What's wild is that you'll see them get a night job, or have to stay up late on vacation a few times and they'll be 100/10 miserable af. Never adapt to it, and still keep believing iTs aLl SeLf DiScIpLInE

Well what it 'proves' to them is that mankind is supposed to follow the exact same routine that works for them. My Dad was forever saying "Early to bed, early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise." Died when he was 45.

To quote Yakko Warner:

Early to rise and early to bed makes a man healthy, but socially dead

Was he wealthy or wise?

[-] Spendrill@lemm.ee 9 points 2 years ago

He didn't have a ton of money certainly. It's fair to say he wasn't a complete idiot but I think that even the example I've given so far argues against any claim to sagacity.

My dad is still among us, even though I grew up with his take on it, loosely translated:

Early awake, early asleep. That brings health to every weeb.

It's possible that he already translated it from English (your dad's saying or an unknown variation of it), and that I've now translated it back to English, for each translation moving a bit further away from the original meaning in order to keep it rhyming. (I wrote "weeb" to make it rhyme, my dad's version said "boy".)
