Yeah this really needed a watermark…
DST > ST
As someone who lived half my life in a place without dst, I can objectively say standard time rules, saving time drools.
You have to be in the right place for no dst. I personally hate having sunrise be 430 (first light at 3) and sunset at 800, and shifting those times by an hour feels so much more natural to most people’s lives
When it gets dark super early? Lame as fuck. Unless you’re talking about Arizona, fuck that.
STD > TD
If DST is so good, why isn’t it STANDARD…?
I mean, it is in use for 3/4 of the year. (That’s 0.75 for you metric twats who don’t understand fractions)
Why would using metric cause someone not to understand fractions?
I don’t know. You’ll have to ask them.
All I know is they whine a lot when you mention 1/4 cup or 3/16 of an inch, and seem to think it’s really important to be able to measure a 2000km car trip to mm precision.
leaving the clocks alone all year > fucking with them.
I didn’t even know it happened.
Didn’t the clocks just change a few months ago? No way they changed again this soon.
Yeah March 9, almost two months ago. If OP is still suffering I don’t think it’s the DST.
Next clock change is Nov 2.
As a software engineer in the UK it’s particularly infuriating that half the year the local time is the same as UTC (server time) and the other half it’s not. So, I have to second guess the time every time I read it because my brain doesn’t like the lack of consistency
The best part is how different countries start and end daylight savings time on different days
