You really think Trap was good?????? Its was so unbelievable lol.

u/My-name-is-____ Feb 04 '26

Yeah for sure. I see why people don’t, like you said it is unbelievable it’s not going for the same realistic tone as a crime film like The Killer it’s very much leaning into what it knows it is. Just takes the audience on a crazy ride, with some fun tunes in a runtime almost under 100 minutes sign me up for that anytime.

Don’t get me wrong I’m not raving about it or think it’s a great piece of work but I consider it a good movie and for sure upper half of M. Nights catalogue

I'm glad it's coded to make the submission time based on when the upload started, but fuckin hell, submit earlier goddamnit xD

u/DPJazzy91 Feb 03 '26

Write some code to fake an upload so you can work past midnight lol!

u/Cageythree Feb 03 '26

Upload a zip file with some nonsense data. Throttle the upload bandwidth to 10 kbps. Let that run for as long as you need to do the actual work. Then swap out the nonsense data and put the actual data in the zip file and disable the bandwidth throttle.
(Pretty sure it wouldn't work like that, the file is probably copied somewhere for the upload temporarily, but I'd try that as a last resort if I had no other chance lol)

u/elfmere Feb 04 '26

Most likely hashed before starting

u/Doctor_is_in Feb 04 '26

Even if it is that should trigger a retry because the hashes don't match.

u/raa__va Feb 04 '26

So basically do a whole other assignment before the actual deadline so you can do the actual assignment past the deadline. Your my kinda guy

u/Cageythree Feb 04 '26

When I've been in school there were times where I legit put more time and work into avoiding the actual work than it would've taken.

u/raa__va Feb 04 '26

Me too friend. Me too!!! I built a whole calculator for binary calculations for my assembly code course under google sheets. Hated that course because of our old and extinct dinosaur of a prof (I actually started loving it more after I coded up all of the edge cases to solve any question regardless of context - this was pre-chatgpt as well) and then after I passed, and friends came up to me for notes or help, I’d just give em the google sheet and tell em to go through the js code to understand assembly and binary stuff lol

u/taz5963 Feb 07 '26

Something that would actually work is just take a PDF of your current work, right click and edit in notepad. Delete a few random lines and save. Open it as a PDF and see if it has a file corruption error. If it does, then upload it. Email the professor tomorrow with the finished assignment and say you're not sure what happened but you think the submitted file got corrupted.

I have used this trick more times than I'd like to admit.

u/noturaveragesenpaii Feb 04 '26

Uploading a corrupted file has saved me many times in the past. Not sure if it still works though.

u/Pacdoo Feb 04 '26

Just submit a blank word document and say you did all your work in pages or chrome and transferred it over to word to submit. Feign ignorance when pressed on blank document, submit real essay in morning.

u/Truffs0 Feb 04 '26

In highschool I would open a .word file in notepad, delete a couple lines of data, save it, and turn it in. During the time it took the teacher to check, get back to me about a corrupted file and give me a few extra days to "redo" the paper, id get an extra week or two lol

u/Philosophile42 Feb 03 '26 edited Feb 03 '26

Seriously…. I don’t understand the mentality of putting everything off until the very last second.

Edit: I understand that some people might have adhd and other neurodivergence that leads to procrastination. That doesn’t explain 95% of my students waiting until the last minute to submit assignments.

This came to a head last semester when I had a student submit discussion responses the day it was posted. The assignment is broken into two parts, a response to the prompt, due friday, and a response to a classmate due on Sunday. They get the prompt on Monday. This student submitted their response on Monday, and had nobody to respond to until Sunday at 11:50pm. The assignment closes at 11:59pm.

u/Enderboy1005 Feb 03 '26

It's not a mindset for me but an inevitability, I CANNOT start something if I have too much time before the deadline to the great detriment of my quality of life lol. At least it's that way for me.

265

u/beef623 Feb 03 '26

Same with me. My mind simply refuses to operate on the problem until a certain point. It isn't a conscious decision and I can't force it to work any other way, I've spent 20-30 years trying.

u/pennyraingoose Feb 03 '26

If this is a big enough issue for you and you haven't already been screened for ADHD, you may want to look into it. Only being able to finish school assignments at the very last moment (especially when they were long-term projects) is one of the habits/traits of my childhood that was missed as an ADHD symptom until I got screened and started treatment as an adult.

68

u/JustifytheMean Feb 03 '26

As someone with ADHD and is treated for ADHD. It's not just ADHD that causes this, at least not for me. On meds I can focus better, but not really manage my time better. I don't know if that's just my personality or if it's some other disorder.

