minus-squareRhynoplaz@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·2 days agoWait. Are you saying that an hour is no longer 60 minutes, but one 12th of the time between sunrise and sunset? We lose a lot of light in the winter, and I’m not sure that I want to spend an extra 3 hours at work every day in the summer.
minus-squareWoodScientist@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·2 days agoYes! There will always be 12 hours between sunset and sunrise, regardless of time of year. This is how our ancestors lived. Sure, you work more in the Summer, but you make up for it in the Winter.
minus-squarePeppycito@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up0·2 days agoWhere I am an hour would be 45 minutes in December and an hour and a half in June. Fine I guess, unless you’re getting paid by the hour.
minus-squareWoodScientist@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·2 days agoEh, you’ll make more per hour in the winter and less in the summer. It balances out.
minus-squarePeppycito@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up0·2 days agoBut I want to do all my work in the winter and lay around on the beach all summer
minus-squareWoodScientist@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·2 days agoWell, that’s clearly unnatural, so therefore bad. That logic clearly has no flaws at all!
minus-squarelime!@feddit.nulinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·2 days agoi’ve lived in places with midnight sun. that’s gotta be a no from me.
minus-squareGalapagon@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up0·edit-22 days agoYeah that’s gonna be a hard pass from me. I like my time in predictable increments, thanks.
minus-squareWoodScientist@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·2 days agoBut it’s better, because it’s natural. <Insert birdsong and Native American flutes here.> /s
