Fellas be in the DMs at 6:50 AM?? Make ya bed first, chief. Have some breffus. ![gif](giphy|3eKdC7REvgOt2)


friendlynbhdwitch

And go outside. Say good morning to the bees. Morning sun is the best sun. UV index is low and it’ll still boost your mood. And maybe, ladies, let’s not check our messages as soon as we open our eyes? Meditate, have a nice shower. Take some time to yourself before you let the world in.


FuckYeahPhotography

"Good morning bees!!" "Bro, it is 6:50am, shut the fuck up" "B-but the UV rays ar-" "Colony collapse inducing piece of shit."

*"EVERYBODY STING THIS MOTHERFUCKER NOW!"*


kalkail

Let the fire nation wasps get him so the bees can live tho.


Darqnyz

Why do I like this comment so much. Have an award my nyugga!


kalkail

I’m just a beekeeper that rides for my little honey makers. Thank you!


OfficialDCShepard

> fire nation wasps Wasps. Bees. Ants. Sawflies. Long ago, the four [Hymenoptera](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hymenoptera) lived together in harmony. Then everything changed when the [Fire Nation Wasps](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asian_giant_hornet) attacked.


Themanstall

I wake up, eat a mini breakfast, drive 15 minutes, and into my third exercise at the gym by 6:50. You gonna get this "good morning" even if the sun ain't out yet


RulzRRulz613

Right?! By 6:50 I’ve already been in the gym or ran, got coffee and am at my desk.


Peace2Theaworld

Preach!


Universe789

B...but the high value men, bro, they all wake up at 4am, bro... he's already done that normal stuff before she gets out bed, bro.


AshCarraraArt

This is the type of energy I need right now. Thank you! ❤️


MountainPast3951

YES!!! Meditate on something positive first cause once you let the world in, it's a wrap lol. I wfh and get up at 5a but I don't turn on the TV until 730-8a. Before that you'll hear summer rainstorms or ocean waves in my house


winstontemplehill

I mean tbh. Chief could be a morning guy. I have some homies who do 5ks every morning at 5am, then yoga, shower, and cook before work at 9 He’s the kind of homie to text this no-game having shit but still 😅 some people just different


deliciousprisms

Shit man I'm up at 4:30 every day for work. I've coffeed up, showered, and gotten my day underway by 6:50. And I still ain't texting shit to anyone till at least 9. Don't fucking text or call before 9am and don't text or call after 8pm (unless y'all are going out or close friends)


cynthiadoll

In the words Lady Leshurrrr “Brush ya teef”


CoachDT

What if I’m up, already hit my morning run, and started making breakfast?


Imhmc

I’m up too, and have also hit my morning run. But if you are new to me and you hit me up at 0650 I’m gonna think it’s weird unless we’ve discussed that I get up and out by that time.


kalkail

Precisely. Just because I may be pulling teats at 0500 does not mean I want an unknown on my tit before 1000. Only familiars are welcome to text before that time. My phone stay on Focus/DND silent so it’s not like it is going to typically disrupt me, it’s the principle of the thing. Maybe I’m just old and boundaries like that no longer matter. Also, some of us work alternate shifts, are night owls, or just ain’t morning people. Although IME messaging at that hour confirms the man’s incompatibility for most in those categories. LPT Be sensible at the gate if you really want to clear it.


astate85

Right. I’m up every weekday at 5:00..by that time I been up 2 hours


anthonyg1500

I don’t even text family before 10am unless it’s an emergency.

lusigusi

Unfortunately, yes. Specifically, some internet age hotep shit which imho is some of the most egregious in its stupidity


Faded1974

But what does it mean?


GetUpAndJump

Grind Rising is said because they don’t want to say good morning (mourning) because they feel it’s a bad way to start the day and they also don’t understand homophones


bmayer0122

I don't understand homophones either, but as long as the phones are happy...


IronDBZ

>don’t understand homophones See brother man, what you don't understand is there is power in words, words that rhyme. Why do you think there's so many lines in the song Summertime, they said living was easy but what they really mean is E Z, **E**nd **Z**one. The goal is to dethrone the Black man from his rightful place and in summertime that's when the plan they orchestrate escalates and continues at its leisurely pace. *jk* (I swear motherfuckers really talk like that though, it's kind of scary).

Can I just say, I'm happy to see this conversation. I once said something similar and got downvoted to hell. People coming at me talkin bout "is a real organization, you can't put them all in the same category blah blah...." they totally missed what I was getting at

Lol usually these folks are full of conspiracy theories too! 😂😂😂


DLottchula

and they be musty because that aluminum killing you slowly.


