More like 1:30 PM, during midwinter. 😭 The long dark near the Arctic circle...

[–] [email protected] 13 points 3 days ago

But also the other 23 hours.

I can't wait to finally have winter again. Thanks, this brought a tear to my eye.

It's much preferred over pitch black darkness at 3:30pm in the winter...

[–] [email protected] 46 points 4 days ago (4 children)

I think you're forgetting that night time is cool and day time is for losers.

[–] [email protected] 38 points 4 days ago

It's a lot less cool when you're robbed the option of day time entirely, because you have to spend daylight hours at work...you wake up, its dark...you leave work, its dark. And on top, it's rainy and cold and windy.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 3 days ago

Mostly losing my will to live for months every year is not very cool.

I actually like that the sun doesn't set until like ten in the evening where I live. It also starts rising at 3 in the morning. I love it. I prefer this to depression season the other half of the year xS

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Found the Dane :)

I've been to Denmark and I agree, it's great to have sun until late in the evening. It feels like you have more life after a work day.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

then there is the winter when you casually just realize that you haven't seen the sun in weeks, maybe event months because you leave for work before the sun rises and go home after it sets and in the weekends you are inside recovering from the workweek.

But still i like to say that it takes the whole winter to yearn for the summer but it only takes one day of summer to want it to be winter again.

Sorry, but I prefer this to winter days where I don't see the sun at all because it's only up while I'm at work.

Do you know how depressing it is to only experience the sun while at work and not outside of it in the winter?

[–] [email protected] 23 points 3 days ago

Yes, I do know. Funny thing because I normally don't care about going out and such. But going to work before sunrise and going home after sunset is depressing.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 3 days ago

Especially those times of year where you're in the office before the sun rises, and leave after it sets. Oh, and you work in a windowless room.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 4 days ago

Yes. It creates a weird mind-fuck where i actually like a thing about my job, and the corporation has spared me a great evil.

Better than winter depression. Better than recognizing it's getting dark, wondering where the day has gone but it's only 16:30. Better than waking up in the darkness and realising it's still two or three hours till sunrise. Better than going to work before the sun rises and getting home after it sets, only seeing the sun like an image, a distant promise when looking out the window at work.

I don't care about the sun being up at 9 or 10 still.

I hate the god damn heat! Get this climate change under control! 😬

That’s a hard ask of the stupids of the world.

As someone who's house is entirely powered by solar, I love the long days! I also do a lot of outside work so the extra hours of daylight really help me there too

During winter it was so overcast and cloudy that I had to run a generator almost the entirety of the season

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Full solar power is the dream! That's awesome.

Astrophotographers be like:

Ah yes, staying up until 3am for 3 hours of good data

[–] [email protected] 16 points 3 days ago

9? pft try living in Alaska when the sun rises at 1 AM. And the other half the year is nonstop crushing darkness.

Your attitude is entirely dependant on your latitude my natty dude

Checking in as the weirdo who likes both the long summer days and the short winter days.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 3 days ago

This is great.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 days ago

That's daylight saving time's fault.

X-Files in Alaska:

He's talking to himself? Must be the lack of sleep.

One of the reasons why i vehemently hate summer. The other one is temperature. And another one is people. Too much people.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 4 days ago (1 children)

What if I told you that ALL the seasons have people in them? Kinda gross to think too much about it.

I'm enjoying seeing my solar panels still producing electricity for the house at 8:55pm at night.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 4 days ago (3 children)

Yeah summer is terrible, with how you have to put on five layers to stay cool in the sunshine and then go shovel out all the sunshine in your driveway and/or scrape all the sunshine off your car before you drive ten mph all the way to work while fellow commuters slip & slide all over the sunshine covered roads…

[–] [email protected] 14 points 4 days ago (7 children)

wearing 5 layers to be warm is better than wearing 1 layer and still boiling alive and literally having your skin burn and still feel painful and like it's cooking the next day while sitting in a pitch black room

[–] [email protected] 17 points 4 days ago (4 children)

As my mom always said

"If you're cold you can put on more clothes, but you can only get so naked"

I love it, for real. Short winter days suck, especially after going back to standard time. Having light in the evening is wonderful.

But more evening sun means better light for evening events. I don't know of too many early morning events other than work/commute and fuck the boss' extra 5% productivity from the average person, I'd rather drive in the dark.

I am a solstice enjoyer. I want 16 hr days in summer and 16 hr nights in winter. 12-12 is basic and cringe. Fuck the fake ass seasons like autumn and spring and fuck the equator!
