ah yeah, i don't think it was you but someone asked about why 3am is such a funny time and it reminded me of the KLF song, and one of the lines in that song: "ancients of mu-mu" mu-mu is another name for lemuria

Yes, I know what Mumu stands for. I'm laughing because here it's a slang for something else. Rather not say again. 😅
As for the 3am thing, I calculate using the position of the Sun. There're: sunrise, midday, sunset, midnight and then sunrise again. Midday and midnight are not 12 or 3 o'clock, they vary during the whole year.
indeed, i prefer to think about time in terms of the sun, 12 and 24 are both fixed in place (give or take a few seconds) but the sunrise and sunset waver between some range of hours that at equinox are fully in the middle
here on madeira they use portuguese time but this island sits right on the borderline of the next timezone forward so the clock always feels almost an hour ahead here... and then there's summer time, which is even worse
it's really doing my head in so used to time being one thing and it's not that here
timezones are stupid, i want a sundial
I was supposed to go to Madeira in '21. Looks amazing but had to cancel last minute. Portugal was wonderful for me before. I feel great when I get to wake up one or two hours before sunrise. I'm triple efficient then. Although midday is my favorite of them all. ☀️
