Back on Standard Time

Before the introduction of daylight savings, people and companies were perfectly capable of adjusting the productive hours according to the sun - if they needed to.

Farmers who are usually (wrongly) used as an example were against the clock changes, because it really isn't relevant to them and only creates problems for their schedules with live stock.

The actual reason for the daylight saving was saving energy and coal. This is not an issue anymore, because the energy used for lighting is negligible today.

The only sane thing to do is to stop changing the clocks and then focus on making working schedules more flexible.

I work second shift... you're all crazy.

one day we will just stick with daylight time. its kind of a slap in the face to lose your only hour of sunlight after work!

I switched my work schedule one hour earlier starting tomorrow. I'm not sure it's going to work because I have family.

I'm staying up too late now. F standard time.

Good. I don't need light in the evening, I need it in the morning so I can wake up feeling rested. End DST; make standard time permanent.

I have a north-facing apartment, and the super-early sunset makes me sad.

based.

I wish they would do this a week ago, so the kids could experience halloween how it's supposed to be, IN THE FUCKING DARK

Sun: Ahh, I'm ready to go to bed, it's been a long day.

Daylight Savings Time: Stay up another hour because we base our schedules around businesses. Fuck your sleep cycle!

This fall has been the first year in my life where I feel used to the changes in the diurnal cycle, I'm 34 and live in (and always lived in) Sweden. Every year and seasonal change until this fall has always been "damn, it gets light/dark so early/late now, crazy how you never get used to this", but now it's like my body has finally been prepared for it, which has and continues to be weird in its own way.

Everyone here is having the same conversations that everyone always has, twice a year, since the start of changing the clocks.

These same exact conversations will be had again in six months and everyone will act like it's the first time. Again. And again. And agian

where do you live where the sun goes down at 4? its always ~6:45-7 at the earliest where I live iirc
