I'm surprised it took this long for someone to start whining about the time change this weekend.

People who bleed all over the internet about the change every time it comes up are the worst.

Would probably be great for TX but not everywhere.

Just to note, i am on your side in this argument.

I have bigger issues to be concerned about like $200+ per mo. escrow deficiency.

I'm fine leaving it in the Spring Forward time, definitely against a permanent Fall Back time.

I agree. Getting dark at 4 makes days barely usable when accounting for work schedules. Id rather get ready in the morning while it's barely light out over being depressed by so much darkness later in the day. Especially when it's cloudy and snowing.

Screw the "muh children in the morning" argument. Today's kids have turned into cave-dwelling hobbits with their heads permanently facing down to stare at their iphone. ipad, switch, whatnot 24x7, and spend most of their waking hours at home in the dark staring at these devices regardless of how much light there is in the morning or evening.
Or just keep the time set and let schools change the start/end time as needed. Sunrise/set time in North Dakota is a bit different than South Texas. Just let those locales set what is important to them without impacting everyone else.

Senate voted 100% to end this crap a few years ago, and then it died in the House. When people started asking folks in both the Senate and the House about it, they acted incredibly awkward and dismissive about the whole thing. Was super bizarre. Anyone know any details on wtf was going on, because for a moment there I was really excited.

Yeah, f*** daylight after work. More time for golf, fishing, etc., sucks!

I am on the eastern edge of the Central Time Zone (FL/AL line) and the sun is going down around 5:15ish right now and we have another 45 days or so to Winter Solstice. Because of where I live relative to sundown in the time zone, I kind of like the time change.

I'd prefer Daylight time, but IDGAF - pick one and stay there.

You know who else liked Standard Time?

Hitler.

You want to be like Hitler?


At least the trains ran on (standard) time!

I love the idiots who don't quite understand that there's the same amount of daylight no matter how the clocks are set.

Why don't we just shift the time by 30 minutes -- in between Daylight Savings and Standard Time -- and call it 'Murica Time!

sorry to divert you from your "Hitler Trump" or "KKKommunist Kamala" shouting matches....

But it is time for the Forum 16 Semi-Annual Time Change *****fest.


I'll get mine out of the way first.

Make Daylight Savings Time the permanent and sole standard time.

Screw the "muh children in the morning" argument. Today's kids have turned into cave-dwelling hobbits with their heads permanently facing down to stare at their iphone. ipad, switch, whatnot 24x7, and spend most of their waking hours at home in the dark staring at these devices regardless of how much light there is in the morning or evening.

and... go.




Set your clocks back Sunday morning 2am.
lol, and screw the "adults have an extra hour to do things after work" argument. They can post on message boards, watch sports on tv, stare at their iPhone, iPad, etc. sitting inside the house whether it is dark outside or light.

And you can set the clocks back when you go to bed Saturday night. No need to wait up until 2am Sunday morning.

I love the idiots who don't quite understand that schedules are often set, but not around the "same about of daylight."

Nice try though. Idiot.

Clearly, after all of this debate with nothing ever coming of it other than angry people, we need to switch to one time zone for the entire country. It works for China, and it might shut people up here who don't like the current system, but only as long as there's no change twice a year.

I'd prefer year round Daylight Savings, but in the grand scheme of thing its really not a big deal that it changes twice a year.

of all the things to get stressed out over, this is towards the bottom.

OP needs some pot. everywhere.

Us idiots that have to work normal business hours like the extra hour of daylight in the evening. More daylight in the early morning is irrelevant if I'm at work.

The funny thing is that this was tried in the 1970s and people hated it.

I'd much rather see local time used. Eliminate time zones completely. Make it noon when the sun is at its zenith at your location.

Exactly. Sounds like we need to start work an hour earlier once the time changes. Since most everyone has set work schedules, it should be easy to implement, no? And then we won't be idiots anymore.

In Arizona we're standard time year round. I'll have to remember college games kick off at 10AM starting next week instead of 9AM.

It should be noted that states can opt out of daylight savings time and switch to standard time year around.

The only two that do, I think, are Arizona (except for the Navajo Nation) and Hawaii.

LOL, You're not an idiot. I'm talking about people who think that daylight savings time actually INCREASES the total amount of daylight. Yes, they exist.
