    There’s a large population where this has no meaning. The sun rises at 10 AM and sets at 1 PM in the winter here where I live. There’s nothing to gain for us, only problems and missed meetings and school mornings and extra stress on kids and parents having to adjust their sleeping routines days in advance. It sucks ass, absolutely not worth it even if we did live in the very specific latitudes where this is perfect. Down with daylight savings! ✊

        You must be new to Lemmy, 3h of sunlight is way more than most of us basement dwellers get.

        Imagine getting 3 hours of sunlight a day in winter. Where I live north of the Arctic circle we get none for many weeks every winter!

        Vitamin D.

        Also we get like 21h of sunlight during the summer so that’s pretty neat.

          I’m not sure neat is the word I’d use to describe that hellish landscape, but might be a language issue… :)

            Which hellish landscape are you talking about? Remember you could be talking about someone’s home. 😜
