The aging headline hit different at 1:40 a.m.

saw the aging headline during a loading screen tuesday night. didn't really care about the science part, but it made me look at the rest of my week.

i've been doing this soda swap thing where midnight is either a cola or a lime fizzy water, and i keep a dumb note in my phone. last week: 12 colas, 5 fizzy. this week so far: 4 colas, 9 fizzy. not a flex, just numbers.

then wednesday i stayed up till 2:10 in ranked, lost three in a row, and the old me would've cracked a cold soda and queued again. instead i drank water, rinsed my face, and went to bed.

woke up at 10 without that dry-mouth headache. my knees still sound like bubble wrap, so idk about the aging thing.

but my mornings felt less like a respawn timer.

anyone else read that and immediately audit their late-night habits? or just me.
