This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

I hope everyone who wants to be on permanent DST experiences an eternity of the first day of spring forward, never rested again

How can anyone not love a long walk as the sun rises? Dawn is excellent and it's only rival for best time is dusk.

This reinforces permanent standard time. I'd rather have kids going to school with the sunrise than hanging around waiting for the bus in the darkness an hour before sunrise.

Ok, then we change when school is

Good idea, and then let's start cutting cake into twice as many slices so we can eat twice as much. In reality we should stay on Standard time and school should also start an hour later anyway, because that has also been proven to increase schoolkids' quality of life.

Ok I just looked and my previous comment was made without realizing which of my comments had been replied to. Dawn walks have no bearing on what time dawn should be.
