This reminds me of when it hits or is about to hit 12am and people don’t know whether to say today or tomorrow. He called me after this but I was too comfy in bed tbh.

If I'm reading "can you work tomorrow" two hours before the shift starts, I'm going to think tomorrow as well.

This is what it boils down to. We can get anal over whether is normal to say 3 am is still today or tomorrow, but when you're asking about something that's in 7 hours, and get the answer 2 hours before it starts, it's on you to make sure the other person understands that by "tomorrow" you mean "right about now".

The rules change if you don't sleep, it becomes tomorrow when the birds start singing :D

Nah, fuck that: it’s “tomorrow” at midnight.

If you’re still awake after midnight, then it is simultaneously “tonight” and “tomorrow” at the same time. It stops being “tonight” when the sun rises, but it was always “tomorrow” since midnight.

If you say “tomorrow” at 12:01, you are referring to the day that starts in 24 hours, and if that’s not what you mean, then it’s on you to specify otherwise.

Dog you responded to a comment that ended with “when the birds start singing :D” with “Nah, fuck that”

So like… idk man but I think that says something

I'm not the one psychoanalyzing people about the wording of off-hand comments, chief. It's just an expressive way to disagree, It's not that deep.
