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.

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.

But also the other 23 hours.
More like 1:30 PM, during midwinter. 😭 The long dark near the Arctic circle...

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.

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.

Do you know how depressing it is to only experience the sun while at work and not outside of it in the winter?
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.
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. 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 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! 😬
22:40 here
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

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.

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.

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"

I'm enjoying seeing my solar panels still producing electricity for the house at 8:55pm at night.
9? pft try living in Alaska when the sun rises at 1 AM. And the other half the year is nonstop crushing darkness.
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.

Astrophotographers be like:
Ah yes, staying up until 3am for 3 hours of good data

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