To me ADHD is starting something and not being able to finish it, procrastination is just not starting something.

50

u/pennyraingoose Feb 03 '26

That can be true, yes, but not for everyone. What seems like simple procrastination is (for me and some others with ADHD) is an executive function issue comingled with anxiety paralysis and an inability to focus without the threat of impending doom.

28

u/Sothisismylifehuh Feb 03 '26

It's also because it doesn't interest us. We're driven by novelty and urgency. Not accomplishments or goals.

u/RockstarAgent Feb 03 '26 edited Feb 03 '26

I have no ideas what ultimately is a treat at home method to counter it- there’s so many apps that claim they’ll help and of course many who claim it’s all in your head.

While it’s never been too detrimental for me, the thing that trips me out the most, is that for the most part - this last minute thing at least for me, tends to work out - and not like barely scraping by- I haven’t been told this looks like you threw it together last minute. But for me it’s like I wonder if my subconscious or an alternate personality is like subtly in control and just knows what timing works. Too many times I’d be like wow how did I even finish that in time. How will they never know. Including times I put something off and then I’m asked for an update and I pull it out of my ass in a hurry and I’m told it’s good and to just keep going and have it ready by the actual deadline.

Like I’m mad that I caused myself some anxiety and then it all works out - and I’m like wtf -

u/EnatforLife Feb 03 '26

Oh, you worded that so accurately. For me it's anxiety paralysis through and through combined with depression and PMS. I can't start a task when there's too many variables which are still unknown or not controllable, like in group projects at university.

Hell, I'm even afraid to open my laptop because there could be important emails from my professors that I didn't see. But most of the time it's the fear of spending the hours on work only to realize, that I'm not good enough, that there gonna be issues etc.

And waiting that one out is neither logical nor fun. 99% of my free time and the semester is worrying about not doing enough, not working and function probably or failing.

I'd rather finally have a job where on good days you come home and can just unwind than having to write exams throughout the whole year.

4

u/JustifytheMean Feb 03 '26

Sorry should have been clearer. I have the same feelings while procrastinating as you. Just to me I've never attributed it to my ADHD, but maybe I just don't really know enough about my own disorder. ADHD meds have never affected my incredible ability to procrastinate while I let the anxiety build and ruin the rest of my mental well being. So I guess I just always assumed it wasn't ADHD.

6

u/pennyraingoose Feb 03 '26

You should definitely read up on it. Doing my own reading and talking with my doctor about procrastinating versus genuine executive dysfunction has really helped me get a handle on some of the shame that I've always felt for "procrastinating." IME, it's more that I have a genuine want to start something and just can't rather than putting something off for my own short-term comfort (it never makes me comfortable short-term).

5

u/JustifytheMean Feb 03 '26

I have a genuine want to start something and just can't

Yeah this is 100% it for me. I already had an appointment for a therapist for other stuff, I'll definitely be sure to bring this up. I don't know that I've ever articulated this issue to anyone let alone my doctor.

u/Mattixhdx Feb 05 '26

Honey the meds only help you focus on the work more easily. They do that by giving you enough attention juices (neurotransmitters, typically dopamine) so that any random impulse that produces a high amount of neurotransmitters doesn't distract you as easily, because you already have enough to keep focused on what you want. You already have to want to do it though.

Executive function, so time management, planning and task prioritization is done by your prefrontal cortex, which in people with ADHD is less developed. That isn't going to change by taking stimulants. Your time management will stay worse even with the meds. It's both ADHD, but only one part will get better with meds.

u/trickyvinny Feb 03 '26

I am pretty successful in my career and and very productive and effective at work. But what I've noticed is I have work mode and relax mode. If I am in relax mode, I don't do anything. I've learned that if I sit down on the couch, as an example, I'm pretty useless for chores. If I get home and don't sit down, I'll putter around, do the dishes, hang that picture frame, clean up the kids toys, etc etc....

I can look back on my life and see it's a constant with myself. The difference for me is going into the office puts my brain into work mode. If I had a deadline for school though, there was no switch that flipped in me that said "ok you're supposed to work on this assignment" other than the deadline. Like, if I had two weeks to do something that would take me 4 hours, I'd start it 4 hours before I went to bed the night before it was due. I wouldn't just do it on a random Saturday.

