Today is the longest day of the year, with daylight past 10pm. Ireland/other European countries that practise BST need to take an hour from their Summer and give it to their Winters. The Irish Winters are so depressing, an extra hour of daylight would do wonders for the country’s mental health

1. So would mass vitamin D supplement taking because even with an adjusted day time we don’t get enough light in the winter

2. Posts a picture of Stonehenge and uses BST instead of IST on r/Ireland.

3. The hours of daylight are still going to be the same. Just get up an hour earlier and you’ll have a longer day.

4. Most people get up and get home in the dark in winter.

   Nobody wants to go out after work in whatever daylight is left and bask in the horizontal rain anyway.

5. You cant cut the top off a blanket, sew it to the bottom of the blanket, and think you end up with a longer blanket…

6. Are you proposing that we alter the axial tilt of the planet?

7. Not bothered

8. If we put giant mirrors in orbit then we can reflect more light our way in Winter, make it nice and toasty too.

9. Do winters have less hours in the day than summers? Have I missed something in my 37 years on the planet? Have I been doing it wrong this whole time?

10. How do you propose adding an extra hour of daylight to winter time? Christ.
