Daylight Saving Time

[d0gbreath]

I have about 12 clocks to reset.

I only have six. For the first time ever, I set them ahead before retiring last night. Much better than waking up to that chore.

I feel sorry for the people who have to move the stones at Stonehenge around.

It's all over now.
Everyone survive okay?


See you in six months when the anxiety ridden bring it up again.

What's interesting is that my dog adjusts immediately! It's amazing. She knows absolutely when it's time to sit in her spot and wait for her meals, et cetera.

You know the original reasoning behind it was to aid farmers.

Not so. Farmers don't work by the clock--they work until the work is done. The original reason for DST was to save energy during WWI. Read all about it. The Real Reason Why Daylight Saving Time Is a Thing

Why was daylight saving time started? Here's what you need to know.

Longer and lighter days were supposed to save energy, reduce traffic accidents and help people become more active. Governments thought daylight saving time would save money.

LOL! As I was resetting all my clocks this morning, I saved for last the one I have the most trouble figuring out how to do. For some reason, I noticed a tiny toggle switch I don't recall ever seeing before, labelled in tiny letters, "DST". Holy shit! One little click! Not a new clock or anything -- have owned it for about 6 years!

My face is red.

We got all of ours reset just in time for the power to flicker--had to reset about half of them again. LOL

Started during WW1 and more about tradition than fact. I kind of like it though because it give the illusion of a longer day.

[RoshawnMarkwees]

Back in 1974 during the energy crisis (the crisis created by the Arab oil embargo and the notion that the world was allegedly running out of oil as opposed to the energy crises democrats currently create to destroy the economy and the middle class) DST was suddenly implemented in January because they believed it would reduce energy demand.
The sun was coming up during first period as kids caught school buses in the AM dark. Disaster.

Comment:
The Spring Forward one hour adjustment is the worst one.
The sun rises later, and the sun sets later.

Clocks move forward tomorrow. Do you know what that means for the UK?

We will lose one hour of rain.
