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 the internet 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.

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

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

yes, national anxiety is high, but at least it also gets dark at 4pm

— Jesse Case (@jessecase) November 5, 2024

dark at 5pm on a night with no plans: every passing minute is a reminder of endless nothingness, existence is a prison

dark at 5pm & on the way to an evening plan: look how the city lights dance for me, who knows what wonders await, the night is young!

It’s completely dark at 6 PM. I hope that extra hour sleep was worth it last night, since now we’re all going to be miserable for the next five months until proper time returns.

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