ITT: People absolutely convinced "their" side of the hour is the Only Correct Choice, and can't understand why people who prefer the "other" side of the hour can't just adjust their schedule to compensate.

They have no vision!

We have the technology now to make DST a sliding scale so that the sun sets at 9PM every day.

Listen not to the nay-sayers! "Waaah, it is not good to eat lunch in the dark before sunrise!" Not with that attitude, mister!

Nah. Sunrise at 6.

The Romans had that technology too, the day was split into 12 hours of sunlight and 12 hours of night, no matter the time of year

Choose whichever, but just fucking choose one.

Split the time zones in half and offset them by 45-60 minutes.

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.
