Yo I work overnights and last night it demoralizingly changed from 2 AM to 1 AM but hey it wasn't pitch black outside when I rode home which means I can see the faces of all the profoundly miserable commuters every morning.

I don't understand why it's called daylight saving when the net result is zero. There's no saving, you just end up spending it

You can not do daylight savings time. That's allowed. My state just voted to do permanent daylight saving time but that is federally prohibited so I just don't know what the gently caress. Everyone was excited we wouldn't have to change our clocks, because ultimately that's all anyone cares about, but it didn't do anything. It's not like it was a surprise either, it said in the text of the proposition that we couldn't do gently caress all about it unless congress did a thing, which is impossible. But instead of saying 'Ok let's just go to standard only,' to actually accomplish the thing that everyone wants, we just voted to do a thing we can't do.

Please take a writing class.

Just to be clear we just left DST, so if you're saying it sucks or it's bullshit then you like the way it is now because we're in real time.

Life hack: set your clocks to display whatever time you want, just as long as you can do the conversions and show up to poo poo at the time people expect you to.

For example it's dark as gently caress outside but all my clocks say it's 2:30 in the afternoon and my mood is better for it

Mostly pseudo-random.
What's loving weirder is that if you live outside the us, dalylight saving time happened 2 weeks ago. Why the gently caress do they get it early? Its unfair.

this is the first time in years I wasn't working a 12 hour night shift when DST hit and had to eat an extra hour of work unpaid

my DST was pretty good

I've had this happen a few times at work. It's fun when the boss is checking how long I took to do a call, and the times record me as leaving 25 minutes before I got there.

This time change only resultes in the dog nosing me awake for breakfast instead of politely waiting for my alarm like he normally does.

Yeah changing the time sucks. I don't care if they use DST or normal time or whatever the gently caress. Just stop changing the clocks.

I used to work nights and my commute home was driving directly east into the rising sun. It was great getting my full day's worth of sunlight directly into my eyeballs because the sun would be setting when I woke up.

I don't think farmers like it either, at least those with livestock. The justification for it is energy use, not agriculture.

I woke up at 830, 730 actual time according to the “government”. Leave it at daylight savings time and save everyone a lot of lost effort and darkness. I need a nap. Or,I don’t. It’s so confusing

If you hate it so much then why do you want to switch to it permanently, idiot? You don't hate dst you hate pointlessly losing/gaining an hour every year

DST is cool when you're up late and it goes from 1:59 to 1:00 or whatever. Or was it 2:59 to 2:00?

You can never really save daylight, for it is all fleeting moments, the sun extinguishes itself each night in a golden sea of piss and is once again ignited by the devils taint in the morning, as our hemispherical earth turns to make the seasons. :gbsmith:

The only good thing about DST is the massive loving relief that you can actually wake up again when it ends.

People who want to switch to permanent DST need to die in a way befitting people who are bad. Maybe it's the working schedule that's bad, not the position of the sun in the sky.
