That’s just idiotic. It’s far more important when sunrise and sunset take place than when noon takes place.
Edit: I imagine you must live towards the south, don’t you?

You really need to make up a story about how long you were homeless for before being able to buy the materials that it took up build this house by hand one piece a day for twenty years… or something like that. Otherwise nobody will notice the post.

Reply to comment by Gemmabeta in TIL dunce caps were originally a sign of high intelligence and wisdom. Philosopher and theologian John Duns Scotus was a proponent of pointy hats as a way to funnel knowledge to the mind and his followers, called Dunsmen, wore them. By the 1500s the Dunsmen fell out of favor as “behind the times”. by Aequitas05
It is worth also noting, though, that while your comment applies to the origin of the tradition of the cap, the term “dunce” does trace back to John Duns Scotus. While he was a noted philosopher in his time, his followers were later seen as outdated thinkers during the Enlightenment, which is how the teen became pejorative.
