I have to rethink my priorities I guess.

I just strongly dislike my biorhythms being thrown out of whack for several weeks twice a year.
Yeah. It ending is a nice little treat I dont mind because Im able to sleep in and I get to be like “oh wow it feels so much later but it’s only 5 we have so much time!” for a few days until I adjust, but losing an hour in the spring can go to hell.
We dont even get anything out of it. Towards the end of daylight savings in october it’s actually darker in the mornings when you wake up which sucks cause it switches off just in time for it to also get darker earlier due to winter. Whats the pro of springing forwards? The sun fully sets at 9 instead of 8 in the summer? Admittedly I do love long summer days, but if lets be real that tradeoff is minimal(and kinda annoying if you have young kids).
Theres like a 2 week period in spring where its like “oh neat the sun is still up” in the evening. The whole thing is dumb.
Even in October when the clocks are turned back and we “get an extra hour” it still fucks with my body’s internal clock. And it takes weeks for me to adjust to the regular time.
My dog has no clue. She still wants a walk and will not be denied. Human timekeeping be damned.
Why do we need to change the clock twice a year when we know how many downsides there are?
- sleep disruptions, can take weeks to adjust
- 24% spike in heart attacks on the Monday after setting the clock forward
- 8% increased risk of stroke
- increased depressive episodes, worse mood, decreased cognitive performance
- 6% increase in traffic accidents
- more frequent workplace injuries
- increased pedestrian risk
- estimated between millions to billions of dollars in productivity loss annually in the US alone
- international coordination confusion
It fucking sucks
There’s been numerous referandums on the subject in which people have had the opportunity to vote on dealing with this shit.
Option A) leave it as is.
Option B) permanent DST
Option C) permanent whatever the other option is called.
Since getting rid of changing the clocks 2 times per year gets split between 2 different solutions, not fixing it wins the vote.
24% spike in heart attacks on the Monday after setting the clock forward
Is this true? If so, that’s a pretty crazy statistic.
Iirc the heart attacks even out over the span of a few weeks, so Idk about the others.

Did you get it, or…
The real problem with daylight savings time is that we haven’t killed and devoured the oligarchy/hegemony/kakistocracy.
I hate daylight savings time so much.
Do other countries do this stupid shit? We can’t even do time right
As an Indian, no we don’t.
some countries do. Wikipedia link
Hmmm they make a strong case. We should think about trying this.
I think there should be one clock for the entire planet and fuck timezones. Most people don’t actually care about what specific number hour the sun rises. Zenith at 4? Fuckit. Communication between people is more important than the movement of celestial bodies.
Shorter work days? The corporate and government bastards would add a week or month to the calendar, especially in the 3rd World countries, China and USA. Those folks would embrace it with their stupid work hard beyond the point of diminishing return attitude while the civilized 1st World countries would revolt.
Do all the people who have daylight savings time also use energy savings bulbs and money savings tips?
Of course, LED bulbs are so ubiquitous that it’s hard to even find filament bulbs that aren’t special use, and instead of wasting money on big trips to Epstein’s island they now have have the children trafficked straight to their hotel rooms
The ones in power deciding for everyone else don’t use them, I would think.
In my country daylights savings makes even less sense. We are already out of sync with solar time, because of Hitler. The Netherlands should follow GMT not CET. When the Netherlands was occupied ze Germans instated CET. So setting the clock back during summer will actually make the Netherlands almost 2 hours out of sync with the sun.
Just move the damn clock 30 min, everybody looses/everybody wins.
I mean… I have young kids with delacate sleep schedules, and I just want them to stop fucking with the clock. Please just pick a lane and stay in it.
Ok but I want to work less earlier rather than later.
shorter work days mean longer work days in summer. No thanks
I propose a compromise, mandate that at least half of the employees go to work an hour later than the other half
That’s a recipe for overpopulation :)
Hahaha I dunno why so many DV’s this is funny and true
LOL, no idea, at least someone enjoyed it.
