gollark: If LyricLy says "hmm, it is 3AM here" that probably means something like more like "wow, my sleep schedule is currently quite far shifted from the societal expectations thereof" than "the sun is 62 degrees below the horizon".
gollark: What? You don't actually need to know where the sun is. You need to know some stuff derived from that *and* a bunch of other things; you can just use the derived data.
gollark: Even individual people aren't on the same personal schedule relative to solar ones though.
