As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.
Thank you and happy chatting!
We should have 13 months of 28 days each.
Every 12-13 days we set the clock back an hour to account for the extra 30 hours in a year.
So two times a month we get an extra hour to sleep. And no leap years to boot.
Time becomes meaningless.
I see no problems with this.
Always the same map, changing clocks twice a year is imperialist.
Time is a human system and the fact that we have a global-ish standard at all is a massive accomplishment in both technology and governance. We could implement A More Perfect Time System tomorrow and the reality is that we’d still need it to be backwards compatible so that historical data isn’t all useless and broken, so at best we’d add a new wrinkle into existing time zone specifications.
Tbh, I'm scared of touching time, and changing it for what it is...
i think it's cool that time is made up bullshit, and DST is here to remind us of that fact.
It fucked over my sleep schedule last week, so death to DST
Falling back is nice, but not enough to compensate for how much springing forward sucks. I'm against making daylight savings time year-round and in favor of year-round abolition. Night owls get enough shit from this society as-is.
I moved from a US state that didn't do daylight savings to one that did and I fucking hate it.
Time is man's attempt to ride a wave of order in an ocean of chaos.
In other words, DST or no DST. Pick one and stick to it, damnit!
it's bad and we should commemorate the inventor with a public toilet
Some fancy lad centuries ago decided this was a thing and we all have to live with it. No.
I like it and I think we should expand it. June 7th will roll back to may 30th.
