Reminder that 2 years ago getting rid of it unanimously passed the senate, but not the house, so we're still stuck with it. It's an excellent example to point to about how both parties never get anything actually beneficial done no matter how popular it is, but somehow manage to give trillions to Israel no problem.

Even the FARMERS hate it, even though it’s ostensibly for them.

I recall reading a Reddit thread on /r/farming where they were all bitching about how fucking pointless and stupid it is, with one user commenting “My work day starts when the sun rises, and the sun doesn’t care what our fucking clocks say what time it is”

Unlimited genocide on daylight savings time

I’m with you, but I’m gonna be pedantic anyway: Daylight saving time is the summer time with more light in the evening. Standard time is the garbage one we’re about to switch back to where it gets dark super early.

Seriously fuck this shit. Starting next week gonna be fucking dark out when i leave for work and dark out half an hour before I leave work. Super stoked to not have any waking hours during daylight to do what I want on weekdays for the next 4 months.

DST sucks. i often think about how it probably kills a measurable number of people every year by slightly spiking car accidents and stuff in the morning when the time goes back.

On the one hand, DST is annoying and disruptive. On the other hand, it no longer serves any practical purpose whatsoever.

Really glad we still have to put up with this shit.

You have it backwards. Death to standard time. Daylight savings is during the summer. We're about to go back to regular time.

couldnt give less of a fuck about the difference between standard and daylight savings time, i just hate the switching

Death to America

Counterpoint: death to capitalism, death to the workday

I do shift work so when DST hits I usually get an extra hour of work that day.

So many ways in which this shithole country is still hopelessly stuck in the past

And we’ll never get out without force (and force is swiftly crushed by the shithole’s surveillance apparatus)

Correct opinion, any other is wrong

If there were no time zones it would be the same time everywhere on Earth.

My question is, when are we going to spend some of this daylight that we have saved up?

NOON SHOULD BE WHEN THE SUN IS AT ITS PEAK FOR THE DAY. I CAN FORGIVE 30MINS HERE AND THERE BUT MY SUNDAIL DOESN'T WORK.

Seriously though, I feel like I'm a plant that needs to stay in sync with the sun and seasons. As a neat little activity you can go to timeanddate.com and put in your location (or any location) and see at what time of the day the sun is at its peak. It also tells you the angle above/below the horizon for the sun and moon at any time and date.

Daylight savings time sucks because its noon is offset from solar noon, but I think most people think we're going to daylight savings time when we're actually exiting daylight savings time into standard time. Standard time is better because its noon is (mostly) synced with solar noon. And since we spend the majority of the year in daylight savings time, the noon that's on our clocks doesn't actually correspond to anything since the sun is at its highest at like 1pm. Real simulacrum hours.

Daylight savings cos its saving my eyes from seeing daylight until spring
