Daylight Savings Time

something a mf invented to screw everybody outside asia and africa’s time up, and although the intention is to save energy, it has negative effect on that. overall, it’s a big L for the guy who invented it, and an even bigger L for the governments that approved it.

Daylight Psychological Dread

Daylight Psychological Dread
noun

The feeling of slow, creeping fear that occurs when everything is visible, calm, and beautiful—yet your body knows something is wrong. A genre where reassurance fails, daylight offers no protection, and the viewer realizes they are part of what’s happening simply by watching.
A24's Midsommar is daylight psychological dread before it meets horror. Everything is bright and colorful but I feel awful inside.

This painting is giving me daylight psychological dread vibes. The islands and water are bright and beautiful but the title is called "You Left Me Here." That makes me feel uneasy.

run for daylight

This is an old football saying, meaning blockers should push rushers in the direction they are headed so running space is opened. More generally it is similar to the Judo technique of using an opponent's force against them.
The sixties Packers used a run for daylight blocking system.

Dead by Daylight

A 4v1 game in which killers and survivors must work together to avoid a terrifying creature known as Nea Karlsson.

Nea is a powerful being that stalks and kills those who she finds.

Many characters have their own abilities to protect them. Dwight has an ability that lets him hide in lockers indefinitely. Claudette can go invisible when near tall grass. The Hillbilly can use his chainsaw to run away extremely fast. The nurse can quickly get behind walls by blinking through them. Feng Min is a great distraction, though she never lasts long as a result...

In the end though, Nea finds and kills ALL survivors.
Person 1: Wanna play some Dead by Daylight?

Person 2 : Ugh. It's always the same. You run away from Nea as fast as can and that's it man. It's so boring!
