I’ll edit my responses here…
A small anecdote here: I read a few days ago that apparently, Alzheimer’s patients get their daily routine and circadian rhythm knocked around by this policy
Edit 2: It’s funny how people are talking about time, as if this were my 2nd post of discussion on why time measurement is bullshit, on my account…
Some memorable replies here:
another point is that it’s probably not great for animals with a strong internal clock
Do not make me get up an hour earlier I will fucking cut you.
On the other hand it is nice the park is open later but have you considered just adequately lighting the park bike paths?
it’s bad and we should commemorate the inventor with a public toilet
I strongly prefer permanent standard time, because I prefer morning light to evening light. Also, the fact that states can choose permanent standard time without congressional approval means that people who are pro daylight saving are holding us back from abolishing time changes.
Scientists and medical experts agree: more morning light is beneficial for health since it sets the circadian rhythm for the day. Too much evening light delays sleep onset and makes it difficult for teens to get up in the morning.
Standard Time is the obvious choice and I will die on this hill.
changing the clocks sucks ass and it’s completely asinine that we still have to do it
Death to America
Time is man’s attempt to ride a wave of order in an ocean of chaos.
In other words, DST or no DST. Pick one and stick to it, damnit!
It’s not disruptive enough. We should switch to metric while daylight savings is happening and switch back to imperial when it ends. Think of how many jobs would be created by constantly needing to change all the road signs.
Switch to metric time for the duration as well to really shake things up.
I don’t really have any strong opinions on it but watching there suddenly be way more/less hours of daylight is extremely amusing to me every 6 months without fail. i literally become the god damn soyjak pointing at the sun
Same, bro, I always find it funny wherever I am, daylight either starts to die at 4 PM or 9 PM, depending on the seasons
talkin’ bout the weather and conditions outside never gets old. World’s oldest small talk
