A wild TikTok video is showing what things look like when you leave a bar at midnight, but it’s still light out. And there’s nowhere else in the United States can you get that kind of experience but Alaska.

Tiktokker @jennababyy.1 shared a video of her and her friends out drinking, with the video having a caption of: “bars in alaska at 11pm”


And it looks pretty fun.

11pm bar hopping in alaska🙃 #alaskalife #anchorage #fyp

In Anchorage, Alaska, there is a period in the summer months when there’s 24 hours of daylight.

The video shows that @jennababyy.1 and her friends are able to barhop, and get some street food with ease thanks to the daylight. This is despite it being close to midnight.

If you weren’t aware of the context, it might just look like some friends day drinking, with only a few people on the street.

The midnight sun might be jarring, but there’s no denying it’s captivating.

Bright skies, and a bustling culture can disrupt peoples sleep cycle, making people stay up way later than they otherwise would.

But there’s ways to try and help it out. Most citizens in the town will use blackout curtains to cut back on light and allow for easier sleep.

It’s bizarre.

The reverse in the winter is just as maddening. Polar night with no daylight provides at most, a little twilight in the middle of the day. It’s an experience that can last for two months and often leads to increased isolation and depression.

Because of these two solar events, towns that close to the north often get tourists who come to experience the midnight sun and polar night.

Though some people would prefer not to do that.

The strange timeframes for people can cause some shifts in how society reacts to time. Many see the unchanging day/night as a moment to wake up when they want, and go to sleep when they feel like it.

So a little “day drinking” at 11pm is hardly the strangest thing you’ll see if you ever go visit.

'Based On A True Story' Movies That Aren't True At All

The entertainment industry has long been criticized for their creative license when it comes to retelling history or anything "based on a true story."

Going back to the silent film era and D.W. Griffith's ridiculously inaccurate White supremacist propaganda Birth Of A Nation to Mel Gibson's Braveheart to Disney's Pocahontas, some films go way beyond creative license and careen into total malarkey.

On the flip side, not everyone takes kindly to wealthy people who act like they're "one of us".

Musk's AI Chatbot Throws Republicans Under The Bus After Being Asked About Economy

Grok, billionaire Elon Musk's very own chatbot, threw Republicans under the bus after software engineer Alex Coke asked it if Democrats or Republicans have been better for the economy in the past 30 years, only for it to answer that yes, in fact, Democrats are the winners when it comes to economic policy.

Economic policy is certainly on everyone's minds these days. A new CNN poll conducted by SSRS shows that Americans are not pleased with President Donald Trump’s management of the economy, leaving him with unfavorable ratings on what is considered the nation’s most important issue.

CNN Airs Brutal Reminder Of Trump's Previous Economic Predictions—And They Did Not Age Well

CNN came with the receipts, airing a supercut of clips from 2020 and 2024 of President Donald Trump making hilariously wrong economic predictions—a damning reel of evidence as financial markets decline and investor concerns grow over Trump’s trade policies.

In fact, Trump’s escalating trade war pushed the S&P 500 more than 10% below its record high set just last month. A drop of this size is significant enough that professional investors call it a “correction,” and the S&P 500’s 1.4% decline on Thursday marked its first since 2023.
