I'd like to make note of my observation this morning at quarter to seven it looked as dark as 5:30am, even a week before the clocks change, which I found interesting,

so we can't entirely blame the shitty darkness on our shitty government-mandated clock changes. It's just a matter of where the earth is in relation to the sun at any given time of year.

When we change our clocks next week, technically the winter clocks are the astronomically accurate time, and we've been lying to ourselves all summer, though I'm still not sure why.

Everyone hates changing the clocks and for at least three decades citizens have been imploring the govt to stop the practice, but you know how slow the government is to change any standardized thing. Decades & decades of slowness & stupidity.

As slow as if USA ever comes to its senses & adopts the metric system.

I'm not sure if that matters or not. I'm thinking of this article https://sopuli.xyz/post/34493521

    Hmm, let's let that article speak for itself since I don't entirely understand whether or not it's related to my observation of days getting shorter as they always do this time of year.

    Ah, I was responding to

    I'd like to make note of my observation this morning at quarter to seven it looked as dark as 5:30am, even a week before the clocks change, which I found interesting...

    I have noticed it seems darker in mornings and evenings, and shortly after having marked the phenomenon to myself, that article showed up. I meant to ask for the more scientifically educated to remark on it but got busy and forgot. Maybe they will, now.
