🌃 SOCIAL-CITY

Every other experiment shows a topic right now. This one shows its clock. A whole week of hourly engagement, folded into a single skyline: the hours the internet is loud about a topic are lit towers, the hours it goes quiet are dark and asleep. Some cities run nine-to-five. Some never sleep. Come see what time your topic wakes up.

HOW THE DATA BECOMES A SKYLINE

a week of hourly engagement→ folded into one 24-hour day, UTC

each hour of the day→ a building — taller and brighter the louder the topic is then

the current UTC hour→ the glowing tower under the moon, drifting across as time passes

loudest vs quietest hour→ the sleep-depth reading — does this city ever really sleep?

day-of-week engagement→ the weekly bars — weekend topic or weekday habit

peak hour, consistency→ its chronotype: prime-time, early riser, night owl, or no fixed hours

The rhythm is real: it's the topic's own hourly engagement, averaged over each hour of the week so a single loud afternoon doesn't fake a pattern. Hours are UTC — a topic can be nocturnal in London and nine-to-five in Los Angeles at the same time.