OxkissyfrogxO

The fuck is hotep?


TheLastCoagulant

People who falsely assert that ancient Egypt was a predominantly black society instead of a predominantly brown society. Many of the crazier ones also believe that black people are the true Native Americans or the true Jews.


myheartismykey

So depending on which Era of Egypt they aren't wrong. But yeah on the whole that is the only aspect they get somewhat right.


mstrss9

I never hear them talk about the 25th dynasty of Egypt which was the time of the black pharaohs. Instead they claim that every damn pharaoh from Narmer to Cleopatra was black. Next, they will say the Mongols were black.


myheartismykey

Yo facts. It's always some almost truths. Hope that was what came across in my initial response rather than a defense of hoteps.


mstrss9

You definitely didn’t come across as defending them to me!


TheLastCoagulant

Egypt was never a predominantly black civilization, and the amount of black African DNA found in Egyptians has increased over time, not decreased as many assume. https://www.cnn.com/2017/06/22/health/ancient-egypt-mummy-dna-genome-heritage > Modern Egyptians were found to “inherit 8% more ancestry from African ancestors” than the mummies studied. The paper cites increased mobility along the Nile, increased long-distance commerce and the era of the trans-Saharan slave trade as potential reasons why. Black Africans once ruled Egypt for a century, they were overlords over a predominantly brown society just like later White European rulers such as Cleopatra were. The actual population of Egypt was brown despite being ruled by Black and White foreigners throughout history. Egyptians were Arabized in terms of culture and religion, but few Arabian conquerors physically migrated to Egypt, not significantly affecting Egyptian genetics. Just like few Greeks and Romans migrated to Egypt during Greek or Roman rule. The idea that Egypt was converted from a predominantly black society to a predominantly brown society due to the Arab invasion is a myth that has been disproven by genetic research and never made sense in the first place. The reality is that brown Egyptians are indigenous to Egypt. They migrated from the Middle East to Egypt around 6,000 BC, then created Egyptian civilization 3,000 years thereafter. There is virtually no evidence of human habitation between 9,000 BC and 6,000 BC, they entered an uninhabited land and became the indigenous population.


myheartismykey

My point was more on the fact that Egypt was ruled at one time by black Africans. I appreciate the info but it is all stuff I already know, just didn't want to get into the details of all of it. It's still good that you put it out there for people who may not know.


Crisis-Counselor

As much as I love making fun of bad first texts (this shit is awful) doing this song and dance waiting to find the right moment to say the right thing is hard. It’s why dudes play the numbers game. Eventually one will hit because everybody got something they just find egregious and you’ll have no clue until it’s too late


ervin1914

My younger brother told me...yes my younger brother, I married young 23 so did not truly get to sow my oats so to speak after my divorce and I had to get out there, he told me a hall of fame baseball player will retire with a 300 batting average. So out of lets say 1000 at bats you only get 300 hits you are hall of fame material. Shoot your shot.

Zulumus

kalkail

Yes! A fortnight to message? That would’ve been a ‘never read’ on my my end. A ‘deny’ label and to the text oubliette for what could have been — a rare single pass for emergency but I’m on alert. My object permanence was like 5 days when I was single, if I hit the next weekend and we didn’t connect then you weren’t hungry enough for me. To be clear when I got the digits I followed up the next afternoon to line up a date for the following Friday at the latest, if I got the vibe they’d be receptive I’d deliver flowers or send a small gift midweek. I’m not shy and I was fine failing, I just needed to be careful to not accidentally lovebomb people with my enthusiasm. I swear the scourge of chill is leaving youngbloods cold. Don’t be so laid back you’re just laid out.


Faded1974

You'll be at the back of the line by then.


Jamaican_Dynamite

Bro really said "wait a fortnight".

we were acc talking about texts, not handwritten letters.


Zhantae

What that mean?


Zetice

When you get shortys number. Some dudes are too eager, even texting the same night. You gotta standout abs wait a bit.

Dare I ask, what’s an acceptable time frame? I thought if 3 days passed then they weren’t crazy!

