Why the fuck is it fucking dark outside already I live in the fucking tropics?!?! It should not be dark outside it’s fucking 6:30pm. Why the fuck do we “fall back” an hour, when we should be making the daylight last longer in the afternoon so we’re not depressed after work. It doesn’t even make sense, sunrise is at 6:40 am, who the fuck cares if that was 7:40 am, no one needs the sun in the morning to get ready and go to work? Most jobbers already wake up before sunrise to go to the gym or because their lives are shit and they have to for work. Why the fuck doesn’t this make any sense at all? This can’t be the way it always was. I’ve looked at the history of daylight savings and it makes no sense, farmers operate by the sun anyways, they don’t need to be told by a clock to get up early. There are many ways our timekeeping and calendar is fucked.https://youtu.be/rTJ5g4S_U5Ehttps://youtu.be/hsouZUsfza8I also have a theory that we should base the time on the sun, sunrise at 6am, noon when the sun is highest, 8pm when sun sets, make clocks run faster or slower to track this, and let people have literally faster days during the winter and then days would become longer during summer, but time would always read the same. Daylight savings might have got Mandela’d cuz it doesn’t even make sense that we fall back because it doesn’t even make sense if you wake up at 7 am, before falling back, that’s a half hour before sunrise, now it’s a half hour after sunrise, and you lose the afternoon sun. Then in spring, you literally would have to wake up at an EARLIER time to be up at sunrise. It’s literally the opposite of what it should be.
>>41529146Here’s the spring and fall charts. Assume you wake at 7am. Make this make sense, the only thing that the “spring ahead” saves is 30 mins of daylight you’d be seeping through, which is caused by the fact we fucking fell behind already in November. If you just didn’t fall behind, you wouldn’t have that fucking problem. Nobody cares about going to work or school in the dark, we did that my whole childhood, I swear to fuck the whole point of daylight savings was to “extend the sunlight at the end of the day” when winter made days shorter. We are literally doing daylight saving wrong and in the opposite direction.

>>41529798Yeah, this is one of the “death by a thousand cuts” that fucks people.Kids waking up early for school and not getting enough sleep takes like 5 IQ points off of them, kids should sleep in with no alarm, arrive at school after they eat breakfast or a lunch, and not be put under massive stress and social pressure to do pointless homework. This shit is causing so much suffering for kids and is pointless, and also teaches them nothing but to be a slave. One of my schools had mandatory sports until 4pm, then we’d change, and get home at like 5, we’d do homework or take a break after school, eat dinner, then sit on the computer and pretend to do homework or do it if you took a break before dinner. Then in highschool we got out at 2:40, meaning you were home by 3, and the day was barely over, eventually we’d all hang out and smoke after school every day cuz it was so early, and if you were a senior and had study hall or a blank space for your class you could leave early. This made every day a half day essentially, kids were having Thursday afternoon drinking parties. Yet in the morning it was dark out and kids were drinking coffee to wake up because they had to be up at like 6:45 for the bus. I’m certain they figured out a way to make it as damaging as possible for people. They say it was so parents who both worked could make it to work, and kids wouldn’t be alone in the morning, but if they get home at 3 and both work 9-5, they’re alone in the afternoon, which is when they’ll get up to trouble. In the morning if they were alone they’d just get ready and go out to the bus when it stopped by, in the afternoon they’re dropped off at home and then they have 2+ hours to themselves. In the morning if the bus came at 9 and mom worked at 9, she might have them ready by 8:30 and then leave for work, meaning they’re only alone for 30 minutes. Also, most likely mothers could just ask their job to start an hour later.
