I hope everyone who wants to be on permanent DST experiences an eternity of the first day of spring forward, never rested again
Some traditions are simply stupid and should be discarded.
This is one example.
My friends dad died of a heart attack like 2 days we sprang forward for daylight savings time. Apparently there is a statistical correlation with increased heart attacks during this time likely due to the lost hour of sleep. I’m sure he would have eventually died of a heart attack because of his lifestyle, but I’m quite convinced it was a part of what caused it to happen on that day.
You know they understand parents. Also it messes with my sleep
leaving work at dark is the real thing negatively effecting my health.
So go in earlier
Who makes money off of Daylight Savings Time?
I don’t know, but I know someone is making a fortune off of it somehow and I want to know who. It’s the only explanation
The real question is, how can the rich make money off of changing this? As soon as someone figures that out, I’m sure it will change.
Whoever has a business full of hourly employees that are working during 1-3am and lose an hour of pay.
ughh, I lost an hour of pay working as a security guard to this kind of thinking a while back.
“Oh, we’ll just make up for it in 6 months.”
Fuck that. Keep daylight savings time and end standard time. I like my daylight when I can actually use it; after work.
“I know better than the AMA because I want to spend an hour of sunlight driving home with this sun in my eyes and then sitting on my couch getting left on read”
Making everyone wake up an hour earlier is abusive
We’re in daylight savings time now, let’s just stay there. That way no one’s schedule has to change again.
AMA…Ask Maria Anything, right?
Well that was a non article.
Committing to standard time has health benefits and allows us to end the biannual tug of war between our biological and alarm clocks,” said AMA Trustee Alexander Ding, M.D., M.A, MBA.
So are they saying committing to standard time, or simply committing to a single time?
If they are saying Standard is better that Daylight Savings, then they are complete morons. And it isnt because I like one over the other. The fact is IT DOESNT FUCKING MATTER. Just pick one.
Daylight is constantly changing, depending on what latitude you are in. In the northern hemisphere millions of people will gain over an hour of daylight this month alone. Your rhythms are effected by people fucking with the clock, and that is it.
Standard is better than advanced, which is better than switching.
Who could be for keeping that around?
some people (not me) complain about the sun going down at 4pm.
People in the Nordic countries have it way worse. There’s no excuse.
It’s not like it’s the same time for waking up, going to bed, or shops opening for everyone across the world.
If you still need a heads-up about when things are happening when you travel, we may as well just make time UTC globally.
Sune goes down at 4pm? Just wake up and go to work early.Me, I do - but I also don’t think we should switch back and forth; just keep DST. Who the fuck cares if it’s dark at 5:30am, we are meant to be asleep at that time
There’s a lot of things that I don’t like about Arizona but the abolishment of moving to and from DST has been such a great thing to have.
Today has been the absolute worst. Daylight savings shift coinciding with my job becoming absolute trash and my idiotic self doing a Sunday funday yesterday.
It’s pretty obvious the American government doesn’t care about its citizens health. Sick citizens = more shareholder profits for their scam corporations
It screws corporations as well, anyone that has a database or deals with time in any way. I’d call it a huge hazard technilogically to willy nilly change the time for no reason.
We have been changing the time for 70+ years. Nothing about it is Willy nilly. There is a reason. The reason may invalid at this point.
This same bullshit could be said about jetlag simply moving to a different time zone has worse effects than a single hour shift, yet many people do it 10s if not hundreds of times a year.
It’s so stupid to argue about this whole thing from a health perspective and using that as if its some kind of disease.
So stupid
If there were two days a year that 300 million people took a flight that gave them all jetlag simultaneously, you’d probably tell them to stop though, right?
I have no idea what you mean.
Who is telling who to stop what?
God yes. I don’t even care which side of DST we land on. As long as we stop changing the damn clock.
Yeah i’m not trusting American anything at this moment.
Guilt by association is how children think
Try harder.
We should just turn our clocks back to 2019.
The good old days, when the fire hose would occasionally turn off and we could breathe and participate in folksy traditions like complaining about the clocks.
