Great, we could sleep one hour more, but suddenly, it’s getting dark at 18.

Great we have one hour more of sun on the morning, but instead of being pitch black when starting to commute to work it’s just still dark and by the end of November it’ll be pitch black anyway.

    The only thing I hate about Winter is not Winter’s fault, and it’s basically what you said:

    Work is somehow perfectly scheduled so that you’re inside, staring at a brick wall for 90-100% of the daylight hours for 5 out of every 7 days.

    Winter is beautiful in ways that are completely unlike the other seasons, but unless you’re very fortunate you only get a few glimpses of it.

    I feel like if you were designing a society to make people suffer, that’s how you would do it.

      It’s a rudiment of a society where artificial light was a scarcity, so people worked during the daylight.

      But also these days you can easily get a job with a flexible schedule and spend your mornings enjoying the sun, and then work till the late evening.

    I hate the concept of Daylight Savings Time. It’s such a “Baby formula: Now with even more lead!” solution to a problem that shouldn’t exist in the first place.

    The table is a little bit too far South, it’s kind of difficult to walk around the table because the wall is too close. So we’ll lift the roof off with a crane, suspend the table from a sophisticated set of guy wires, tear down the house around it, and then painstakingly reinstall the house 16 inches to the South so that there’s room between the wall and the table.

    Absolutely love winter. It’s my favorite time of the year. I like being inside when it’s cold and dark out. I like not sweating. Feels good man.

    Absolutely detest switching back and forth between standard and DST. What a load of crap. Just pick one and be done with it.

    I hate summer and daylight saving more.

    If you’re too cold, you can always do something. If you’re too hot, you can only do so much then be miserable.

    The best day of the year is the first day of daylight saving time (end of March). There is no day I look forward to more every year, not my birthday, not Christmas, not Easter, not a day I go on vacation: the first day of daylight saving time beats all of these.

      I also love-it so much, Suddently, there is day light late, you see people outside, no matter whether it’s about kids playing outside after school, or adult having an evening walk, but suddently looks like life is back

    Average winter enjoyer here, just chiming in to say “fuck summer!” We may be few in number, but we are large in spirit.

    I like sun as much as the next person but I feel getting more daylight by changing the clocks is like going on a diet by changing the definition of a pound. Standard Time all year for me please.

    I am of the opposite opinion, I LOVE winter for the exact reasons you’re describing!

    I have some inherited photosensitivity, so nighttime’s my favourite time! I also handle the cold waaay better than I handle heat, and my organism just feels like it starts coming back to life once autumn shows up!

    Summer pretty much always makes me wish I could sleep my way through it.

    definitely hate DST, but mostly because of the annual death toll it entails, and the fact that it makes no fucking sense.

    I like the hours being dialed back. Whenever they’re dialed forward, it feels like time moves even faster than when it did beforehand. I didn’t like that feeling. Feels like everything is just being rushed and rushed.

    I like winter but the daylight savings nonsense sucks, I don’t want it to get dark even earlier, it’s all backwards.

      I’m aware of all the dissatisfaction with DST, but hear me out… What if we just weren’t going hard enough? I propose Runners Savings Time. We set the clock forward like, 4-5 hrs. It’ll be dark during working hours, but then you’ll have some time to go for a run or do whatever during the daylight.

      But you know that DST is summer time? In winter, we have „normal“ time, as in the sun is at it’s highest at 12 o’clock.