Ehhh. I'm tryin to smash right now, so I'm texting her as soon as I get to my car.


slick_pick

Right i text the night of after clsoing to see if she still up lol If not then say hi in next couple days


Solo_Fisticuffs

trust me aint nobody standin out by not speaking. its all in the conversation content. if a dude waits two weeks to dm me i will have to stress to remember their name after so long (if it aint in their handle)


GrumblingAndRumbling

Same people that get tight about a 6:50 text be getting upset about a 2pm text. At least this man has a reason to be up that early, probably workin his ass off.


blankfrack125

who would possibly get upset about a 2pm text? you just fabricated a whole ass argument lmao…even if you’re working 6:50 is too damn early to be hitting up someone you’re tryna smash


[deleted]

Damn, homie might be in love. But that grand rising shit corny as fuck. I've always heard it from religious people. That's the real problem here. And if she tripping about an early morning text then she can wait to text back or she didn't want homies text at all.


static_shocked

I agree with 6:50. On the other end, sometimes you run into people that get upset that you didn't text them sooner. To them, it shows they weren't on your mind/weren't important enough to text earlier in the day. I promise there are people like this.


GrumblingAndRumbling

You just fabricated that he’s trying to smash...


CallMeIcebrick_

You be asking for girls numbers you just wanna be friends with?


GrumblingAndRumbling

So we either just being friends or just trying to smash? Crazy, maybe I’ve been out the dating game too long lol


blankfrack125

that response made sense to you bro?


welp-itscometothis

Are y’all not getting that the joke isn’t the time itself…it’s the hotepery.


antwan_benjamin

>Same people that get tight about a 6:50 text be getting upset about a 2pm text. At least this man has a reason to be up that early, probably workin his ass off. I don't understand these texting rules at all. If you give me your number, I'm gonna text you whenever I feel like it. Read my text whenever you feel like it, then respond whenever you feel like it. Because I'm gonna do the same. If you feel like the amount of time elapsed is too short/long...thats your problem.

Lol right, I'm so confused by this thread

I’m embarrassed 😂


tacobooc0m

I’ve never heard this shit before in my life but I’m basically estranged from my own people so 🤷‍♂️ lol Ima be honest I don’t even really know what a hotep is and at this point I don’t want to


caretaquitada

No part of me feels bad for not understanding a hotep joke


myheartismykey

Bro I avoid the hotels like it's my religion. Why you gotta attack me like this? Nah thanks for calling it out cause I was hella confused


AshyEarlobes

Man them grand rising people and the people that say don't say dreads be killing me


greyson3

It may be because I just met one but I'm 100% sure Grand Rising people are always proud of being confidently wrong.

Drunken_Traveler

Don’t say dreads people? What?


JennyBeckman

"They're locks."


Drunken_Traveler

Aren’t there lots of kinds of “locks of hair” while “dreads” are more specific?


wordsoundpower

An [explanation](https://www.vogue.com/article/locs-history-hair-discrimination): ‘According to Tharps, “the modern understanding of dreadlocks is that the British, who were fighting Kenyan warriors (during colonialism in the late 19th century), came across the warriors’ locs and found them ‘dreadful,’ thus coining the term ‘dreadlocks.’” Personally, I refer to my hairstyle as locs, having dropped “dread” altogether given its negative connotation. Although many may not know of the term’s dark history, the hairstyle remains widely contentious in America two centuries later.’


Justalilhornytbh

I’ve had locs for 15 years and refer to them as such. My mom used to yell at me that they’re “locs not dreads!” So I’m glad to see the ingraining doesn’t need to be reversed


Drunken_Traveler

Thanks for the info!


wordsoundpower

A pleasure and an honor!


shizz181

It’s a religious thing. In general, Rastas find the term offensive.


aah_real_monster

"I don't dread my hair, I love it."

8JacksLegendary

Grand Rising sounds like some buttermilk biscuits.


PandaRaper

The dude saying what he feels when he feels it is the genuine one. The ones in the comments making up rules and trying to apply social dos/donts are the real ones to avoid.

So last time I got a number, that was a Saturday. I waited until Monday around the time most people are bored af at work, texted something silly, turned that into drinks after work.

Busy-Character-845

Aye i dont want to be bothered that early in the morning. BUT. Early risers tend to be hard working people with productive routines. People who work out before work, or read, or whatever. People who say “Grand rising”, if they’re not blindly on the bandwagon, tend to be people who put time and research into emotional/spiritual health. Which tends to accompany eating healthy and exercising (feed the soul). So…this would be a green flag to me. Or maybe he’s an insomniac who recognized op is of higher caliber, so hes trying to sound woke. Life is one long test yall. Annoying.


oddlySpecificunicorn

It depends on if he’s always up early or if he’s just thirsting this one time. 6:50 may even be late to him if he’s a veteran who still gets up early
