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

You should read more into this. The detrimental health effects aren't linked to going permantly to DST, but from switching back and forth between DST and standard time.

You don't have to report back to me that you read more on the subject.

But if you are going to do that, please go back and more thoroughly read what I actually said in previous comments. It seems like you might have missed part of my point.

It was for your benefit, not mine. I read it yesterday.

It seems to be worse to spring forward, is the point. It doesn't align with the most prevalent circadian rhythm in humans, although there are exceptions. I guess those people are just sol regardless, which is regrettable.
