I was going to say "not everyone lives in the northern hemisphere, you know", but to be fair I suppose 99% of HN lives there and the rest of us are already used to this.

It turns out 90% of people live in the northern hemisphere, which surprised me! I would have guessed 60-70%.
Same! I actually looked it up right after commenting and realized my statement would still be true even if the bias in HN's demographic were much lower.
Haha my intention was less "northern hemisphere master race" and more "hey I know you already know this but remember that the change in season can affect your mood"
Yeah, no worries. I realize you had a good intention, and I know it's hard to remember every single detail about how other people's lives might be different from ours.
