>another year>another shitty useless time change
But what really pisses me off is Ecumenism and catering to Muslims and atheists
>only changing his clocks two weeks late
>>108478896it helps farmers and other ancient industries that rely on the sunrise for maximum work hours.stop being retarded
>>108479038Crops don't grow between 5 and 6 am?
wasnt that like 2 weeks ago?
>>108479038disrupting established routines for livestock does not seem like "help". cows, pigs, chickens don't check their wristwatches for when breakfast time is
we should just go back to standard time. none of this shifting nonsense and not that retarded "permanent dst" shite either
>>108479206>chickens don't check their wristwatchesThen how do cocks know when to yell for breakfast?
>>108479035>>108479153In Europe it was today.
>>108479153It's not on the same day everywhere, to add to the confusion.
>>108479038>farmers can't wake up if the machine doesn't print out the right numberHow did they manage to survive for the 15,000 years before clocks became commonplace?
No one ever complains about the one in October
>>108481205because everything goes back to normal
>>108481205I do.
We should just stick with the summer time all year round.>Waking up at before dawn makes you feel productive (even if the sun comes out at 8 in the morning) >Going home from work at night makes you depressedJust give me one more hour of daylight in the winter you fucking bureaucrats.
>>108481250It literally doesn't matter. Just pick one and stick with it for fuck's sake.
>>108481257That's what I want too, I'm just making the argument that it makes more sense to use the summer time.
Just stick to UNIX time.
>>108481250every sleep scientist disagrees with you>>108481257nah standard time is superior and we should use it
>>108478896children in Scotland's North most Islands would be going to school in darkness otherwise.Will then no-one consider those poor 13 childs?
>>108481322To learn how to apply for welfare and shoot heroin without getting HIV?
>>108481297>every sleep scientist disagrees with youAnd?
>>108481355your theory is incorrect. everyone who switches to summer time year-round regrets it and switches back within a year.people like how the summer has more daylight and somehow think that fucking with the clocks will make the winter like that. it won't.
>>108478896>another year of politician's being like "we're gonna talk about ending daylights savings time just to give you some hope but then never actually do it"It's all so tiresome
>>108481374>somehow think that fucking with the clocks will make the winter like that.But I don't, from the start I said I'd rather wake up before dawn just so I have one more hour of daylight before sunset.
There is an obviously correct time: where on average throghout the year the sun is at its highest position at 12:00 and at its lowest at 00:00, rises at 06:00 and sets at 18:00.for everything else, it's not the clock that should change, but the time at which you do stuff. want to have more sun time during summer? get up and go to bed earlier.
>>108481809This would just be horribly confusing. Instead, why can't we just invent technology that makes humans require less sleep? Imagine taking a pill that would reduce your sleep from 8 to 7 hours. Even 1 hour a night would be an immense benefit to the quality of human life.
>>108481836it's not horribly confusing, it's standard (winter) time. you will be a little off the more you go in-between timezones, of course.
>>108481864If the time at which you do stuff changes that means work, school, super markets etc. will all have to adjust their schedules twice a year, which gets confusing. Instead, everyone simply agrees to move the entire clock so schedules stay the same.
>>108478896>another wave of senseless roadkill cause the patterns of human activity suddenly shift an hour relative to the rest of nature
>>108478896I actually encountered a timezone datetime error on a celery task that cascaded to the DB then to the app in the endusers browser that caused us to permanently lose hundreds of medical tests once. Daylight savings isn't just annoying, it's really dangerous. Everytime we roll the clock back, heart attacks and car accidents tick up significantly for a week. Why can't we all just use GMT time and just wake up 0 and work from 2 to 10 or whatever? Are we really that fragile? The economy could use the work it would create updating all of the effected systems anyways.
no idea what youre on about my computers all stay the same timezone UTC
>>108479038gr8 b8 m8t. farmer
the clock in my car is now correct again
>>108479038They removed that shit in my country and literally nobody was negatively affectedMeanwhile it's objectively bad for everyone to switch suddenly
>>108483860it really isn't that hard or confusing to have a different schedule half the year. but ultimately there is no point in even switching.
>>108484265It's not even just the switch that's bad. Waking up the hour earlier is actively mentally and physically harmful.
