    Today is officially the first day of fall 🍁 Post the things you love about fall.

    I love the ~60s weather, the rain, the wet air and verdant growth. I had a realization this year that Halloween is my favorite holiday, and I can't help but get giddy seeing everything decked out in black and orange. Horror movies, good and bad. Putting skeletons on everything because why not.

    Also, I have two Chrome extensions for just this occasion: Spooky Detector and Pumpkin Detector. Make your browser seasonal!

    I LOVE IT

    Does anyone even USE Spooky Detector these days?
    Surely no one could be a user for 3+ years?

    Update: uh oh- competition.
    Update 2:

    Update 3: I'm sorry Matt, but I need to give props to this extension because it does... a lot. But yours at least keeps my webpage usable.

    Apparently I've got 273 users currently 😎. And there's a general uptick coming into fall:

    Knowing that I spent probably about 2 hours writing that extension, I'd say that it does all I could ask for. I also avoid Javascript like the plague so I haven't touched it since lmao.

    I really like fall because it is just summer but less daylight monkaS

    I mean, I love fall in places that actually have seasons other than summer and summer but raining. The leaves turning different colors, maybe even a little snow!

    I like the dead leaf smell. You know what I mean.

    The fall drinks are good too.

    PROUD 3 year user here. Pretty much my first introduction to @Aether was through this blessed extension. It will send shivers down my spine until the bitter END

    I wrote this thread when it was actually pleasant out and pre-Halloween and now spook season has passed and I'm reminded that fall in Seattle without central heating is The Cold As Balls: Prelude To Snow season and I'm regretting making this thread

    Sound like a SEASON NORMIE up in here. This is the Golden Hour. Right here. It's the perfect time where I can sit at my computer and not give homeostasis a run for it's money. I can actually wear pajamas around the house without sweating. There is actual rain and a need for more than a single bedsheet and it is glorious. Get that weak shit outta here.

    I respect the one week of good California fall but it's fucking sub 30 up here at night we wake up every day with ice on every surface outside and it gets dark at 4pm and I want the Good Fall Hours back

    Ice? You mean the thing I put in my margaritas? Comes out of the freezer? Why is it outside? I feel like it would get dirty really easily.
