This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

I hope everyone who wants to be on permanent DST experiences an eternity of the first day of spring forward, never rested again

Who could be for keeping that around?

some people (not me) complain about the sun going down at 4pm.

People in the Nordic countries have it way worse. There's no excuse.

It's not like it's the same time for waking up, going to bed, or shops opening for everyone across the world.

If you still need a heads-up about when things are happening when you travel, we may as well just make time UTC globally.
Sune goes down at 4pm? Just wake up and go to work early.

Me, I do - but I also don't think we should switch back and forth; just keep DST. Who the fuck cares if it's dark at 5:30am, we are meant to be asleep at that time
