European daytime inactivity

[RobC]

I always wonder where Europeans are at. Around 14:00, there's basically zero activity, pretty much on every primarily English speaking, (especially niche) website. The language can't be the reason. It isn't any different on here either, at least from what I experienced. Usually, there's little to nothing going on.

In italy pretty much everything stops in a "flexible" bracket going from 12.30 to 14.30 cause you have to boil the water, cook your pasta, eat a secondo, sip your caffè, maybe your ammazzacaffé, and have a little walk to help digesting your lunch.

That would be UK.

French are digesting.

Spanish are starting to get ready for lunch...

Germans are preparing dinner...

Sleeping

Not what I meant, cause I'm in Europe, too, and honestly, I'm sick of having to go online in the early morning, or late afternoon/evening or at night (latter being the peak activity time).

My peak would be 12:00 to 16:00 Central European Standard Time.

Eating.

Fair enough! I just ate, too ~ then again, I came online at the same time. : D

Oh, Italy would be the place for me then! The many times people made remarks on me for making pasta dishes too often. 10 packs of spaghetti was usually done by the end of the week. x D
I do some variety now, but in the past, tomato soup, spaghetti bolognese, pizza and lasagna were very frequent in my cooking.
But yeah, the espresso is also always in.
The walking? I probably should do that. Though I might be the type that lays down and does the workout after.

It's still weird that whole Europe is pretty much dead-online.

I'd prefer that instead of the online stuff, too! But probably not on work days.
For me, it would be useful, because discussing everything audio related, is always inspiring and helps me polish up an idea, that I had in mind. Writing it down and talking about it is perhaps the most motivating.

Yeah, I should have added that I'm here, in EU, too. : )

It seems that the USA is pretty active there around 14:00. Heck, even around 10:00.
Is it like: 'Let's get to work! ...but first, I gotta check in online for a sec!' (?) x D

I am in Singapore actually .
But got your point...

Surprisingly I see a lot of European brands here. I was expecting akai everywhere for midi controller but arturia is actually the majority. So i guys there is also Asians in this forum.

Yeah, but I meant in case people think that I'd just talk about Europeans, while living on Antarctica.

Well, over here the Asian brand, Topping is highly sought after. I had to get the new 30 II series devices abroad. They do very well so far.

Arturia seems pricey, but the 'minifreak' looks like it finally comes close to Subtractor! : ) Apparently has a VST version.

I know of Asians on here, but it's the EU part that seems away during the day.

Gardening.

You may laugh now, but soon I'll start planting seasoning herbs indoors! : ) Especially Basil!
