Every time I see a meme like this, I freak out a little bit because I wonder if it’s happening soon
I’ve been an adult through 20+ changes of the clock, and I still will not know when it’s time to change them until 3 days before
Found the guy without kids. Each switch is hell for 3-7 days, regardless of age. I like to know it’s coming way ahead of time so I can start adjusting their schedules to limit the damage.
Perhaps the only good thing about living in Arizona is that I don’t have to deal with daylight savings time. We have too much daylight here as it is
20+ time changes just accounts for the last 10+ years (assuming you live in an area with DST)
Goddamnit , I thought the US Congress got rid of daylight savings time, but as always, it looks to have does in the house.
Daylight Savings is bad and its defenders should feel bad.
To be fair: If you live in the south, it doesn’t make much sense, but if you live a bit further north it’s the difference between getting up when the sun is a a reasonable place, or getting up in the middle of the night (winter) or the middle of the day (summer). I want it to be light out when I’m awake, not when it’s sleeping time.
Turns out it’s easier to adjust the clock than to say “work starts at 9 in the winter and at 8 in the summer”
I don’t want it to be dark so early. Living in the north, even with the extra morning hour in winter I still have to wake up in darkness. What’s the use of it?
me returning from work in the dark after spending all afternoon under cold white artificial lighting, and no dst:
Let’s just flip a coin. Heads we stick with summer time, tails we stick with standard. In 2026 it goes live. Gives everyone 2 years to update what they need. Humans will adapt.
Sure, I’m down. My point is, there’s really no point to over-analyse it. Choose one, flip a coin, hold a referendum, I really don’t care as long as we stop having these pointless changes twice a year.
There just always seems to be an excuse and then it goes into an argument of standard over summer. It really doesn’t matter. It’s impossible to please all and cover every single use-case. Humans will adapt.
I know I might be crazy for saying this, but I prefer midnight to be at 00:00, not 01:00.
