Daylight Saving Time

[Ingomike]

Evening sun is great! Switch to DST full time and leave the damn clocks alone.

I am personally good with that but the mommies don’t want 9:00am sunrise in December…

This whole argument is ridiculous.

The sun will come up when it's supposed to and set when it's supposed to. Jumping a clock up an hour or back an hour won't change it.

Mean solar time.

Whoever messed with that did not do us any service.

Why are you arguing it then? The sun will do what it does, but when we go to work relative to that sun is a political matter.

You mean like creating time zones so the trains could run on time and the people knew what time it was everywhere?

Cue jamil for GMT…

 

[DoggyDaddy]

All the clocks are changed. And just like that, it's almost beer-thirty!

 

[femurphy77]

Nah. I’m a counterexample. I hate HOA’s but I love having that extra hour of daylight after work. Also, I’m a morning person too. And I hate changing the clocks.

Why don't you go all in J man? Admit it, 1911's suck and -1 for Burger King!

The absolute worst idea ever…

So, if you want to mess with time, it's okay.

But, if it's someone else's idea, well that's the worst idea ever.

If we're going to mess with the time, I think we should go all in...

 

[actaeon277]

I think we should change the clocks so that sunrise is 10 PM.

You're RETIRED! Get right, man!

I hope I never have to live on the leading edge of a time zone. The middle of a zone has the most balance but I love my daylight in the evening. Being on the leading edge of CTZ would suck for so many of us. DD might be the only one that would like it.

 

[Ingomike]

Wish they would leave the clock be...I have always hated switching it.

What makes this such a dreaded chore? Takes about 15 minutes to change everything in the house…

Doggone right I would! Here it is 5:31 p.m. at the time of this writing and I'm already as buzzed as I would be at 6:31!

Hate HOAs +1
Morning person +1
Hate changing clocks +1
Love extra hour of daylight artificially created by keeping morning dark nnnt. -1

How do you square being a morning person with wanting mornings to be dark for as long as possible?

 

[BugI02]

I somehow doubt that the majority would want 9:00am sunrise in December and a 6:30 sunset. I wouldn’t care but I bet others do. The time change is to balance the daylight as best we can to the normal work day…

Yep, sunrise being at 7:48 tomorrow really seems to balance that work day

 

[snapping turtle]

I loved Hoosier standard time.

Indiana the land where time never changes should have been the state motto.

Less time than that actually.