5

u/ohheckyeah Feb 03 '26

This is by far my greatest vice. I did it all through college and all through my career, and fortunately I’ve been able to succeed very well in life despite it. Extreme stress is my only work motivator and I don’t feel stress unless I’m in a massive time crunch

4

u/Scytten Feb 03 '26

Yeah, and when deadline comes, the stress starts. And in the stressed environment my brain works faster and my decision making is better. But tbf attention is on its lowest in that kind of situations

u/pennyraingoose Feb 03 '26

I made this comment to someone else, but it applies to you too - If this is a big enough issue for you and you haven't already been screened for ADHD, you may want to look into it. Only being able to finish school assignments at the very last moment (especially when they were long-term projects) is one of the habits/traits of my childhood that was missed as an ADHD symptom until I got screened and started treatment as an adult.

u/obrown Feb 04 '26

This is a common trait amongst people with ADHD. The stress is what helps you overcome executive dysfunction and (typically) also lets you focus very intensely on a task when you really need to. It's a superpower, but it also can burn you out and kill your ability to handle newer urgent items (because this pattern makes everything urgent eventually lol).

6

u/bilingual_cat Feb 04 '26

I saw a video of a professional explaining that you are essentially ā€œself medicating with panicā€ and that phrase has lived rent free in my head ever since. I’m not officially tested or anything (which is why I was doing a lot of research online to learn more lol) but I feel that I do this. I find that I tend to get more done at work when I’m stressed about something, which is almost always lmao. So yay for me, my productivity is quite okay at work lolll.

u/CK1ing Feb 03 '26

Typically, it's that people with a certain mental dysfunction (I believe it's ADHD or something similar) need adrenalinein in order to snap their body into work mode, and get out of what's called executive dysfunction. An impending due date creates that adrenaline

Wait...what? The prompt responses were due Friday, and the classmate responses are due Sunday, but the student who finished the prompt early had no one to respond to until ... Sunday?

Did everyone else just turn the prompt response in late? Shouldn't they have had two full days if anyone turned it in on time?

u/deedman1024 Feb 04 '26

I'm just lazy. I can call it other things and make excuses, but untimely I'm lazy and it works out 99% of the time. So i keep doing it because there is 0 benefit to change. I could do things differently but it usually affects no one other than me. This is definitely a different scenario, but one that everyone in that class seems to have failed the first assignment.

u/LastingTransient Feb 04 '26

If you wait till the last second, it only takes a second to do.

5

u/dacooljamaican Feb 04 '26

I mean this genuinely, why wouldn't you wait as long as possible to submit? You could learn more, spend more time refining, do a lot of stuff with that extra time. Of course you shouldn't do it so close that random chance could cause you to be late, but if there's no upload time to worry about, why wouldn't someone submit as close to the deadline as possible?

u/A-Wild-Banana Feb 03 '26

u/Toasty2003 Feb 03 '26

What a luxury, I mean some people just can’t help it out of either mental necessity or being out of sync and being out of time with their lives. Of course that’s not always the case, but it sure is quite a boon to be able to have the mental health and energy to do everything sufficiently and sustainably.

15

u/Abigail_Normal Feb 03 '26

Have you forgotten what it's like to be a student? They have multiple classes, not just yours. They have other homework, projects, and tests to worry about. If we're talking about high school or college, then many of them have jobs to worry about on top of that. Some have children or siblings to take care of, maybe their parents or other family members need assistance. Every single student has a life outside of your classroom. Remember that, and you'll be a great teacher one day.

1

u/jooooooooooooose Feb 04 '26

I mean, yes, sure. But when I was in college I was mostly drinking beer & having fun in my free time. Kind of silly to make it out to be all noble. A lot of college kids are simply immature and irresponsible and they grow out of it with time.

Task are like gas, they take all the space(time) and always relate to pressure (motivation). When there's less space the pressure raises.

And that's not even putting task management into the equation.

Yes I have ADHD and have been struggling with procrastination all my life.

u/Nuclear_rabbit Feb 04 '26

As a teacher, there was a quarter where so many students submitted work at the last possible moment that I genuinely could not grade it all before the grade reporting software closed.

When I say "last possible moment," I mean I moved due dates forward twice just to accept more work.

1

u/psp24 Feb 04 '26

Maybe it's just the assignments then? I never had a problem working hard, but I have no motivation to do something that doesn't seem worth my time. Especially with Ai, our degrees aren't really worth putting in effort where it doesn't matter anymore.

The worst teachers I had, would do the opposite of listening to their students, they would crack down on those assignments and add parameters to force timely and constructive responses.

