If it's socially acceptable for dogs and cats to get the Zoomies, it should be socially acceptable for me too.

I should get to stop whatever I'm working on, and run around being crazy for 5 minutes, and everyone should laugh and say I'm cute.

yes but only after midnight, mogwai

Can we at least make it socially acceptable for children in school?

I mean, THEY ARE CHILDREN. And we make them sit in a chair. For hours.

That's actually a great idea, I had an elementary teacher, and at least once a day, she would have us stop class get in a circle and just wiggle, dance, and generally shake around. We loved it, and now I realize she was probably doing this when the class was getting jittery and not paying attention.

And you should get a treat.

The trick is to adopt the "Wild, creative genius who breaks all the rules" persona, then you can not just get the zoomies at work, you can become a public-facing marketing executive whose work literally is having the zoomies.

@raganwald @RickiTarr Yahbut, I feel like if it were my job, the magic would stop working.
