I love daylight savings time.
My vote is pick a time and stick with it. I hate the time change.
In WWII Stalin put the Soviet Union on DST. He forgot to take them off it and they stayed on it until long after his death. (Food for thought. For those of you who pray for immortality, imagine what life would be like if Stalin, FDR, any Kennedy or Obama lived forever. If you think you’re tired of hearing from Jimmy Carter now, wait 50 years. You’ll really be tired of him by then.)
That’s right if I want a longer blanket all I have to do is cut 12 inches off one end and sew it back onto the other.
Stooopidest thing from the 70s ever
I hate the extra hour of daylight. Burns the grass.
I’m gonna invent a clock that automatically adjusts itself so you can have 40 hours in a day. You’ll still have to work eight hours but through creative adjustments this will only take about 15 minutes.
Out here in West Texas being in the central time zone, DST makes the afternoons extra long.
If you issued an edict that everyone had to get up and go to work one hour earlier, they'd all be bitchin' and grumbling.
So you make up a story about "taking an hour from the morning and attaching it to the evening," or simply setting the clocks one hour ahead and everybody's happy.
I remember when we went to daylight savings time in February 1974. A lot of kids got hit by cars when they were going to school in the dark. It was real bad in the northern states. You cannot fool mother nature.
I have long thought than any energy savings from DST is meaningless as most modern buildings do not depend on outside light and things like air conditioning run 24/7. However, the longer evening light is great during the summer. It might make more sense if DST went from Memorial Day to Labor Day

I just love getting up at 2 AM to reset all the clocks. It disrupts my beauty sleep.

Worse time of the year for me coming up this Sunday.
Sunset around 5:30 . Would like to go on MY time
where sun sets around 6 30 to 7 pm daily all year.
Of course in the summer i dont like sunsets at 830 or 9pm either.
Sleep is for pussies quit whining. I think we should double day light savings time. I could give a crap about kids in the north that have to walk to school in the mornings. Their parents made a stupid decision to live in the north. Screw em.
anyone who wants to take advantage of “daylight savings time” - whether it be a business, a school, some government offices or ANY organizations, they can announce:
“beginning on XX of ______ (start month) and lasting until XX of _______ (end month , our regular hours of operation will from x am/pm to y am/pm instead of z am/pm to w am/pm”
and anyone wanting to follow their example can do the same
it should be voluntary, not mandatory, for anyone
I wake up when the sun comes up. I go to bed when the sun goes down. How the clock is synchronized with the two doesn’t matter to me.
“What about the Southetn hemisphere?” You ask.
They do the same thing, but when it makes sense for their seasons. They still spring ahead, but they do it now.
If you can’t know that maybe you shouldn’t write articles about the subject
Without DST, here near Seattle, sunrise would be a few minutes after 4 AM on the solstice.
Kind of cool for me way back when I worked for a 24 hour diner — worked an extra hour because I was working the graveyard shift. :)
I prefer the ‘Animaniacs’ version:
Early to rise
and early to bed
makes a man wealthy
but socially dead.
