I average out the spring and fall changes and just set my clocks 39 minutes ahead year-round.
TIL daylightsaving time is saving lives
I want to set my clock back every time. Let’s just do that.
I see. Last man with his job in tact wins the debate!
The vast majority of people want it to change, but we can’t get organized enough to politically make it happen.
You can change the word “it” above to apply to a LOT of things.
It’s really not worth the hassle tho…
Like, back when we had oil lamps and even when we first had electricity…
Sure, why not do it?
But now benefits are negligible, and the downsides like skyrocketing rates of early morning heart attacks are very real.
There’s just no good reason to do it, and lots of reasons not to
it was never worth the hassle because its not for your benefit its for the benefit of your boss , you waking up earlier in winter gives your boss one extra hour of work from you in daylight
I heard somewhere (shit source I know, but I’m at work so not looking it up) that one of the main proponents of daylight savings is golf courses (and restaurants). They get more tee times in with more daylight. And since everyone that rules the world golfs for some damn reason, I don’t see it changing soon.
