Daylight Saving Time

[jamil]

I guess if you want to stretch it. Middle of the day is not really sunrise or sunset, but sure.

Not a stretch at all really. Starting the sunrise at a particular time in the cycle implies when solar noon happens. I could have made the same point I did by saying whatever is your preference for solar noon, because that implies sunrise and sunset.

All right.

Both sides, probably.

Any one liking DST, I immediately put on ignore.

My world just gets BETTER every single day.

Boycott!

 

[jamil]

We shall soon mourn the passing of the 2024 season of DST. Long live DST.

When the world was created by God, were we DST or EST? Whatever He created is what we should keep.

Timekeeping is a social construct.

Timekeeping is a social construct.

The original timekeeper is God.

I understand what you are saying. Was life better or worse prior to time manipulation?

Iife was definitely better before the internet, gps, space race, rock n roll, TV, ....I think just after telegraph and AM radio but without Telephones.....that would be perfect

“Time manipulation” was originally a construct of the railroads to keep trains moving on time so everyone knew when they would come and go. Without “time manipulation” we would have no way to know what time it is anywhere else. What plan would we have if everywhere set their own time?

 

[DoggyDaddy]

I for one am looking forward to getting my hour of daylight back that all you DST lovers took from me back in the spring.

Time is not manipulated by man. The keeping of time was created by men and tweaked here and there. God didn’t even give us a calendar. People used the seasons and celestial positioning to figure out patterns observed over time. God didn’t give us a clock. People used the sun’s position.

Was life better? Who gets to decide better? Man has invented all kinds of stuff to make life easier. We don’t have dig a hoke to **** anymore. I’d say life is better with modern plumbing. But that has nothing to do with time keeping.

Now about timekeeping’s impact on quality of life, my QoL is better when I have more daylight on the other side of my workday. How well that works for your QoL is not my concern.

Ask ATM.

 

[Ziggidy]

I stand corrected.

 

[Ziggidy]

Since it was an open question, everyone gets to decide. I was not looking for an answer, just an opinion.

I MUCH prefer the sun rising and setting earlier. So whatever camp that puts me in.
