Given that the solstice moves around in the calendar, if this is actually true on July 8th _every_ year, then it is probably also true on July 7th or 9th most years as well. The wording makes it feel a bit more like a single instant than I suspect it really is.
Also, it’s not the case in 2026, so it might be a repost

Around July 8 each year, 99% of humanity is misinformed on what daylight means. It does not include civil, nautical, or astronomical twilight. For daylight, it’s 83%.
Well they get daylight, don’t forget the British isles exist.

So i assume the opposite is true like what, January 12th or so?

This is horse shit. It seems to be based on „astronomical twilight,“ which no normal person would consider „daylight.“
~~One of the few times „technically correct“ is the worst kind of correct.~~
Upon further research, this isn’t even technically correct. It’s just wrong. „Daytime“ (and as such, „daylight“) doesn’t start until the sun has started passing the horizon, even if we technically do see light from the sun during dawn.

F you new Zealand
WorldInMaps has been lazier than usual. They literally took a screenshot; [that’s the website they used](https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/sunearth.html)
