    They should obviously keep standard time. No one wants light at 10pm!!!

      I would 100% rather light at 10pm than 4am where it’s totally wasted.

      Current light breakdown in Ireland over the year:

        I always forget how far north a lot of Europe is. The fact Dublin is further north than most Canadian major cities throws me for a loop

          Yeah it’s one of those weird map oddities that’s more noticeable on a globe.

          We are mega fucked here if the gulf of Mexico ever stops sending us that warm water goodness.

            Literally the plot of “The Day after Tomorrow” although the movie is ridiculously over the top of course

              The movie takes a real mechanism, a plausible concern, then cranks the intensity of the issue to eleven and uses that exaggerated catastrophe as foundation for its setting. It’s absurd in magnitude, but not in premise.

        nah, I want to see the stars without having to stay up late, and light until 10pm would mess with my body’s schedule

      It is a bit more complicated. Back in the time (no pun intended) they made a mess by putting most of Europe in one time zone, from west of Spain to east of Poland. Which is 9° west to 28° east, more than 2 and a half time zones. Technically, Europe should split into at least two time zones. And this is going to be a mess.
