And it's besutiful.
More like 1:30 PM, during midwinter. 😭 The long dark near the Arctic circle...
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...
I think you're forgetting that night time is cool and day time is for losers.
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.
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
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.
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.
That, and more energy. I swear something got fucked up at the factory when they made me. I'm a terrible scandinavian. I am prone to pretty intense winter depressions and I'm not a fan of the cold either. I have been so far down the dumps during the winter seasons that I have blacked out entire months and have no memory of what I did and my spouse is like "yeah, you basically spent two months sitting in the same corner of the home when you weren't working, just looking gone, dude." And when I have winters where I feel like I did pretty good and didn't get depressed my man still goes "yeah, nah. You were depressed af. Just not vacant this time".
On the flipside I have been giddy like a kid walking for hours in flip-flops in Mediterranean mountains, getting slow cooked by the summer sun. I remember last time I was visiting Greece with my parents and we walked all morning until noon to get to a nice little beach across the mountains and a couple of locals saw us coming and were fucking horrified that we had come all that way on foot, lol.
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
Full solar power is the dream! That's awesome.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
Astrophotographers be like:
Ah yes, staying up until 3am for 3 hours of good data
Checking in as the weirdo who likes both the long summer days and the short winter days.
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.
9? pft try living in Alaska when the sun rises at 1 AM. And the other half the year is nonstop crushing darkness.
That's daylight saving time's fault.
This is great.
Your attitude is entirely dependant on your latitude my natty dude
22:40 here
I love the long days lol
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.
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.
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!
I'm enjoying seeing my solar panels still producing electricity for the house at 8:55pm at night.
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 love it, for real. Short winter days suck, especially after going back to standard time. Having light in the evening is wonderful.
