I like it dark and I like it cold. ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿปโ€โ™‚๏ธ

Likewise. I love early evening sunsets. I like it dark at night.

15:30 is too early to be evening.

I like it dark at night.

It's always dark at night. That's what night means.

Tell that to the Norwegians in June!

If the sun doesn't set, they don't have night.

Alright well still if we want to push into the technicalities, for some periods of the year the sun will set however it will never be dark just due to the indirect illumination. So it would be night but still light.

Do they call it night? If so, it's night. That is indeed how words work. In America, we'd call that twilight and not night. I'd say things like, "Man, I miss having nighttime". It would have to be at least dusk to be called night.

Stand back guys, we have some sort of savant genius here!

The comma should have been before "guys", and a period should have been where it is.

Walking my kid home from school down unlit footpaths with a torch, taking video of him manically pretending to do a ghost tour is only possible in winter.

I've wondered what it'd be like to have houses both above and below the arctic circles, and switch each equinox to maximize the dark days.
