It’s that time of year again! With the shorter fall days and the daylight saving time change, darkness is coming for us earlier and earlier.
And the funny folks of Twitter are not having it. They’ve been lamenting the end of summer evenings, when 6 p.m. felt like the start of a promising adventure. Now it feels like it’s basically midnight at 4 p.m.
To mourn this collective loss, we rounded up 20 funny-yet-sad tweets about how early it gets dark outside now.
hello darkness my old friend

6:00 PM in the summer: The night is young! Let's stay outside for hours!

6:00 PM in the fall: Well it's dark, so I guess I'll just get ready for bed now.
I love when it gets dark early because my brain is like "SAMESIES!!!"

Your next task is to not mention how dark it is at 5pm for the next 3 months. pic.twitter.com/bGDpb4k0Rv

Daylight savings, where 7 AM is now 6 AM and 5 PM is now midnight

I like how the fact it gets dark out so early now means you don't have to leave the house after 5 PM.

It is the dead of winter and it is cold and dark at 4 p.m., so I will control what I can to maintain a sense of order and purpose: I will dress to match my coats.

So the sun just sets at like 12 PM now, huh? The clock strikes noon and the sky darkens with an insect cloud in the shape of a man? The voice in the walls is getting louder and blood is running out of the faucets, and we're just supposed to get used to it? I hate daylight savings

I know it’s just the time change but nighttime just seems... nighttime-ier.
