Why Daylight Saving Time Should Be Abolished

[@sillysad3198]

imagine how much pain it creates for all those industries with uninterruptible cycle... oh! snap, the rail road ignores this insanity from THE START!

Someone forgot to tell my kids that the clock changed

[@evanburrows1697]

I've always found daylight savings to be very sensible. Although I can see why it might seem superfluous in lower latitudes when they hours-per-day change by significantly smaller amount, so people might think what's the point. But the higher the latitude, the more useful it becomes (well until you end up in "midnight sun" territory where it becomes superfluous again, but that's only an issue for Canada and Alaska.)

Changing the clocks does not create more daylight but it does change the time of sunrise and sunset When the clocks set forward to daylight saving time Sunrise and Sunset will be 1 hour later than the Previous Day When the clocks set back to standard time Sunrise and Sunset will be 1 hour earlier than the previous day

My question is why are we getting rid of standard time? If I live in GMT-5, I want to be in GMT-5. If we get rid of standard time then my clocks would actually be GMT-4 even though geographically I am GMT-5. I will have to start referring to my timezone as GMT-5+1!

[@tueferbenz7492]

I totally agree. Except on one thing - we should have permanent standard time, not permanent daylight savings. The latter would mean dark mornings for a large part of the country for months, which would affect commuters and especially school kids.

Let's then offset GMT (UTC if you prefer) by one hour then everyone can stay on "standard" time and us photophilics can be happy and the photophobes be damned. 🤔😁😂🤣

My vote is with the Mrs.

[@paullatta]

I propose that the next time we do this we shift it by half an hour instead of an hour and keep it there. That way both sides get what they want. Of course, convincing the rest of the world to go along would be an issue.

[@thogevoll]

That's not a half bad idea.

Your wife has serious political connections.

Could we just stay on DST and never go back to the normal. I do like how in summer it’s light out later.

[@evilsharkey8954]

That would be worse for adolescents in school, who are already notoriously sleep deprived due to a delayed sleep phase (most of them), homework, extracurricular activities, and phones. Currently, they get hit by messed up clocks more in the spring and early fall, when the time changes. If we switched to DST year round, they’d get hit even worse.

@evilsharkey8954 How would they “get hit even worse” if it’s year round?
