Eastcoasters don't get to enjoy anything , sunrise included!
41I got up this morning at 9:30. The fucking sunrise had already happened. I check my phone -- Turns out it was happening in California and they were all able to enjoy it. Totally unfair and I want someone to do something about it. Why can't the sun rise at 9:30 so I can witness it every day with little to no effort on my part?
Fuck you California.

I love this thread.
@christinerenee I can't stop reading all the drama and multiple threads, it's like a train wreck
Now hear this. I don't get off work until 10:30pm. The sun has already set by then. Guess what!? They're enjoying a beautiful sunset in Hawaii around that timeframe. Why can't it set at 10:30pm?
@capguncowboy move to northern canada...
There should be a second sunrise later in the day to make it fair.
@darksaber99999 Finally, someone who gets it.
@darksaber99999 Equal rights for all! Anti-locationists unite!
I demand that Newtons laws be modified to allow the sunrise to happen at precisely the time every day that @capguncowboy desires. Physics be damned.
Clearly, the sun should rise at noon, right? Of course, which time zone version of noon?
Maybe some people need to be reminded of the classic line about accepting the things you cannot change.
@DJP519 ... I say fuck that! Make it noon for everybody! When it's noon in your time zone the sun rises, ah the simplicity.. It'd certainly put a twist on reality..
Even if it varied from one day to the next, it would be better. Today it's 6am, but tomorrow, it's 9pm, and the next day it's noon. Let's spread around some fairness here.
What about the Pacific Ocean? West Coast motherfuckers get that one too. Entitled assholes.
@joelmw Let's make this clear. They can keep the Pacific ocean. It's too cold. Atlantic ocean is where it's at.
@capguncowboy Yeah, but what if someone doesn't like the Atlantic Ocean?
@joelmw If anyone has a right to complain, it's the Dali Lama. The title means "Ocean Lama" even though the DL was the Head Guy in Tibet. Tibet! Never say Buddhists don't have a sense of humor.
I think the easters need an extra moon to help us stay up till sunset in CA. Seriously, George Lucas, make it so.
@lumpthar
@AlohaSnackbar That's no moon.
SAD
@capguncowboy Sorry to hear of your sunrise troubles, SAD might be to blame. There are many lights available to simulate your missing sun.
@Ryaneil I'm only buying those lights if they come with the awesome CRT monitor.
@SSteve not only do they come with a crt but with a free AOL trial!
The sad fact is, no one really wants 10 random accessories for devices they may or may not have. But, tell people they've missed the opportunity to buy something, and suddenly it's desirable.
@naropa I actually love crap like this. I can't even guess how many little bags and carrying cases I have bought at garage sales and Dollar Tree that don't fit anything in particular. I always find a use for them. Small ones make good change purses, medium ones make good travel jewelry or makeup bags, large ones are good for art supplies. They are also a nice alternative to a gift bag, at least potentially useful. This is probably the Meh sale I most regret missing. But I missed it, it didn't miss me.
I guess we get to enjoy construction and remodeling...
Stupid sun is being locationist. Again.
@luvche21 The sun is completely self-involved. It thinks the world revolves around it.
@rockblossom I thought the sun revolved around the west coast... but I guess I was wrong!
?? I am as east coast as it gets and I had no problem getting in on the deal (granted I had to get up at 5 am today)
@ober2 5am? I think Nova Scotia (Greenland?) stole your sunrise.
@capguncowboy Those Bastards! (I have family up there, I think all nova scotia gets is fog)
Hey, if the world ends in nuclear fire, both coasts will get nuked equally. In fact, the east coast will probably get MORE NUKES than the west coast. That's pretty cool man!
Don't know what you folks are all whining about. Just go down to the corner trans-mat booth and jump to cali or hawaii or whatever. Its not that expensive, and you can watch sunrises or sunsets every hour or two depending on available receiving stations on ships or land masses.
I understand some even offer a VMP discount...
@duodec Just don't pick the wrong booth...
I think they only put those on the east and west coast... you know, to cut down on the whining.
I think we should all accept everything in life blindly and without question. I also think anyone who doesn't accept everything in life blindly and without question should be belittled relentlessly.
@arysta I feel the same way about people who wine about things they have total control over.
@capguncowboy But can't they be cheesed off at least? Or should they put a cork in it?
@capguncowboy Wine-ing is so fun, though. Especially on half-priced bottle night.
@arysta Not everything in life, just the people who whine about business sales not fitting their schedule....and anti-vaxers.
The only reason east coasters are still living there is because they suck at Oregon Trail.
@phatmass We all died of dysentery
@cengland0 whatever, I drowned in the river after my dad tried to forge the river after heavy rains
@capguncowboy Just as well; they'd turn Oregon and other places West into east coast too if they made it...
@duodec Man Oregon is already pretty much Massachusetts West
@gardenald Just think how much worse it could be if not for dysentery and failed river crossings on the way...
@phatmass I'll have you know that my entire party survived and I got in the top ten on OT the other day! I live here because my spouse won't move. Damnit.
What about if whenever the sun is done rising, they could just send out another sun to rise so if you missed the first one, you could still enjoy the second?
@djslack sounds... I dunno... A bit toasty.
couldn't agree more
I'm on the east coast and I see the sun rise every morning as I drive to work. Unlike those in the People's Republic of California who also get meh product changes while I am sleeping. But I don't care, I'll piss whine and moan because that is what I do best and one should always go with what they do best.
I love it when the sun sets at 4:00 though, it's hard to miss.
Who ya gonna call when the earth starts moving and the tornados start hitting and the snakes start biting? Us poor bastards in New York - that's who! so, be nice to us easterner's Meh - we gotcherback!
I've come up with a solution that should satisfy everyone- we'll just modify DST a little bit- we'll still "fall back" in the fall, but we'll skip the spring forward! This way once a year you'll get an extra hour of sleep, never have to lose an hour in the spring, and everyone will do everything at every time over the course of 24 years!*
*assuming no one changes their schedules.
I guess I never thought meh was filled with so many crotchety old people that couldn't stay awake till midnight every night. I live in Pennsylvania and I am embarrassed to be associated with these other sleepy "east coasters" . Take a nap and get over it.
@somf69 From the sellout colors on the maps. Us Pennsylvanians seem pretty on the ball.
