It would still be sunny at 7pm without DST.

Not really... usually in Winter by 5PM there's barely any Sun where I live...

I know that, I was talking about summer. The sun would still be out at 7pm even without moving the clocks up an hour.

I honestly don't even mind DST that much. Most devices change the time automatically anyways =P



As a guy that lived without DST, it doesn't bother me. I don't really get if there's even a benefit from it, but it isn't a big deal.



Bet with bluedawgs: I say Switch will outsell PS4 in 2018, he says PS4 will outsell Switch. He's now permabanned, but the bet will remain in my sig.

Why don't we make DST the standard if everyone prefers it?

Well, I prefer the original time, so I guess not everyone prefers it.

It's such a bother to change clocks twice a year. Luckily most of them do it automatically.
I'm tired of having to walk all the way to the bathroom too, I should go back to wearing diapers. And don't get me started on breathing oxygen......

DST was started for the German steel industry in WW1, it's an obsolete relic.

Breathing and relieving one's self are necessary for survival. Daylight's Saving Time is some bizarre decision to change the clocks that people mainly use for the sake of tradition/being used to doing it.



As somebody that has to deal with a bunch of grumpy teenagers every daylight savings.... yeah, let's get rid of it. I hate those weeks when they are trying to readjust their sleep schedules...

Did you know a lot of people actually get health problems from changing the clocks? It's not changing the clocks that's the problem, really, it's the effects of messing up with their sleep schedule. I'm pretty sure changing clocks also lowers productivity at work because of how people react to it.

Personally I'm mainly annoyed by having one night where I get to sleep an hour less than I'd normally sleep, but for a lot of people, it's a real issue.
