Can you first stop putting Mary Poppins letters beside the time that mean something arcane ???
This is, in large part, due to the shortening of the length of days.
Akshually days still remain 24 hours a piece
You do realize I’m talking about daylight hours, right? The word “day” can refer both to the period from sunrise to sunset, and to a 24 hour period. I was using it, rather obviously, to refer to the period from sunrise to sunset.
I thought me spelling “actually” like that made it obvious I was japing…
Same when going on vacation to a place around the equator. I live in Europe so peak summer the sun doesn’t set until eleven. Then when you travel to the tropics. Sunsets “Damn it’s already that late, i haven’t had dinner yet” looks at watch “WTF it’s still six o’clock”
NW Florida here, latest sunset is 7:55PM. Today it’s at 4:58PM. :( Living in Chicago I saw sunsets around 8:30 in the summer.
Same. This messed with my head so much the first time it happened.
Those long summer evenings though…👌
Please stop changing time. STAHP. It takes serious effort for me to remain on a decent sleep schedule and everytime we switch it just fucks my shit up for a week or more. I hate it so much
I hear you. Even with “fall back”, I will go to sleep at the new time, but will wake up an hour before my alarm, effectively loosing an hour of sleep every night. I’m a mess after a week until my body adjusts again.
Technically, this is daylight savings time ending, so this is changing the clock back to the normal time zone. But yes, they should probably stop it
Best thing about arizona.
Hah ha yeah 5pm, definitely not 3pm. Who needs more than 6 hours of sunlight anyways.
You still get the same amount of sunlight regardless of what the funny time piece says, it’s just a matter of what’s considered acceptable times. I feel like you’d cause less overall issues if we just changed open hours as needed so as to match with daylight instead of the current nonsense.
Uhhh no? Theres literally less daylight during winter the more northern or southern you get? Thats literally how sunlight works? During the shortest days of winter i get about six hours of daylight over here which is just not enough for me personally. I know the natives here dont have a problem with it but im not from here. Probably where im from most people would still find winters dark but thats what i grew up with. As for dst, it doesnt matter in most of the world but in the north it is nice to wake up with sunlight and spend your first few hours in it but i think we should just adjust when work starts, instead of the clocks.
Oh I get what you mean now. Misunderstanding due to being surrounded by idiots, I’ve legit heard folks say that DST gives us more daylight like it’s some type of ritual to appease Sol Invictus. But yeah better to adjust work hours since that can be done in increments and doesn’t fuck everyone up.
Ahh, others also seemed to have misinterpreted my comment, i didnt understand why i got downvoted for not liking short days lol
Norra Norrland in January is lit - no wait, the opposite of lit, but in a good way.
This but with excitement.
Around the equator, there’s no daylight saving time. It’s also dark every day year round at 6 pm. The only way to prevent early darkness is to go live in the Southern Hemisphere for winter.
Idk, i think 12h of daylight every day would be nice…we hit something like 7h of daylight where I live during winter. And we don’t even have snow or anything to make it nice, we just have a gray wet depressing mess of winters.
Haha, weaklings. I love the winter and setting the clock this way or that way has never bothered me.
I bet you drink coffee before bed, you charlatan!
Oh yes and add to that a fucked sleep pattern for at least a week.
I really hope this nonsense ends some day. I don’t even care if it’s summer or wintertime just stop switching.
They always try to keep the summer time, and everyone is happy until winter, when people get so upset at waking before dawn they inevitably return to the daylight savings system
It does have to be permanent winter time, this has been studied and has clear results
My sleep has been amazing since the switch. Go to bed tired because it feels like I stayed up an extra hour, wake up an hour early because my biological clock thinks it’s time to get up and then get to chill and take my time getting ready in the morning. It’s nice. The spring one on the other hand…
This ^^^
The EU were well on the way to agreeing to stop this nonsense, then it got delayed, Brexit happened (so whether it would still have happened in the UK is anybody’s guess), and COVID hit. I don’t think it has been mentioned since.
I was so excited for that change to rock in. Fucking Brexit. :(
it has nothing to do with brexit.
the eu somehow unilaterally decided to do it and stop the time switching - that has been agreed on. and now the only thing that is left is for 27 countries to agree on which time to keep… 😂
which will never happen and i am glad for that. i like these long summer evenings where you can do stuff and that is what would probably be canceled.
doing it otherwise and keeping the summer time for all year would mean that the daylight in winter would start at 9am, contrary to today’s 8am, which would be terrible for out biorhytms (or so do biologists specializing in this area say)
The evening stays. Daylight savings time does not change the amount of daylight
The evening stays. Daylight savings time does not change the amount of daylight
daylight savings time does not change the amount of daylight, but it does change when the evening is, that is its whole purpose.
But it’s just an arbitrary number
CST?
It’s weird because the day before we turned the clocks back, 5:27 p.m. was not that dark. Next day, 5:27 p.m. is dark as midnight, yup this comic is accurate.
Yeah. Imagin go to work at the sunrise and go home when the sun is already set. Yuppy!!!
Nah. It’s 7.55. AM or PM, no difference. Welcome to Finland, the land of depression and suicide.
Finland has been #1 on the happiness rankings for a long time.
All the unhappy people kill themselves.
Sounds perfect.
Yeah, was gonna say, 17.27 it’s been long dark in southern Scandinavia
Yeah, currently the day light time is 8 hours 28 mins where I live. And it’s getting shorter still for quite some time.
For almost two more months, and 2min less sunlight/day. Ugh.
At least the oil money trickles down to the people, unlike in murrikuhh.
Nah, that’s Norway.
Western Australia got rid of daylight savings years ago and it’s literally gone unnoticed. Only reason I remember it’s a thing is the memes, or if I have to do something involving eastern states and they’re either 2 or 3 hours again depending on time of year.
People love to complain. Do you really want to rid them of an opportunity just like this?
The night time is the right time
