I dream of a life where noon is noon and we worked fewer hours so we could just get off earlier and hav plenty of daylight before and after work kn the summer.
Like if working hours were 9 to 3 it would be even better than DST in the summer!
I’ve worked both day and night shifts. My experience with day shift is 90% of the people working it aren’t awake until 9-10am anyway. Pre shift time is “work” adjacent time.
Evenings, on the other hand, are the best. Having a day that lasts into 830-10pm is glorious.
I would love DST permanent, but I understand that it’s not great mentally for school kids to get up and go to school in the dark. I would sacrifice that for the next generation to have a better experience.
In what way? Healthiness of a time standardization seems like it would be hard to validate. I personally prefer DST I’ve never considered either healthier or unhealthier. I remember hearing statistics about an abnormal number of car accidents and stuff happening the Monday after DST/ST changes. I’ve also heard some rhetoric about risk of car accidents with kids walking to bus or school being mitigated by standard time.
I’m assuming you mean something less acute than those which are focused on immediate outcomes like death lol? The only thing health related I can think of is daylight exposure and vitamin d levels, but it seems inconsistent whether people are more likely to take advantage of extra morning sunlight or evening sunlight. Seems like it would be a wash?
Anyway, I’m legitimately interested to know what you mean by “healthy”
Did you actually read the link? The study basically attributes all of the negative effects to the change and not specifically standard time or daylight saving time, so I think what that means is DST is no more or less good for people than standard time. The switching is the part that is harmful.
I’m in an area that would benefit greatly from permanent DST. But permanent DST absolutely hoses those in the western parts of time zones in the winter.
Just don’t change your clocks and go by whatever time you want. Don’t be a dst conformist, fight the man, light your neighbors house on fire, the possibilities are endless when you stop caring
It is a common myth in the United States that DST was first implemented for the benefit of farmers. In reality, farmers have been one of the strongest lobbying groups against DST since it was first implemented. The factors that influence farming schedules, such as morning dew and dairy cattle’s readiness to be milked, are ultimately dictated by the sun, so the clock change introduces unnecessary challenges.
Been there, done that. Cows absolutely hate DST, as do most livestock, but cows are the worst. And your complete schedule needs to change and it takes months to acclimatize to the new schedule.
“The first iteration of Daylight Saving Time was officially implemented two years into the First World War in Germany. After Germany established this practice, almost every other country that fought in the war followed suit, including Canada, the United States and much of Europe.”
Daylight savings is the summer and so society could revolve around banking hours by shifting sunrise closer to when the banks open. It has nothing to do with farmers, as they just starting work when the sun is up.
I don’t know why we ever “fall back”. I dream of a life in which we “spring forward” and stag there forever.

I love working third shift because it’s my choice whether i want morning daylight to myself OR afternoon daylight.
LOL dream on.
We should stay on standard time. DST is fucking dumb
If we stay on permanent DST you get to go to work and school in the dark.
Split the two and make half way between dst and st permanent.
Getting there in the dark sounds just fine. I want sunlight during more of my personal hours.
And on standard you come home in the dark. I’m doing more after work than before.
Yes, exactly. With standard time I go to work in the dark and come home to am hour of daylight. I’d love for that to be two hours.

But really we should start school later.
No, you’re only looking at one half of the argument.
The other half is that permanent Standard time is healthier for us.

I did read the link and
wonder if you read itknow you didn’t read past the first few lines.Also, this is literally everywhere. Go Google it. Ciao.

Unfortunately I need to eat which requires showing up to a workplace, or at least logging in, at specific times.
Just rob a Walmart, if you get caught you go to jail where they feed you for free AND you don’t have to block in anymore, win win
Just spring forward 30 minutes and leave it there forever
Ew no I hate daylight savings time, I’m glad it’s finally normal again
Because of like farmers 100 years ago apparently
Actually, not in the slightest:
Been there, done that. Cows absolutely hate DST, as do most livestock, but cows are the worst. And your complete schedule needs to change and it takes months to acclimatize to the new schedule.
It was started during WWI to increase production.
“The first iteration of Daylight Saving Time was officially implemented two years into the First World War in Germany. After Germany established this practice, almost every other country that fought in the war followed suit, including Canada, the United States and much of Europe.”
Nope! Mostly golfers. Farmers never cared for DST.
