Comic Strips

I find it much more dispiriting to come home in the dark, than to get up in the dark. So yeah I like "daylight savings time" more in practice. People arguing noon is sun at highest point aren't arguing that 6 is sunrise and 6 is sunset, we don't use sundials anymore.

I'd be good with a world time. Just decide when a day starts worldwide and let local schedules be whatever works. So maybe the sun rises at 0100 in my longitude and so work starts at 4 or whatever. There's no magic to the 12 being noon.

• Me living in the equator

I’ve got to wake up an hour earlier than normal all week so I really appreciate everyone changing their clocks for me.

As a critter of the night, this is my favorite time of the year. <3

Living abroad and this being so much less extreme really let sink in how much I hate this 😭

Really out of the short days bullshit by this point. Good luck northern hemispherers lol

Work and school schedules could be adjusted to adapt so we're not "going to work in the dark". They could be, and probably everyone not getting rich off virtual slave labor would fine with that.

Life above the equator be like....

Personally, I just lean into it. I get up at 04:00 so that I want to go to sleep by 20:00 at the latest. The bears have it figured out. Extra bonus is that watching late night TV early in the morning doesn't feel as unproductive.

It's the one thing I just never get used to. Everything else about seasons etc. has stopped being surprising and anything more than "oh, this is happening again", but it never stops feeling unreal that it gets dark so damn late in the morning and early in the afternoon.

Everyone talking about being depressed because it's dark "early"...

I work third shift, this is fine. I'm pissed when I'm getting dressed for work and it's still daylight.

lol, it’s 5:24 here and I was just thinking about this before I ran across this comic.

God try being in Northern Ireland, get goes from black to dark gray about 10.00 then goes from gray to back to black about 15.00. It's so depressing
