Mildly Interesting

Oh my state passed a law abolishing it but the federal government stopped it. You want to know why? You want to know the stupid reason why the federal government won't abolish daylight savings? Because polling indicates that half of the people want it gone forever and everybody else wants it there forever.

They literally can't decide whether to always have the clock one way or the other, so we get to split the difference. I don't fucking care. Just pick one and stick with it. Everybody has electric lights anyway, it's the 21st century, we need to move on from this 1700s bullshit.

Daylight Saving Time (not Savings). Most people get this wrong and I'm not sure why.

I don't care which way they go. Hell, split the difference and move us to a 30 minute offset if you can't make up your minds. Just stop changing the bloody clocks twice a year. Please!

Great, with scientific evidence backing this we are fucked for ever getting this changed. What we really need is a rising passively racist influencer to get behind the idea to get any support in 2026.

Daylight Saving Time just needs to be completely eradicated, it makes no sense in the modern day. The problem is that you have this disagreement over "which" time should be the default, either standard time or daylight time (which Canada/the US spend more of the year in than not).

IMO it should just be standard time, emphasis on the word "standard". If you want more daylight hours in the evening for events and such, just start things an hour earlier.

I honestly don't care if we choose permanent standard time or DST. Either one would be better than having to switch twice a year. I'll even propose a compromise: we can try one for a year, try the other for the next year, and see which one works better.

Not doing either because we can't agree on which one should be permanent seems like the worst option.

don't let trump see this. he will add two extra DST switches per year and rename it

sleep experts say that standard time (which shifts daylight hours earlier in the morning) aligns best with human circadian biology.

I hope you never see the light of day again, only being able to beside between the hours of dusk and dawn, chained to your desk dreaming of seeing the sun just once.

As someone who lived in a country with DST and now living in a country without it, it's honestly such a pleasure never having to worry about losing or gaining an hour at an arbitrary time of the year.
