I could be wrong, but I think OP wants to connect from his terminal to avoid suspicion

I grew up playing a mud called discworldmud, it’s an entire multiplayer world that’s still really active and entirely text based and entirely free. You should check that out. Plus Tintin++ to connect from your terminal ;)

Hmm, are you not the most sleepy when you’re asleep? I’d expect a high plateau during bedtime.

Maybe if I lived in the countryside, here in a city, I only really notice the moon if I’m looking for it (which I do often, I love seeing our moon).

Doesn’t the earth itself provide a significant amount of heat from the core? I’m sure I read somewhere that for something like every 10 meters down you dig, the temperature raises by 1° celcius. So maybe we’d not notice a temperature drop so quickly?

I agree with you, but also… I’m not sure that I’d notice that I could see the moon a few minutes ago and now I can’t (unless I happened to be looking at it as it happened)… I feel like that is something that could be happening every single night and I’ve never noticed.

The sun disappearing is like… Super noticeable by comparison.
