Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way.

Seriously fuck this shit. Starting next week gonna be fucking dark out when i leave for work and dark out half an hour before I leave work. Super stoked to not have any waking hours during daylight to do what I want on weekdays for the next 4 months.

"I forgot how dark winters are" I exclaim every year, forgetting that The Man has Fucked With The Clock

The problem is all summer I lie to myself and say it's really not so bad except for like 6 weeks from the end of December till February then we change the clocks and I have to get blinded by giant fucking trucks for 45 minutes every night.

This is a serious problem and not a petty personal grievance that's an obvious consequence of living whre I chose to.

Yeah exactly. Winters are dark, but it's really only 6-7 weeks, or it would be if it WEREN'T FOR THE FUCKING FARMERS GETTING TO DECIDE OUR CLOCKS FOR SOME REASON DEATH TO THEM DEATH TO FARMERS I WILL BE THE REVERSE POL POT DEATH- [Editors note: The rant continues for 15 minutes in like manner. Transcription ends here]

[–] REgon@hexbear.net 7 points 9 months ago

The fucking tractors can drive themselves with GPS and track how much they've harvested through sensors to know when to swap tractors. Pretty sure they can figure out how to turn on the fucking headlights.
