I’m not from the US so I’m not entirely sure of the joke here. Is it because from October to April in Alaska it’s just entirely night due to it being Alaska?

Yes, and it would suit your username nicely.

Yeah, it's perpetually dark at that time, but to be fair, Alaska is BARELY in the US either.

Unless you're above the Arctic circle, it's never perpetually dark

OT Is your username related to the Arthas (ICC) death cinematic?

Anchorage does not experience 24 hours of darkness at any time during the year, but this is a typical Alaskan joke.
You need to be north of the Arctic Circle to find a period of 24-hour darkness. That is actually what the Arctic Circle denotes.
During December, in Anchorage, the sun rises at about 10 am and sets at about 4 pm, so the days are very short.

No chance, I live in Ketchikan and the sun sets at 3:30. We're still a month from the winter solstice, and Anchorage is significantly further north. Sunrise may be at 10 for them, but sunset would have to be 3ish

Oooo since you read it on the internet, it must be true. Thats the time it drops below the flat horizon, but it drops below the mountains over an hour before that, which is when it gets dark. You are simply incorrect.

Profit-Defiant OP t1_iybcrmn wrote
Well, I haven't played it. The main game or the expansion.
gigaswardblade t1_iybcxfa wrote
Me neither. Heard WoW’s gone downhill.

Lol. That's true. Haven't heard a peep about it in like a decade.
