recommend an eInk based ereader to anyone who likes reading but hasn't tried one.

Post memes here.
A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

Laittakaa meemejä tänne.

Me actually going to bed 10pm and still feeling tired.
I couldn't sleep yesterday so I started reading about LVADs (heart pumps) and saw some animal testing pictures and then I couldn't sleep.
Come to !wikipedia@lemmy.world. We've got lots of stuff for you that will in no way impact your sleep schedule.
what have you DONE
I have to tell you, that Action Park shit is still sitting with me.. 😂
Seriously though, thanks for managing that community, it's a good 'un. I've woken up many a morning to a wiki page you led me to lol
E: also, it's 3:45am now, am feeling a little called out by op (though I had actually gone to sleep at 10pm too, it's just that I've woken up since 😭)
It's an affliction of mine that I'm happy to share with others. ♡
Hey I've read that page! Back in 2014 I think
"Wait, why is the sun now up?"
DIN for the win
The font, not the institution as the standards are fucking expensive
The DIN A Paper format is magical though. (See CGP Gray video)
There are actually B, C and D formats with the same properties, just scaled up or down slightly if you need something in between, for example B4 is basically A3.5, C4 is A3.75 and D4 is A4.25 if you plug it into the power-of-2 formula. (Later, C and D were removed because very few people used the quarter-steps.)
There are a lot of important standards. The hight of a door lever, a light switch or an average stair for example.
Yes, and many are very old. Like 1920-ish old. So they slightly update them and invalidate those that become public domain. They are systematically milking standards for money and making it harder to enter industries legitimately. Maybe more money-burning start-ups and their investors would care about standards if the red tape wasn't behind a paywall. Now they just wing it and hope to IPO before their violations cause ~~loss of life~~ a public image problem.
The time you guys go to sleep affects how tired you feel in the morning? Damn, must be nice
sleep apnea? even if not i feel u
