This is madness

Astrophotographers be like:

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

This is great.

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

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.

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

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!

More like 1:30 PM, during midwinter. 😭 The long dark near the Arctic circle...
And it's besutiful.
- For ghouls, maybe.
But also the other 23 hours.
I can't wait to finally have winter again. Thanks, this brought a tear to my eye.
I love that, thank you very much.
3*

I love the long days lol

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.
- The problem is not of stupidity, but of concerted efforts by fossil fuel lobbies to muddy the research, create anti-green propaganda, climate science denialism, hide determinant research about climate change, and lobby politicians who are against the fight on climate change.

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

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.
- Been there. Starting at 7:30am, before dawn. Finishing at 4:30pm, after sunset. Fine I'll just go without any daylight for 5 days per week then.
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.
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.
I think that most winter lovers/summer haters live fairly south (like, not in areas north enough for taiga or tundra) and have never experienced a real winter. Come back to me when you have spent 5 months with only a few hours of sunlight, streets slippery as hell, barely any vegetation or animals, and being cold as hell.
- I lived in Fairbanks, AK for almost three years. I've also lived in Bethel for a little over a year and spent about 6 months in Barrow. I grew up in Anchorage. If I could afford to have seasonal houses, my summer home would be in Barrow and my winter home would be in Fairbanks.
  Fuck anywhere that gets above 65F at any point during the year. It's currently 62F in Anchorage and while it's bearable, it's bordering on becoming miserable.
  Fuck Summer and the Sun it rode in.
- Have you never heard of Antarctica?
- I think it's a bit hard to live further south than Punta Arenas but I loved winter there despite it being far from warm.
- Nah, I know Finnish people who like winter and their winters are hard core.

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.

Fuck the sun
- No, fuck you.
My depression goes away in the Winter. Come summer I get seasonal agression and hide in the basement.
Seeing the sun rise over the snow as you take the train to work can be quite nice though. Who am i kidding we only get proper snow every 5 years now.
Can't have the highs without the lows. Around the equator it's basically light from 6am to 6pm the entire year.
- That doesn't mean that I have to love each season equally or that my depression magically goes away.
You act like the sun is good to be around and does something other than give you cancer.
Also, how the hell do you enjoy outside at like 50c/112f?
- You act like the sun […] does something other than give you cancer.
  Have you ever heard about vitamin d (no dick jokes, I dare you!)?
  Also, how the hell do you enjoy outside at like 50c/112f?
  You live in the wrong region, my friend.

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

I think you're forgetting that night time is cool and day time is for losers.
- People who bark about diurnal superiority are losers.
- depends where you live
- Mostly losing my will to live for months every year is not very cool.
- 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.
How far north do you live to get darkness at 3.30 pm?
Its also not a choice between ops pictures and this because i am convinced they are criticising daylight saving In summer, which does not affect winter.
- That's around the same latitude as Kiel in Northern Germany. Go up to Stockholm and it sets around 2:45 pm at the earliest.
- https://www.timeanddate.com/sun/sweden/stockholm?month=12
- Yes, it is mocking DST.
  Where I live the sun comes up at 6 am and sets at 9 pm. That makes the noon at 1:30 pm. If we didn't have DST it would be up at 5 and down at 8 pm with noon at 12:30, which would be preferable.
  DST fucks with my sleep schedule, I hate it so much.
- DST also makes no real difference here, if its sunrise at 4:30am and sundown at 11:30pm or sunrise at 3:30am and sundown at 10:30pm doesn't matter whatsoever.
- I live just about in the middle of Norway. It's nearly always dark in the winter and nearly always light in summer.

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.

They're equally awful but in their own ways.
- No. No i think roasting when you open your front door is worse.
- They're both equally just fine imo. During winter it can be really bright with snow and sunshine feels so much better and during summer I just get heavier curtains.
But sometimes when there's snow and you have the moon shining it's just unbelievably pretty. But yeah, I'll take more sun over less anytime.

As a northern dweller I love the sun up at 9-10pm, sun up at 3AM not so much, especially because it also wakes the birds up

Your attitude is entirely dependant on your latitude my natty dude

If I were near the equator: is this a joke I'm too 0° lat to understand?
- Yea, here in New Orleans the sun is setting around 7:30. Elsewhere in the post people are talking about the sung going down at 9:00 in Germany. So I looked it up and apparently New Orleans is further south than Cairo.

I wish, Toronto is too far east in its timezone so the sun is up too early and goes down too early

Lol what? Toronto is basically smack dab in the centre of the eastern time zone, if anything it's a little west of the true centre which I think is NYC
cries in Montreal

X-Files in Alaska:

Fox: "Why is the school closed on a weekday?"

