Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !uspolitics@lemmy.world
7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.
8) No Bots.
Posts or comments from bots, LLM's, AIs, Neural Networks, Transformers, or Marvin the Paranoid Android are not welcome in AskLemmy. Real humans only please.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

Maybe this is subjective, but rock concerts. Having bright lights, pyro, lasers and other theatrics contrasted against a dark sky is an experience that must be seen to be believed.
Watching scary movies
How sweet the moonlight sleeps upon this bank!
Here will we sit, and let the sounds of music
Creep in our ears: soft stillness and the night
Become the touches of sweet harmony.
Look, how the floor of heaven
Is thick inlaid with patines of bright gold:
There's not the smallest orb that thou behold'st
But in his motion like an angel sings
Still quiring to the young-eyed cherubins;
Such harmony is in immortal souls;
But, whilst this muddy vesture of decay
Doth grossly close it in, we cannot hear it.
Come, ho! and wake Diana with a hymn:
With sweetest touches pierce your mistress' ear,
And draw her home with music.
I am never merry when I hear sweet music.
The reason is, your spirits are attentive:
The man that hath no music in himself,
Nor is not mov'd with concord of sweet sounds,
Is fit for treasons, stratagems and spoils;
The motions of his spirit are dull as night,
And his affections dark as Erebus:
Let no such man be trusted... Music! hark!
It is your music of the house.
Methinks it sounds much sweeter than by day.
Silence bestows that virtue on it.
How many things by season season'd are.
To their right praise and true perfection!
Peace, ho! the moon sleeps with Endymion,
And would not be awak'd.
Soft stillness and the night
Become the touches of sweet harmony.

clubbing for some people, and drinking. movies and shows are good a tnight.
Sleep.
Using my telescope to look at stars. Only one star is visible during the daytime.
Fine, I guess I'll look at the one available star with my telescope.
this is just big telescope propaganda. in the day you don't even need a telescope to stare at the star.
Everything. I've always been a night person, and doing everything is much more enjoyable when there's peace, no one is going to bother me, no one is going to call on the phone. Whether it is work or studying or watching movies or playing video games or exercise or anything...... It is always much better late at night.
I've started trying to replicate this in the day. I leave most calls unanswered and most messages unreplied till I'm ready and free. I go to work in a shared office and put in earphones immediately. I try to go to work late and stay late. It isn't very effective.
Fire
Playing horror games, watching horror movies.
Ecstasy. With glow sticks.
Alternatively, smoking weed and watching nature documentaries until you fall asleep.
Stargazing, howling to the Moon, cinepark.
Literally anything for me. I'm a naturally very nocturnal person. If left to form my own sleep cycle without having to accommodate others, I fall asleep around sunrise.
Same. Just really sucks when no one understands that's how you are and thinks your weird and/or doesn't factor that into things/ are not accommodating. If it was the other way around, they'd be upset.
Drugs and crime.
May I interest you in some sex and rock&roll as well?
That comes with the territory, i expect.
Flying a kite.

Going for a walk.
Going for a joy ride on my e-scooter.
I'm almost 40 and just got a new e-scooter. U can do it man!
I love my scooter, dude. My favorite mode of transport.
Mushrooms. Day trips have their place, but the night time is the right time.
walking the neighborhood for leisure/exercise/recreation
My best thinking has always taken place at night, but I don't know why. Maybe one of these nights I'll understand. 😅
sex with ugly people.
How you doing?
Thieving.
Steal stuff.
Brainstorming for writing. I get some great ideas for worldbuilding and novel ideas laying down preparing to sleep.
Depression
Grocery shopping. Ideally later than 10pm. Safly fewer and fewer stores are open that late.
Sleep
Me, too! Eating out under the covers. At least until she gets too sensitive.
Watching a movie.
Shower
Play at a music festival
