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.
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.
The daylight hours per season is actually primarily effected by your distance from the equator, so a lot of places in "summer" won't see much difference.
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.
More evening sun means my night needs to start later, and the world doesn't get pretty til late
Tbh id settle for a split difference, just get rid of the time shift. It's more of an issue in the winter.
Basing everything on our system of description rather than using a rich descriptive system to define things is the problem of so much of our shit.
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.
You act like the sun is good to be around and does something other than give you cancer.
Also, how the hell do you enjoy outside at like 50c/112f?

Have you ever heard about vitamin d (no dick jokes, I dare you!)?

You live in the wrong region, my friend.

Can't have the highs without the lows. Around the equator it's basically light from 6am to 6pm the entire year.
That doesn't mean that I have to love each season equally or that my depression magically goes away.
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.
Uh, I've never actually seen the show, but I'm pretty sure Fox Mulder is the guy and something Scully is the lady.
Dana Scully.
Fun fact; she wasn't allowed to play an FBI agent in anything else for a long time as to not dilute the Scully character
Your attitude is entirely dependant on your latitude my natty dude
I love it, for real. Short winter days suck, especially after going back to standard time. Having light in the evening is wonderful.
You are wrong and i prefer the outdoors being remotely habitable.
Even at like -40, theres gear to make it tolerable. At 100f/40c, it's just an oven, and even survivors will need shower+salt

You can adapt to high temps. Drink water and consume enough electrolytes, and your body will learn to be more adept at keeping itself cool. Meanwhile, your brain will get used to high temps. The problem is that you are avoiding the heat, which means your body never adapts.

For heavy exercise, simply do it earlier or later in the day when temps are cooler. Warmer regions developed the siesta for a reason.

If you really hate it so much, move.
You can ada0t to medium high temps. You can survive 90f, even 100f.
You cannot adapt to 115f. You go inside, or you die.
hate it so much, move
Okay so you don't understand that youre talking to anither human and just think disagreement is a kind of attack.

No. I think that moving is an underutilized option. If you live in Alaska but hate the cold, move. If you live in Alabama but hate gun nuts, move. If you live in Briton and hate... being miserable as a lifestyle, then move!
Like, there are all sorts of ways to mitigate unhappiness. But at the end of the day, if something intrinsic to the place you live is really making you unhappy, then there is an obvious answer.
Cool, so, will you pay for me to move? Cover work while i get setyled in a new part of the world and find that?
Find me someplace i won't be murdered for personal/demographic reasons with wither i like?
It's hot & humid here in the subtropics but even so I love this season the most. I was born here and grew up without AC so adapted I guess. Being still in the shade with a breeze I am comfortable up to a pretty high temp but here the summer has afternoon storms that cool it a little so the evening, while hot, is usually 25-27 not 40.
Our indoor AC is set to 26. That feels cool enough in the summer, so evening is comfortable.
I cannot get comfortable in the cold, no amount of clothing seems to work, I just don't generate that much heat.
Riding home on the bike is MUCH safer in the daylight too.
safer
Coward! More seriously; solvable by making car use dangerous.
40
40 is a lot, but thats kind of the upper limit. Lot of places get hotter than that now.
not endothermic
Oh, cool toy time! get chemical warmers, battery warmer, etc. They exist and are simple.
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.

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.

I'm fucking hate the summer.
That looks like a nice 3am around my parts at this time of year. (I'm north of the arctic circle)
