For those in the states, is this something a change with daylight savings can fix? I’m in the dark on that (pun!) and wondering if a change could help?
It’s the problem.
Soooo (Jesus it’s hard to get a response) HOW DO YOU THINK CHANGING DAYLIGHT SAVINGS COULD SOLVE IT?
Jesus I dare you, talk about it….
Good for my goth sensibilities.
It has redeeming qualities (taken yesterday). Pretty leaves, less intense sun, perfect outdoor temperatures. During fall I can actually enjoy the outdoors tbh.
It’s nice in October to start be able to see daylight in the evenings again

This is what I hate about New England lately, and it’s only getting worse.
The summers are too damn hot and the rest of the year is too damn dark.
Just let us switch to AST (“permanent EDT”). We are too far north and too far east in a timezone that is just too damn big. At least that’ll take care of it being too damn dark. There’ll still be sunlight left when I’m off work.
I’m sure Wall St. would love to be an hour closer to London, no?
Add to that unbroken cloud cover 24/7 😙👌
I actually love that. Perfect weather.
I work outside year round and cloudy weather is THE best- bit cooler in summer and the clouds make it a bit warmer in the winter. Love the clouds!!!
right? finnaly i can see because it’s not mega bright and think because its not mega hot
Not a ray of sunshine coming through, no shape to the clouds, just uniform grayness, no rain even? It feels like the sky is hanging too low and there’s something wrong with your eyes, like you didn’t notice you left your laptop at 25% brightness since last night. For weeks on end. Starting now until December or whenever the first snow comes. If it comes that is.
It may seem like relief when a too-hot summer is still fresh in your mind, but have you ever even experiened that and still say you love it?
Yes. It is my ideal weather.
I am a sweaty yeti though.
Might explain the preference.
Remember your vitamin D
Joke’s on you, I was already not getting any sunlight-vitamin D in summer! The sun is a deadly lazer!
As deadly as time
Not anymore!
Theres a blanket.
You can make a religion out of this.
No, don’t
Actually, why not. Besides, has anyone conquered that bit yet?
giving or receiving?
Por que no los dos?
I love the dark. It matches my depression.
i don’t particularly enjoy getting off with the big lights on
Skill issue
clearly articulated preference issue
I quite like the significance placed on the “turning on of the lamp” in moomins books to signal the start of autumn. Dark!
I can actually see again without sunglasses

Vanta?
My black is blacker than your black
Ahh if the op is actually from yukon as the handle suggests, i believe their experience during fall is like that. Im a few degrees south from that latitude but its still quite depressing here tho only in the latter half of fall. Early october is still quite bearable.
Something like the midnight sun fenomenon?
I mean its not really a phenomenon, it happens every year in the north as the closer you get to the poles of earth the shorter days get during winter and longer during summer. Midnight sun happens before cause of the curvature of the earth plus light spreading, and no sun at all doesnt really happen so much, its more like a very small amount of sunlight for a long time. I dont live that north but it still means the total daylight we get during the winter solstice is about 6 and a half hours, from 8:45 to 15:15.
I was today years old when I realized that we indeed fall into darkness for several months and then spring back into the light.
Clearly you do not live on the equator.
it’s fall
Maybe you have fallen and damaged your brain? MRT/MRI might tell more.
Based on the mood swings youre having over a post… on fall, maybe you should get your brain health checked up?