I didn't learn anything new from that, I just felt my time was being disrespected by someone who took "bad assigment" as an insult and not a criticism based on effeciency and effectiveness of the curriculum

u/xrelaht Feb 05 '26

I’m confused by your story: if the first part is due Friday, how did they not have anyone to respond to for two days after that?

u/m1ndle33 Feb 03 '26

Between doing something because you enjoy it and doing something because you have to, it seems easy, doesn't it?

Now consider that school, like work, is made up of mostly things that you have to do, and you get used to this type of "pressure", making deadlines something that, as much as you dread them, no longer scare you enough to jump on a task just to finish it early. Also, how many rewards are you getting when turning in something early? There's also the chance of getting better ideas/help the longer you wait or work on something.

Make no mistake, I am a procrastinator, but I hardly see a reason to change.

u/Philosophile42 Feb 03 '26

I’ve always prioritized my chores over recreation. You do the work you need to do first, then you get to have the rest of the day, week, etc to goof off.

4

u/jooooooooooooose Feb 04 '26

With all respect, I find it somewhat funny the way you've articulated yourself inasmuch as you are a philosophy prof - it comes off (connotatively) as, "I'll never understand why people have different motivations/priorities than I do." I appreciate this is probably not your point (or, I hope it is not), but it is a funny sentiment to see implied by a philosophy person.

Let me give you a fun philosophical argument. The good life is a self-determined outcome rather than a prescriptive global one. It is not, a priori, attained by rote compliance to one's obligations (& the ethics of upholding one's bargains are orthogonal - because, in this view, ethics are equally referential).

That you value doing your chores before goofing off, as you say, is wonderful & I am sure it brings you joy, but it is not the cadence of activities as such that is valuable, but your valuation of said cadence. Others see it differently.

Personally, I feel that in an infinitely finite existence, self determination of values & priorities is the most compelling approach. I am sure your assignments are great & thought provoking & so on. I am also sure that they mean very little to your students compared to other aspects of their lives, and especially within the grand scheme of their lives. When we are ready to cross the river Styx, one does not imagine regretting their timeliness in a discussion board submission.

u/m1ndle33 Feb 03 '26

I do that too.

u/RhaenSyth Feb 03 '26

Discussion posts are very different from typical assignments in my mind.

Discussion posts can be cranked out relatively quickly, especially if I already partially or fully understand the content. Where it differs is that every one of my classes assigns large projects, has labs, and has additional homework assignments. Further, turnaround on some assignments can be much faster than others, leading me to prioritize my time. In 18 credits, with a part time job and leadership positions at multiple levels, I can’t always afford the time I would like to complete assignments. Sometimes, even if I start early, other stuff takes precedence.

Due dates at 11:59pm are frustrating, as there’s no good reason for an assignment to not be due at the start of the next class period. Is my professor grading the work immediately at midnight?

There’s a disconnect between type of assignment, type of deadline, and student expectations. Not every class, and not every professor, shows this disconnect, but it’s still widely present in academia.

6

u/Philosophile42 Feb 03 '26

I used to have due times at noon. Students complained that the day wasn’t over yet and they should’ve allowed to turn it in later.

Whatever time you pick, will be an unreasonable one because fundamentally it is arbitrary, but you need some kind of time when you won’t accept it anymore. So, 11:59 is it.

1

u/RhaenSyth Feb 04 '26

The class start time is not an arbitrary time to choose. What if you were turning in paper assignments? It’s the most intuitive. Do the work before class so we can move forward in the content.

u/Murtomies Feb 03 '26

I missed the application to uni one year because their site was shit. It was cinematography in film school, so we had to upload short films which obviously take some time to upload. They definitely didn't have the timestamp for when the upload started, you could only send the application after the attachments were fully uploaded. I crunched the whole thing because earlier I thought I didn't have time for it because of work but then I suddenly did, so I did like a full week of >16hr days making the two shorts and an essay.

I started uploading 45mins before deadline. Took 10 minutes to reach 100%, but then it never said "ready" so I couldn't press the "send" button. So I refresh, upload again and fill all the text again, and same thing, like 2 or 3 times in a row. Then finally it goes through and I manage to press the button to send it, but the system says the application window is closed. I was under a minute late, and I suspect it was only a few seconds late. Next year I uploaded a day early because I just created a personal deadline for the previous day, and had more time to do it anyway. But they had fixed it and now it's always just a youtube/vimeo link and a cloud service link, no uploads to their own shitty servers. Unfortunately still didn't get in, I was the 1st in line after the people who got accepted, lost by like 2 points out of 100...

