I like it dark at night.

It's always dark at night. That's what night means.

Tell that to the Norwegians in June!

If the sun doesn't set, they don't have night.

Alright well still if we want to push into the technicalities, for some periods of the year the sun will set however it will never be dark just due to the indirect illumination. So it would be night but still light.

Do they call it night? If so, it's night. That is indeed how words work. In America, we'd call that twilight and not night. I'd say things like, "Man, I miss having nighttime". It would have to be at least dusk to be called night.

Stand back guys, we have some sort of savant genius here!

The comma should have been before "guys", and a period should have been where it is.