Mulder: "It's 10PM Fox."

He's talking to himself? Must be the lack of sleep.
Uh, I've never actually seen the show, but I'm pretty sure Fox Mulder is the guy and something Scully is the lady.
- Dana Scully.
  Fun fact; she wasn't allowed to play an FBI agent in anything else for a long time as to not dilute the Scully character

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.

More evening sun means my night needs to start later, and the world doesn't get pretty til late
- "I love everything about nights but I can't stand the day, the sun melts calmness away."
  -Bracket
- Your logic doesn’t make sense. In other threads you’re arguing that you can’t go out when it’s hot, so stay inside instead. That’s how you get ready for bed anyway, by staying inside. How does the sunsun staying up later change your night routine at all?
  Guess what it does do? Make afternoon outdoor activities much safer. Biking, rock climbing, running, literally any outdoor activity is much safer in daylight.
- Tbh id settle for a split difference, just get rid of the time shift. It's more of an issue in the winter.

22:40 here

Iceland?
- Denmark

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

You are wrong and i prefer the outdoors being remotely habitable.
Even at like -40, theres gear to make it tolerable. At 100f/40c, it's just an oven, and even survivors will need shower+salt
- We're at 40 currently, it's very hard to breathe
- What tropic are you from?
- The time doesn’t affect the weather. It’s still going to be hot or cold out for the exact same length of time. Time zone changes only affect whether you’re working or playing at those times. I’d rather have the option than be forced to be working when the sun is out.
- You can adapt to high temps. Drink water and consume enough electrolytes, and your body will learn to be more adept at keeping itself cool. Meanwhile, your brain will get used to high temps. The problem is that you are avoiding the heat, which means your body never adapts.
  For heavy exercise, simply do it earlier or later in the day when temps are cooler. Warmer regions developed the siesta for a reason.
  If you really hate it so much, move.
- It's hot & humid here in the subtropics but even so I love this season the most. I was born here and grew up without AC so adapted I guess. Being still in the shade with a breeze I am comfortable up to a pretty high temp but here the summer has afternoon storms that cool it a little so the evening, while hot, is usually 25-27 not 40.
  Our indoor AC is set to 26. That feels cool enough in the summer, so evening is comfortable.
  I cannot get comfortable in the cold, no amount of clothing seems to work, I just don't generate that much heat.
  Riding home on the bike is MUCH safer in the daylight too.

9? maybe in a few months.....

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

What if I told you that ALL the seasons have people in them? Kinda gross to think too much about it.
- That's what I forgot to add. True, but summertime here is full of shitty tourists, while local people spend more time outside making annoying and noisy parties.
Seconded. I'd rather sunset at 4:30 and freezing my ass off than torturing myself with the summer heat that comes with the late sun.
You seem like a well adjusted person that is fun at parties.
- Oh. I forgot to add I also hate parties.
- I bet they throw amazing parties. Nice food, drinks that aren't all bud light and shots, music is a background thing and not something you have to compete with for conversation, maybe a bored game or card game.

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…

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
- As my mom always said
  "If you're cold you can put on more clothes, but you can only get so naked"
- Where do you live? Maybe you could choose a more temperate climate
- And boiling alive is better than winter depression :/
It depends on where you live. In my case snow is a miracle at this point because of global warming
You still have snow? Must be nice. We have 40 degrees in june.

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

“How can this be! What a cruel twist of fate… And isn’t it like 9PM!? Oh… fucking daylight savings!”

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=XQbPaBRvaJw&pp=ygUeQ2hhb3RpYyBnb29kIEJhcmJhZGlhbiB2c21waXJl

The daylight hours per season is actually primarily effected by your distance from the equator, so a lot of places in "summer" won't see much difference.

I'm fucking hate the summer.

I'm a night owl forced to work day shifts. I miss the darkness.

That looks like a nice 3am around my parts at this time of year. (I'm north of the arctic circle)

I'm a fan of all seasons for their own reasons. You weren't going to leave yur house anyways.

Madness? This.....is....summer!

I like longer daylight it’s key to me being happy, but I have a car now with led strips all over and I rarely get to drive at night so be nice to drive home again in the dark in winter

Is this some sort of 45° N joke I'm too 20° N to understand?

Also, 5:00am.

What's wrong in this picture?

Absolutely nothing. Just sweet sweet daylight
- Can we have it in the morning instead of when we are trying to wind down to sleep?
OP is crying because it’s light out at 9PM. Maybe they’re ignorant about black out shades, who knows.
- Black out shades? Those are the sunglasses you put on when drinking heavily so nobody can see how plastered you are.
Everything.
