DST is the better time. It shouldn't be dark at 4:30pm.
Your daylight exposure is reserved to your coporate overlords.
Absolutely. I can't take my kids to the skatepark after school, or play disc golf after work, or do much outside of the weekend for the next 4 months, and that sucks.
It’s dark early because it’s winter. DST sucks in summer, we should move the clock an hour backwards in summer, not forwards.
Why not? Don't live at a high latitude if you don't like how the sun works. There shouldn't be daylight at 10:00 in the summer, which is one of the many reasons why DST sucks.
DST is so much better. For so many reasons.
You don't need it to be light outside for another hour while you sit on your ass in the house eating junk food and getting left on read like 99% of Americans do irrespective of what color the sky is. I'd rather send commuters and schoolchildren out in the morning when the sun is already up, and then enjoy after-work activities with lower temperatures and less cancer-causing ultraviolet, reducing demand for sunscreens (and plastic/metal waste) and lowering the incidence of morning traffic collisions.
Some people actually enjoy life outdoors in the daylight. Jfc. Lol.
Putting the cart before the horse means you don't get anywhere.
A dove in the hand is worth two in the bush.
“I’d rather send people to be inside at times when it’s daylight rather than allowing them to be outside when it’s daylight”. What a brain dead take. Commuters already commute in the dark in the mornings, no matter if it’s summer or winter. Whereas people across the planet spend time outside after work or school, and having it be daylight at that time is so much better.
I'm going to do you a favor and assume you're deliberately misinterpreting me to be an ass, instead the alternative, which is that you actually think this. If so I recommend you go to a neurologist so you can get in medical journals like the other guy with 90% brain loss.
Woowee what an insult. You’re the one that said it dude, not me. If you didn’t mean it then clarify your words, because it’s pretty much exactly what you said.
The night interpretation is the one I wrote, be attentive.
And the fall switch is easy...
In WW2, the UK ran on double DST. +2 in the summer, +1 in the winter.
+1 is better all round.
Invalid opinion. Who cares what the UK did with their clocks during the war? What bearing would that have on anything?
Not op but I found it interesting.
What's with the NSFW tag and the weird title?
