I hope everyone who wants to be on permanent DST experiences an eternity of the first day of spring forward, never rested again

    I honestly don’t care if we choose permanent standard time or DST. Either one would be better than having to switch twice a year. I’ll even propose a compromise: we can try one for a year, try the other for the next year, and see which one works better.

    Not doing either because we can’t agree on which one should be permanent seems like the worst option.

      We really should just move to permanent standard time, and judging by some of the opinions to the contrary that I’m seeing in this thread, everyone who hates that should either be given a dispensation to move their work shift and bed time back an hour or be placed on a psychiatric hold.

    Great, with scientific evidence backing this we are fucked for ever getting this changed. What we really need is a rising passively racist influencer to get behind the idea to get any support in 2026.

      “The Hyperborean Medical Association recommends an end to DST as Vril and testosterone are both depressed if noon isn’t at 12:00 on the equinox”

    Oh my state passed a law abolishing it but the federal government stopped it. You want to know why? You want to know the stupid reason why the federal government won’t abolish daylight savings? Because polling indicates that half of the people want it gone forever and everybody else wants it there forever.

    They literally can’t decide whether to always have the clock one way or the other, so we get to split the difference. I don’t fucking care. Just pick one and stick with it. Everybody has electric lights anyway, it’s the 21st century, we need to move on from this 1700s bullshit.

      Counterpoint: the people who want it there forever should just be told that’s what we’re doing, they’ll be back to licking windows before they realize the difference.

    I love daylight savings. I count the minutes until it returns. I think it should be permanent, for health reasons.

      People who know about that than you do say you’re wrong, and what’s more important, I say your opinion isn’t valid, so that’s pretty much putting it to bed there.