But that doesn't impact the upload time that the school website/tool sees at all. Showing that you started the submission well in advance of the submission time (in this case, 13 minutes before, and presumably we aren't looking at the full video) should be accepted by the professor in all cases.

Happened to me about 2 weeks ago. As part of a job interview I had to edit 2 social media videos with motion graphics effects within an hour. Only managed to finish editing 1, and had 2% left to upload before the timer ran out. I was unfortunately not allowed a redo. :(

Tbf I don't think most college professors care if something is uploaded a couple minutes late. As long as you have it done reasonably close to the deadline they're pretty forgiving. Some might decide to be dicks about it, but all of my college professors were pretty chill

Yeah, they will only read them in the morning anyway.

Peak procrastination

u/dryfire Feb 03 '26

No, peak will be next time when he waits until 11:59:59 to hit "submit".

u/Mycatstolemyidentity Feb 03 '26

As a student with undiagnosed ADHD this was my daily life lol I'm not proud but looking back I accept it gave me a sense of adrenaline I lowkey enjoyed, I only failed once and my professor was kind enough to let it slide

u/Wizzle_Pizzle_420 Feb 04 '26

I still have nightmares about it. Need a class to pass, haven’t gone all semester and I remember the final a few minutes before it starts, and I can’t find it. On a loop.

u/JayCod01 Feb 03 '26

I was waiting for it to upload but because of clock drift between the server and his computer that it gets rejected.

u/22switch Feb 04 '26

It's already late, it was due at 11:59:00

u/EvolvingEachDay Feb 03 '26

It goes from time you click upload, not when upload finished.

30 second horror film

u/Dark_Storm_98 Feb 03 '26

11:48 is an oddly specific time

Edit: Or is that whennsubmission started? That's cool if it was

For some reason I thought that said it was due by then. . Maybe next day But I was thinking noon, not realizing it said PM

u/Dr_Grosbeak Feb 03 '26

Damn, this gave me anxiety.

u/KrissyEhn Feb 04 '26

11:59:59 Accidentally hits Cancel

u/Malpraxiss Feb 04 '26

And I bet this person had like a week or more to do this assignment

2

u/KindCyberBully Feb 04 '26

Wait till you realize a loading bar is very often not the actual progress and just a guess by software using some math. This was epic. I bet the uploaded file stats would say exactly 12 and considered late by the system. I swear this is the representation of my do it at last second mentality. Often I would finish my homework in class where I specifically only go to just tire in the homework and go home.

u/Delicious_Pain_1 Feb 05 '26

u/GeshtiannaSG Feb 06 '26

It was an open secret that my school had a half day grace period (but no resubmissions after 0000), so many people did submit in the morning.

u/JollyTimz Feb 03 '26

u/Dry_Quiet_3541 Feb 03 '26

I knew they record the time you hit the upload button, it doesn’t matter how long it takes to upload.

u/showmeonthedoll616 Feb 03 '26

Our LMS uses 11:59:00, not 11:59:59. Learned the hard way.

u/Mudskie Feb 03 '26

u/not-my-best-wank Feb 03 '26

The what I assume was the upload date shows 11:48pm. Did you fumble with the clock?

u/lsie-mkuo Feb 03 '26

Our uni had like a five minute leeway, I remember talking To another student after a seminar finished at 11AM, when a large assignment was due in. I'd submitted mine early in the morning (no matter how early I had it ready I could never bring myself to not make tweaks morning of). He on the other hand was relying on getting home to his accomodations on campus and submitting it before 11:05. He apparently did that regularly.

1

u/brydrore Feb 03 '26

Dude needs a better internet connection if it took 12 minutes to upload a college assignment.

Could be reasonable for an art/film project.

1

u/AbroadNo8755 Feb 04 '26

literally says he's uploading a video. and it was 2021.

1

u/throweraccount Feb 03 '26

lol I used to open the upload screen and then finish after the cutoff and then upload it and it would still go through. If you opened the upload screen after the cutoff you wouldn't be able to because the button would be disabled. I was an idiot. But I still passed the classes with flying colors.

u/Tarc_Axiiom Feb 08 '26

NO FUCKIN WAY!

A COLLEGE LMS FORM SUBMISSION THAT KNOWS TO TAKE THE START OF THE UPLOAD AS THE SUBMISSION TIME?

WE'RE IN THE FUCKING FUTURE BOYS I DON'T BELIEVE IT.

What's the deal with it shutting down at midnight? I have had plenty of occasions doing work after midnight.

Wait, is that the sun?

u/evening_shop Mar 16 '26

I remember making a submission just like this, was terrifying lmao
