Is daylight savings time based or cringe?

[SandyCat]

I don't live in a place that does it so I've never experienced it

 

[xXx: State of the Union]

It's cringe

 

[Fetish Roulette]

I prefer nightdark spendings time just to be contrarian.

 

[WelperHelper99]

It's tradition, and I'm tired of changing shit for the great reset. Keep it. Ben Franklin would be proud

 

[OrionBalls]

I hate leaving for work and also coming home in the dark. Give me an hour of light in the morning, please.

 

[Blue Miaplacidus]

I'm also from a place that doesn't practice it and when working in a place that did it totally fucked me over, so it's cringe.

It's cringe. Non-daylight savings time is more closely aligned to our actual circadian rhythm. Daylight savings time actually causes more car accidents, more lost productivity, no reduction in energy use, and no benefit to farmers. It has no valid reason to exist any longer. Put us back on standard time and leave us there.

I hate how every single country and county starts and ends it at different times. We all could agree on a calendar but we can't agree on the time?

I understand the original concept, to allow people to have more of a life after dark in the winter months, but it is weird and inconsistent across jurisdictions.

Usually it doesn't affect me, personally, but it's got to be a nightmare for international shipping and whatnot.

It’s amazing. “Real” time is where it gets dark as fuck at 6pm and when DST rolls around I can be out till 8 with light to spare. The fact that they take that away as we go into the darker seasons (in the US) is insane to me. If anything we should add an extra hour and have DST be standard time all the time. It’s not even DST here yet and it’s gotten noticeably darker as the monthly go on and they’re about to make it worse I hate it so fucking much just pick one you niggers in charge holy SHIT!

 

[Overwritten Tapes]

It should be abolished

If you look at the actual 15 degree boundaries of where an hour change occurs on the globe, the time zones are quite divorced from that reality. Our current time zones are meant to be convenient, but have nothing to do with real time. If I remember correctly the US, if aligned to actual 15 degree boundaries, should have 6 time zones (the US distortions of time boundaries isn't nearly as bad as it is in other countries). Most of the current time zones in the US are biased towards keeping time ahead of where it should be. With DST, we are that much further misaligned to proper time, which is another reason why it should be eliminated.

 

[Poppavalyim Andropoff]

just before it starts the sun rises at about 4.45am so yeah fuck that noise

 

[SNU]

Based. It kills boomers. When boomers have to wake up an hour earlier the stress gives them heart attacks. There's a spike in old people having heart attacks around that time each year

 

[Niggergante]

It's based because it makes UN and related autists sperg out for some reason.

 

[AbyssStarer]

I'd rather the sun set at 3 than 2 in the winter. Mornings are whatever, I hardly see the night in summer anyway and standard time wouldn't change that much.
People boo hooing over springing ahead are just annoying.

 

[Sparkling Yuzu]

Cringe, join Circadian Rhythm Enjoyer Gang.

I wouldn't be bothered either way if everyone used the same days for changing the clocks. But I live in one time zone, my main clients live in another and a large part of my social circle lives in a third. Yeah, computers handle time zones for you pretty well these days but it's still annoying for those moments when you want to do some quick math in your head... "how many hours ahead/behind are they?".
