I prefer DST, and would love to leave the clocks the way they are now year round. I love having daylight after I'm done working.

Amen

dark when asleep
light for awake hours
unless working swing shift


Ppl voting for Trump for a third term because he was finally because he was the one genius that fixed daylight savings time


Even better, let's just use UTC worldwide. Who cares what the numbers on a device say when you go to work/rise/whatever?


Universal UTC would blow the minds of most regular people although my nerd brain would adapt.

In one of my previous jobs running a software dev team we stored all times in UTC and the back end services would do the conversion when reading from the database but we had to make the conversion when writing to the database. Super annoying.


China says been there done that. One time zone.

This would be annoying when traveling since you'd have to figure out when your noon is their noon.

And five o'clock somewhere would cease to be an excuse. Yeehaw.

Nope. There is only one noon. Who cares if the time called "12:00" means it's dark out where you are? (Or not, whatever).


Having to plan deliveries around every state's daylight savings preference sounds like a massive headache.

bowing to international pressure, they adopted daylight savings in 1986 and reversed back to not using it after a few years due to noticing massive spikes in stress related health conditions like strokes and heart attacks

upon dropping it, those elevated levels went back down to the old baseline

the entire reason we use it is because ben franklin thought we'd save money on candles


On another topic, there's a "road" near me that goes partially through a parking lot. I put road in quotes because it's two lanes on either side of the lot, but each segment connects to one end of the lot.

There are stop signs making the flow of traffic going from segment A to segment B stop. The parking lot has traffic coming out of it, but not much. I'd conservatively estimate the "through" traffic is 50x on a daily basis.

Seems wrong to make the most people stop instead of the fewest.

Also kinda pisses me off how many people I see just running the stop signs. Of course, it's wide open, so there's not much of a chance of accident. Shouldn't bother me like it does.

Probably was really because it killed the drive-in movie industry.

I'm in favor of DST all the time but wouldn't pick my president based on that issue.


C'mon, man! All that extra sunshine is gonna burn up all our crops!


I come done on the other side of it... I propose adding MORE time zones... a new zone every 10 degrees or so.
That way we can squeeze out 360 different zones.
Just think of all the commerce I can create by adding 200 or 300 more zones

Sorry man. If I'm in a parking lot with an unimpeded view I never obey the stop sign if there are no cars or pedestrians.

“I did a thing.”

“I was today years old when I learned”



this little F*cking tag that is attached to the bottom of my comforter.

When I make the bed with this little 'do not remove tag' at the bottom of my bed by my feet, in the morning when I awake, this thing is right next to my face.

Never fails!

and if I leave it towards the top of my bed by my face... it's still there when I wake up.
