Daylight Savings Time is a load of hooey

[Octopus Prime]

I might even go so far as to call it a crock!

Just a real dweeb of an event.

Time Change? No thank you.

It is awful but 3 of those poll options mean more or less the same thing. Also, none of them match my feelings about DST.

Also also, I'm not sure why you put up a poll since you have already made up your mind about it and put your answer in the thread title.

And yet, you didn't clarify your feelings in this very reply message?

I can't tell if your response is a joke or not? Probably that extra hour of sleep I lost.

I have tomorrow off work to focus on reviewing some papers for a deadline. I hadn't realized it would give me an extra day to adjust before going back to work but I'm quite pleased with myself.

It sucks, lasts for too much of the year and I hate it.

 

[Falselogic]

Permanent Daylight Savings Time is what I want.

 

[q 3]

I believe that each of us should be allowed to bank spare hours at our individual discretion and use them whenever we feel like it.

 

[Torzelbaum]

Permanent Daylight Savings Time is what I want.

You're a monster!

 

[Falselogic]

Talk to me in the middle of winter when its dark all day and you can't find the energy to get out of bed.

 

[Violentvixen]

I don't care which one is permanent I just want to stop changing. Having it be dark when I wake up sucks, but also not being able to walk the dogs after work or do anything fun sucks so they're pretty equal to me.

 

[Octopus Prime]

The last several time changes, my phones alarm did not adjust itself when I set it the previous night; making it so that I was an hour late or early getting up. And I work weird, early hours so that hour is significant.

This time, I figured that would happen again so I was clever and set my alarm based on that information... and my phone did adjust the alarm for Daylight Savings Time, so besides the hour of sleep I lost, I lost a second one because of that.

I TRIED TO PLAY DLSs RULES AND I STILL GOT BURNED!

ITS HOOEY I TELL YOU!

 

[FelixSH]

I don't care which we use, just stop changing it, it's annoying.

 

[Issun]

Wasn't there a bill a few years ago ending the back and forth that Trump even signed and then something kept it from being implemented?

 

[nataeryn]

its a bunch of malarkey is what it is.
all my clocks in my life change automatically so it always kinda takes me by surprise. my alarm goes off one day and I'm like "why is it so dark out"

 

[gorha]

I think we should only Fall Back, never Spring Forward, but redefine the hour to be 8766/8767 of the current hour. That way, there's still a day each year when you can get an extra hour of sleep.

Not sure about that, but a bipartisan bill to end it was introduced this week.

As Bipartisan Bill Moves To End Daylight Saving Time, A Review Of Why It's So Bad For Our Health

Liberals and conservatives alike both hate the Daylight Saving Time system so much, they've been able to put aside their many differences to try to cast off its chains.

I just want a schedule where I can get up while it's still dark, and get off work while it's still bright out, and keep that going throughout the year.

So, if anything, we have DST backwards.

 

[Octopus Prime]

Just the worst

The absolute dogs breakfast

 

[Becksworth]

You think you got it bad. I just got back from a trip and changed timezones on top of day light savings time ending.

 

[Octopus Prime]

Daylight Savings Time?

More like Staylight Nayvings Time

 

[Violentvixen]

I'm extra annoyed because Oregon said they'd get rid of it two years ago, but apparently because they picked to stay on DST rather than Standard Time it has to go through Congress and nothing has happened. Stupid.

 

[Zef]

It is now fully nighttime at 4PM and I haaaaate it

 

[Isrieri]

Then, the bill to end daylight-savings passes, but no one read the fine print and everyone actually voted to end daylight.

"An expedient and permanent solution to the climate change crisis! Through the power of GEOSCIENCE!"

 

[Paul le Fou]

I'm damned to eternal sunlessness for half the year either way, but at least I got an extra hour of sleep this weekend.

 

[Octopus Prime]

Who needs it?. What a load of rubbish

 

[Ixo]

My thoughts on skipping head for Spring:

 

[Exposition Owl]

We're getting toward that time of year when it will be fully light by 6:30AM, and I am Not Happy about it.

 

[Octopus Prime]

ITS A POOR EXCUSE FOR PICKING A MANS POCKET EVERY 15th OF MARCH

 

[Becksworth]

My son should be happy. Now there is time go outside and play with bubbles when I'm done with work.

YOU WANT TO TAKE HAPPINESS AWAY FROM A SMALL CHILD?!
