I hope everyone who wants to be on permanent DST experiences an eternity of the first day of spring forward, never rested again

It's like this comes up every 6 months. Good thing we have a robust economy and world peace so we can fuck around with subjects like this.

Having the sun come up at 5 am and go down at 5 pm in the summer is my nightmare. Why on earth would we rather change 9 months instead of 3??? Fuck permanent standard time. I would rather keep changing.

Edit: I’ve said it before and the replies I am getting are only reinforcing my belief; morning people are an oppressive class.

Ah yes and have companies change their working hours twice per year instead. Lol.

Some traditions are simply stupid and should be discarded.

This is one example.

Well that was a non article.

Committing to standard time has health benefits and allows us to end the biannual tug of war between our biological and alarm clocks,” said AMA Trustee Alexander Ding, M.D., M.A, MBA.

So are they saying committing to standard time, or simply committing to a single time?

If they are saying Standard is better that Daylight Savings, then they are complete morons. And it isnt because I like one over the other. The fact is IT DOESNT FUCKING MATTER. Just pick one.

Daylight is constantly changing, depending on what latitude you are in. In the northern hemisphere millions of people will gain over an hour of daylight this month alone. Your rhythms are effected by people fucking with the clock, and that is it.

Didnt they try it back in the 70s and everyone freaked out so much they reverted within a year?

Every time the time switches there's a spike in car accidents, heart attacks, etc. Also, time should just be constant imo, arbitrarily shifting it an hour twice a year seems stupid to me.

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!

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.
