Funny-Yet-Sad Tweets About It Getting Dark Outside So Early
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.

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.— Abby Heugel (@AbbyHasIssues) October 15, 2021

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.
