Fuck.  YES.

Not only do I not care that you really really really love that it gets light at 6:00 a.m., so the morning run you started, because gosh doesn't a morning jog just really kickstart your day and make you feel SUPER!, and isn't it GREAT that I can run the last half of my hour-long run in the daylight......I hate every word you say about it and every second of your bullshit smile.

I'm excited for it to be dark at 8:30 in the mornings during the middle of winter.

I am.  The best duck hunting around here starts in mid-December.  Sunrise is anywhere from 7:10 to 7:28, meaning shooting time is 6:40-6:58.  Add an hour to that -- I don't need to have the dekes out and me set up in my cover until 7:40-7:58.  That's downright civilized.  I love it.

the awesome thing is more sun for your solar panels!

Expand  

Precisely.  This is just another scam perpetrated by the climate change group.  If we switch year-around to daylight saving time, it'll make solar look like an attractive option because of one more hour of sunlight so it'll amplify their current propaganda.  As we know though, the wind in Texas typically kicks up more at night...so one more hour of sunlight by shifting the orbit of the Earth and our clocks will further negate that.  So "Green Energy" has quite a conundrum on their hands.  Good luck with that bitches!

Laugh all you want sir, but one more of daylight is gonna wreak havoc on Naval vessels trying to celestially navigate with an extra hour of sunlight to deal with.  

I bet anyone on here $50 and my left nut that I can convince a sitting member of the U.S. Congress that we're actually talking about a net/real increase in sunlight.

we should go to standard time not daylight savings time. I'm fine with it, but they should standardize with the rest of the world on standard time not some bullshit made up timezone.

Wrong.  They're doing it the right way.  Hope it passes both houses and comes into effect before the Fall.

I like keeping it the same all year, but they're doing it backwards.  DST is fucking bullshit for anyone who has children or works a typical schedule for a living.  It doesn't need to be light outside at 9:30 at night.  And anyone who whines about how they like to mow their yard later in the evening can go fuck themselves for making a racket when everyone else is trying to relax.

Don't worry, they'll probably move it to that next year, with the Snowflake Protection Act.

The shift is not uniform across countries.  So while america and europe both implemented this spring/summer time shift, they do it on different days. 
 

So for a many days, new york is x hours from paris, then for a bunch of days, its y hours instead. 
 

fucking ridiculous.

The rest of the world is mostly DST? I just want to align with whatever is going on in Europe and Australia and shit. The time change fucks up international schedules for a month it more a year cuz they are different.

One more hour of hot sunlight and that's precisely what you'll have on your hands, an "Earth Fire!"  You think the planet's getting hotter now, wait until we get an extra hour of sun!

But yeah, the whole "3 hour train ride from Phoenix to Yuma...let's synchronize all the clocks around the world."  150 years later, "Flying halfway across the world from Arizona to India during DST switch?  Ah fuck it, who knows...figure it out when you land."

Well, I mean.....that's what clock time does -- it tricks our bio clock.

I condition my body to get up at 7:00 am.  So, I don't feel tired when I get up at 7:00.  Now that shooting time is a good bit after that, I can get up at MY "normal time" and get in a hunt.  I mean, changing our bio habits based on artificial clock time is literally the entire thing that DST is about, so......yeah.

I've been waking up around 4:00a since Covid-19 started.  So I'm either all for this or taking up heroin.  One of the two.

I mean we still measure things in a fucked up way that makes no sense while the rest of the world does it right using the metric system. I don't think we give a good god damned what the rest of those commie foreigners do with their clocks.

Maybe this will bring us one inch closer to also going on the metric system and being normal.  but we won't because the metric system is based on 10, which is based on arabic numerals.  Which is obviously brown and evil.  Jesus clearly believe in inches and miles and acres as evidenced by the myriad gospel writing of John, Mark, and Luke.   

Fun fact though you can fuck with people...why is "6" the base of most of our timekeeping?  60 seconds, 60 minutes, 24 hours, 30 days/month, 12 months/year, 360days/year (obviously some adaptations over time as our observational technology has improved).  But the base of 6 and 10 rule so much of our life and we never stop to wonder why?  

Fucking-A, there's a fucking billion-dollar scam in here somewhere.  Who's with me?

Or better yet, tell them that extra hour of sunlight will lead to global warming.

Pesky morning people? Those of us that are truly morning people get up at 4 am and are huge curmudgeons. The pesky ones are the ones who get up at 8 and roll in to the office mid-morning.

I have a very simple rule.  If I have to get up at 4 am, something's gonna die that day.

DST is bullshit. This is not complicated, people. By convention we decided a long time ago that the day would have 24 hours and 12 noon would correspond to the sun being at its zenith. Standard time is the closest to that, not fucking DST.
