Wednesday Open Thread: 3 AM Eternal Edition

April 6, 2016 by Dr. NerdLove 69 Comments

It’s Wednesday, which means it’s time for the Doc to lock his office and crawl under his desk to get caught back up on his beauty rest. Meanwhile, the NerdLove interns and residents take over the comments section for their own nefarious purposes!

This week’s suggested topic: 3 AM is the midpoint of the long, dark night of the soul, the hour at which no good decisions can be made. It’s also the moment of surprising revelations from the sublime – realizing that yes, you do need to break up with that person –  to the absurd – waking up with the idea of a game show about superpowers with Elon Musk and Lou Ferrigno.

So what are some of the things that’ve hit you out of nowhere in the middle of the night? Share your thoughts and ideas-that-only-seem-logical-at-first in the comments below.

You know the rules: no hate, no spam, no trolling. Have fun!
