Anyone else “awake” here?

Maybe not the place to post but thought it might be interesting to find out if there is an awake component to MN.

I’m not here for judgement or criticism, just want to find more of my own.

I think you need more context… could mean a number of different things 🙄

PheasantandAstronomers · 06/03/2026 22:44

Use your words, OP.

TheChosenTwo · 06/03/2026 22:44

Does ‘awake’ mean something different to just not being asleep?!
I’m not asleep (yet), just come to bed after dinner and a shower, have a rare day at work tomorrow - just rare because I don’t usually work a weekend day, I do work Monday-Friday.
Lots of people use MN through the night - but lots of people are MNing from other places on the planet so if you’re just looking for chat someone will be up!

Well I’m not asleep ! ?

notmuchtoit · 06/03/2026 22:45

I'm awake because I'm not asleep.

sploshsplash · 06/03/2026 22:45

I understand what you are saying. It’s all about being ‘awake’ to the conspiracies of everything. You’re going to need to be more specific to which ones.

everywhichway · 06/03/2026 22:46

Yep, still awake too.

helloworld88 · 06/03/2026 22:46

Did you take the red pill or the blue pill?

Ved · 06/03/2026 22:47

I'm asleep. 😴

piano55 · 06/03/2026 22:48

I was going to reply with a simple “I’m not asleep yet either, trying to get the baby to sleep” but turns out you mean something else entirely and I am very naive 🤣

charlatanne · 06/03/2026 22:48

Red pill all the way.

I was asleep the whole way through up to my late 30s, left my abusive partner, then COVID happened and then woke the fuck up.

Are the royal family involved, or sea creatures? Or have I got the wrong end of the stick altogether?

thecatdidit · 06/03/2026 22:53

It's a bit like me starting a thread with
"Is this a question"
I'm asleep obviously as I'm not awake.
Please explain further what you mean..do you believe in conspiracy theories? I can't work it out from your post 22.50hrs

notmuchtoit · 06/03/2026 22:53

I always knew the Royal family were lizards.

charlatanne · 06/03/2026 22:56

This is not a piss take (although I have a good sense of humour).
I don’t care about the non-tax-paying royal family or if they are lizards but there is definitely a lot wrong with the upper echelons of our fucked up society.

If you mean spiritually? Then yes

Frequency · 06/03/2026 22:56

I'm asleep, I'm always asleep, even when I am awake, I'm asleep. When I'm not asleep, I'm daydreaming about being asleep.

Personally, I blame Netflix for my lack of awakeness. You should not be able to watch an entire series in one night. It is dangerous.

Haha same!
still don’t really understand what this thread is actually about 😂

notmuchtoit · 06/03/2026 23:00

The thread is about believing any old shit you read on the internet.

charlatanne · 06/03/2026 23:03

The internet is full of shit. And so is our government.

itsthetea · 06/03/2026 23:05

charlatanne · 06/03/2026 23:07

That’s exactly what I wanted to avoid.

tricky to avoid

All governments are full of shit. I don't need to go down the conspiracy rabbit hole to know that.
