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

I'm so tired of listening to this. Twice a year for my entire life. Let it go people

Yeah, quit trying to fix things! Leave shitty decisions from the past alone!

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

RFK Jr recommends sun lamps during the non-savings hours. Particularly on the arsehole.

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.

Well they don't call it Donald Savings Trump for nothing. What better way to honor the god emperor than sacrificing time itself in his name?

(I gagged a bit just typing this, I'm sorry)

Non-starter, according to DST sickos they need that extra hour of daylight to be at a higher number on the clock because of all the stuff they do. As if they weren't sitting on their asses on the couch 99% of the time either way.

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.

It’s also dependent on where you live. Someone living on the easternmost part of a time zone is going to tend to want DST over standard as compared to someone living on the westernmost part. I live in the easternmost part of the Eastern US time zone and I’d pick DST if I had the choice.

I don’t need the sun to come up at 4:30 in the morning during the summer, and I am a pretty skilled runner. I’m just not a morning person.

East Coast, standard time please.

I love daylight savings. I count the minutes until it returns. I think it should be permanent, for health reasons.

Didnt they try it back in the 70s and everyone freaked out so much they reverted within a year?

4:30 sunrise in June just feels wrong to me.

Nah, it’s about outside time. Not being in my garden, on my porch, or just outside in general because it’s dark at 5pm is depressing.

Then don't be. It doesn't change the fact that it's completely arbitrary when you get up.

People rarely have their bleary eyed shit together before 9am anyway, best save the sun time for off hours.

People who know about that than you do say you're wrong, and what's more important, I say your opinion isn't valid, so that's pretty much putting it to bed there.

I don't know, last time I had a barbecue at 5am no one showed up.

I’m pretty sure RFK sleeps under sun lamps, that’s why he looks the way he does.

Tbf, 5:00 sunset on standard time is not ideal for me either. But a lot more acceptable than having to suddenly adjust sleep because capitalists want to make more money.

You must be a morning person.

The more I think about it, 8 am sunrise if we did permanent DST in late Dec/early January would be shit too. We should just split the difference, lol

I agree with you. I actually like the change. Not a fan of Bush 2 lengthening DST since it gets out of sync with other countries.

Then get up an hour earlier. I personally can't relate to feeling depressed because it's dark out, like a bird having a blanket put over its cage, but I do enjoy the longer, cooler evenings with less UV.

No. Mornings feel like being on the wrong side of the sun.

I'm not, I hate mornings.

Saving

I wish I got to set the schedule to everything in my life

I'd love an alarm clock that only wakes you once the sun has crossed the meridian, like how navies used to only change the calendar day once they'd turned the glass and struck the bell at high noon.

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.

We really should just move to permanent standard time, and judging by some of the opinions to the contrary that I'm seeing in this thread, everyone who hates that should either be given a dispensation to move their work shift and bed time back an hour or be placed on a psychiatric hold.

I'm okay with that!

In the us your state can choose to do standard time anytimeiit wants. Daylight savings time is allowed in summer only so it is a federal issues and thus much harder to get passed.

This again.

They went the other way and went full savings time.

There's a button for that

Let's call it by it's proper name: Daylight Stealing Time

Fun fact: in the mid '70s the US attempted to go to full year daylight savings time. It was so hated by everyone that we switched back to switching our clocks after very few years

The research is in, permanent standard time is healthier.

Edit for the doubters

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

D'oh!

It’s because he’s cold blooded

It's like this comes up every 6 months. Good thing we have a robust economy and world peace so we can fuck around with subjects like this.

Having the sun come up at 5 am and go down at 5 pm in the summer is my nightmare. Why on earth would we rather change 9 months instead of 3??? Fuck permanent standard time. I would rather keep changing.

Edit: I’ve said it before and the replies I am getting are only reinforcing my belief; morning people are an oppressive class.

Make daylight great again

It absolutely doesn't matter. What matters is not changing.

It is such a non-issue, messing with the clocks. I ruin my sleep plenty on my own, and I'm sure everyone here sits up playing videogames or fucking around on the internet from time to time.

Glad you like it bitch.

• with love the people that are about to die at the next change in your honor.
