Daylight Savings Time

[Stryder50]

Really.
I thought you were better.

Point is......Do you want daylight to start at 6am or 7am?
We live in the same TZ.
Do you want darkness, ie, sunset, to be at 4:30 or 5:30?

And I thought you were smarter than you display.

This started with the stupid statement in you post #26 here where you wanted to "Abolish Daylight Saving time" so you can have an extra hour of daylight in the afternoon.

I was merely pointing out that is what you HAVE WITH DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME, and abolishing it, which we are doing now (for this year) is what takes away that "extra" hour of daylight you want.

Point of your post I responded to had nothing to do with what I or others might want. Your post was showing how you don't understand the concept of Daylight Saving Time.

FWIW, I don't care if sunset is closer to 4:30 or 5:30, but I do wish we could settle with one or the other and not be changing the clocks twice a year.

From I gather it's to bring more sunlight in the morning for the kids going to school to cut down on them being kidnapped, I mean it makes sense

Really?

Kidnapping is a AM thing, a cult thing?
Your opinion, Kidnapping occurs in the AM darkness, but not in the ............. other times.
What a hard you are.

Exactly.
What I have suggested.

Why the fight?

Check the mirror and ask yourself.

I was merely pointing out that your post #26 had a major logic disconnect and didn't say what it seems you might have wanted to say.
Your first sentence contradicted your second sentence.

My entire point was:

I want less morning daylight time, and more afternoon daylight time.

How did I contradict myself?
I want less morning daylight time, and more afternoon daylight time.

This is what you said in post #26;
...
Abolish Day Light Savings Time.

I'd rather have an extra hour of afternoon daylight.
....
Note, you did not say "I want less morning daylight time,"

As I've pointed out, more than once now, it is Day Light Savings Time that gives you the extra hour of afternoon daylight.
Abolish Day Light Savings Time and you lose that 'extra hour'.

Since pretty much 100% of the population uses smartphones as their alarm clock these days, it’s not as big a pain in the ass as it used to be.

No risk of being an hour late/early for work twice a year

The only clocks I have to change are the ones in my car and the one on my oven, when I bother to get around to it

Is it really?

Can you show a link that suggests that DST is about kids being in the dark?
JFC.

not exactly but what else could it be for?
instead of getting all pissy just think, does it help adults? not really

therefore the conclusion is it's kids going to school

unless you have another theory that makes sense instead of bitching at everybody

It was all about conservation...

Why Do We Have Daylight Saving Time? | HISTORY

The idea has been controversial ever since its creation.

Why does the US have daylight saving time? | USAFacts

Daylight saving originated as a wartime effort to save fuel and energy.

Physiologically speaking, Standard Time is better for us...

Study suggests most Americans would be healthier without daylight saving time

According to a new analysis by Stanford Medicine scientists, changing clocks twice a year disrupts circadian rhythms, leading to higher rates of stroke and obesity.

Do kids even walk to school anymore?

I know parents who drive their kids, even though the schools like 2 blocks away

We have 5 elementary schools in our District.

ONE of those is a NO BUS school.
Kids walk, ride scooters, or have parents drop them off.

Did you all survive it like we have for decades?
Most people bitching about it aren't even on a schedule.
See you all in six months.

Physics Has a Deep State, Too

This is similar to the Quantum Leap, in which an electron goes from A to B without moving on the line AB.

In spring daylight-saving time, the time goes from 2:00 to 3:00 without ever going to 2:01, 2:02, etc.

Another similarity is that both violate internal logic, because an outside force arbitrarily breaks the rules of the normal process of motion and of time.

The Quantum Leap's displacement without motion is impossible in this universe, so there must be motion into an outside universe and back to where the electron winds up (wind also being part of a clock's vocabulary).

With daylight-saving time, outside interference is obvious, and it should also be so with Quantum Mechanics. But academics are trained to accept their Department Heads' statements without objection.
