Oh, you're awake. We thought we'd say "good night", but since we both seem to be some kind of night owls, we might as well continue through the night as if no "good night" was said yet. So, what's keeping you up so late? For us, we usually think of animals and how absolutely adorable they are. Seriously, these are the thoughts that keep us up at night. An imaginary pangolin can waltz into our minds at midnight at won't leave, keeping us fawning over how precious pangolins are. And when the pangolin anxiously walks away, a cute bunny hops into our thoughts and occupies them until the morning. Seriously, how can you sleep with all these cute animals parading in your brain?

Since you're here, let's call up the real cuties of the night - bats. These nocturnal flying mice are a valid reason to stay awake - either watching them fly majestically outside your window, or when you do a nightly scroll of memes. Because obviously, bat memes are a night perfection, made to live in our night-owl brains, rent-free, so we can laugh (quietly, though, because everyone else is asleep). So let's flap our wings and fly into the darkness of a nightly scroll. A cute darkness, though.

    As a bat biologist I just wanna give a shout out to bats, who for years we've been saying are super-sophisticated at dodging one another and flying in synchrony. Now that we've used high speed cameras on them, turns out they crash into each other all the time. Bats are cool. by u/Master1718
