ARRRRGGGHHH DAYLIGHT SAVINGS!!!!

It's not for another two weeks in Europe. So that means the deluge of complaints and queries that accompanies LA getting into the office is just going to hit me at 4pm instead of 5pm.

Springbreak is an hour shorter.

It's extra confusing this year because I'm traveling between Austin, Indianapolis, and Chicago. Keeping track of the various time zones is a nightmare.

everyone be careful out there

The phones at work have been an hour early all week. We use the cutting edge technology of 2004, apparently.

wishing for summer time in the winter sun

main dangers of dusk and evenings in nyc are stepping in dog shit

http://www.daylightsavingstime.info/ - It's like an IRE thread come to life.

at least those of us in the Northeast will be able to see the foot of snow for an extra hour on Tuesday.

Who do I talk to about never going back to standard time after the DST change this year?

DST is superior in every way.
Standard is dumb and it sucks.

Truer words have never been said.

also i get to get up in the dark to go to my doctor appointments again

I'll say this: With the way this year has already been going, DST likely won't feel so disruptive this time around.

the only thing good about DST is that it prevents the sky getting light at 4am in june

OTM

i swear it's like, hella early this year

when i was a kid it was the last sunday in april

so yeah it's hella early now

it's bullshit & i hate it

UK clocks dont change til end of the month

Johnny Fever OTM

The thing I'm proudest of Dubya for doing as president is lengthening the period of time the US is under DST each year.

It was the worst thing he ever did.

"Even worse than –"

"YES."

it's gonna snow tomorrow

a week or two ago it was 60

i don't even know when i am now

it's 2017

oh god

Worst weekend of the year

I love it so much.

If jobs were 7-3 rather than 9-5, would many care for DST?

granted: not many are 9-5 anymore.

what i want is darkness savings

mookie otm

all daylight savings means to me is that soon it will never not be 100 degrees for like, 6 months or some shit and i hate it

i can never understand? which time is "standard" and why

i can't figure out which one is normal. all i want to do is sleep all the time so i just treat each transition as i am entering a new period of hell.

Standard now somehow exists for less than 50% of the year in most places, so I don't even know what's standard about it anymore.

time classic

Time zones approximate 15° orange slices of the globe. Under normal, non-DLS time, if you're at 0°, 15°, 30°, 45°, 60° (etc) longitude, at the center of each abstract time zone, the sun is most directly overhead at local noon.

DLS shifts an hour from morning to the evening, and was lobbied for by ice cream vendors and the like who benefited from more hours of post-labor sunlit leisure.

Beginning tomorrow, this sign in Indiana will be wrong again for the next eight months.

all i want to do is sleep all the time

ilu

harbl mookie and I move to establish the independent nation of Sleepistan where daylight savings is BANNED

there has been some talk of colonizing the faroes

the summer light would be okay there

the law should be that civil twilight should never start before 5:30 pm (in Chicago at least) and if Trump could make that happen, then he has my vote in 2020

I hate 4:15 sunset (and on full darkness at 3:00 pm on cloudy days)

i've got some uncivil twilight for u

when do you like your daylight?

between 10 and 4 will do, thanks

back in the day i used to play pickup basketball after work, for which daylight is useful, but now let us plunge this planet in eternal darkness imo

I hear you. I've been averse to the concept of craving daylight. I used to think it was a sign of being a simp.

I'm the opposite: the pain of the loss of an hour is offset by the coming of 4 blessed months when it won't be below 0°C in the daytime, for the most part.

granted: not many are 9-5 anymore.

Just us normals who refuse to do anything else. (it's in the Bible)

begone, sleepies
