What’s the point about your friend. Apparently they are still getting their sunlight every day.
Comment on Would it be better to just have a lot of society be underground?

My graveyard-shift friend simply gets sunlight before going to work later.

It’s cold down there. Have you ever gone into a basement? That heat is useful.

Right, and likewise underground dwellers can still go up to the surface to get their sunlight to prevent the havoc that you warned of. That’s my point.

It’s cold because it has a large thermal mass and nothing heating it up.
Human civilization produces a lot of heat. The thermal mass means it might take years or decades to reach its heat equilibrium. But that equilibrium will be excruciatingly hot.

Have you ever spent time in one with other people? My basement (furnished hangout space) warms up pretty quick when I have guests.
