Daylight savings is dumb...
- Thread starter HBK4life
- Start date
I don’t want a sunrise at 5am in June. I’ll gladly take the extra hour of sun in the evening. Be a lot of dogs getting abused if that happens.
I understand it may have helped the farmers back in the day. And helped during 2 WWars but it's just not needed anymore.
I'd rather it be daylight savings time all the time. Would much rather have the extra hour of daylight after work hours than before.
Exactly. Make it one way and stick with it. The back and forth is lame.
Farmers did not want Daylight Savings, in fact they lobbied against it for years.
It was actually the golf industry that lobbied to extend Daylight Savings
I think the majority now is against the twice annual time changes. But yet it persists. A puzzler.
Personally I'd be happy with making either "normal" or "daylight savings" time permanent. I'd don't care which. Just stop forcing us to keep changing the damn clocks.

Get rid of it and take pennies along too.
If we made Daylight Savings permanent, the sun wouldn't rise until 9am in December.
If we got rid of Daylight Savings, it would be one fewer hour of Daylight in the Spring and Summer for outdoor activities after work.
I'm fine with keeping it the way it is.
As someone who gets up at 0400/0430 for work, it would be nice in my book for the sun to set earlier in the summer.
False. Do your research before spouting off noob.

Disadvantages of Day Light Saving Time Daylight Saving Time
Changing the time, even if it is only by one hour, disrupts our body clocks or circadian rhythm. For most people, the resulting tiredness is simply an inconvenience. For some, however, the time change can have more serious consequences to their health.
- Studies link the lack of sleep at the start of DST to car accidents, workplace injuries, suicide, and miscarriages.
- The early evening darkness after the end of the DST period is linked to depression.
- The risk of suffering a heart attack is also increased when DST begins.
Post hijack - regarding pennies.
There are about 130 billion pennies currently in circulation - that's a crapload.
I don't really care about daylight savings but I like pushing the clocks forward and it being daylight later....makes me feel like summer. Damn i like summer.
I think we should just keep springing forward twice every year. If we're going to f up our circadian rhythm twice every year, we may as well go for the full monty.

However, the counter happens during fall back.
For the morons that voted yes... do you not enjoy throwing the ball around with your son or daughter an extra hour as the weather gets warmer? 7:30 and we are still tossing the ball around. I love day light savings time.
One day you may find a girl drunk enough to have sex with you which may lead to a kid. Said kid will enjoy the extra daylight to play catch with you or other children.
I know having to change that damn car clock is difficult twice per year for your monkey brain, but there are a lot of solid YouTube videos that can walk you through it.
3-4 days.. we also enjoy bbqing with the extra light. Sorry your monkey brain struggles with the clocks. I can walk you through it if you want to setup a Teams call.
