We had a vote but it was essentially deliberately ruined from the get go. Instead of yes or no, it was permanent summer time, permanent winter time, or keep daylight savings so the people wanting permanent time split their vote and lost.

Who are the chucklefucks that want it to get dark at 4:30PM for half the year?

Plenty of people would prefer the extra daylight in the mornings rather than the evenings. I’m personally in favour of summer time all the time

TheGreenGolem ,

And I personally don’t give a shit, just please stop fucking with the clock.
Let’s have a vote, simple majority wins, done.

It’s simple, our bodies are made for standard time and deal with permanent standard time much better than permanent daylight saving time.

“They downvoted Kecessa, because he told them the truth”

(Seriously guys, there is actual science about when we should get up. And with our current socially accepted timings (when we have to show up to work, when school starts) standard time is just better for our bodies than shifted standard time. If you want to wake up early, just do some chores in the morning, but most people would prefer work to start later.)

This is the crux of the issue. An overwhelming majority of people support not changing the clocks anymore. But we can’t reach a consensus on which to stick with. Personally, I think Arizona did it right.

Kecessa ,

Simple, split the difference, if India can deal with international commerce while being half an hour off compared to everyone else, I’m sure other countries can too.

Chronobiologists. The people who actually study how time impacts our well being and health.

The American public. It was tried once already and winter with DST is way worse than summer with standard time.

Everyone who hates how early they have to get up for work. Standard time lets you sleep longer. (It’s hard to think about, but it’s true!)

And it’s nice to know that the sun is actually at its highest at noon and its lowest at midnight. Seems weird to me to decide that 13:00 is when the sun is highest…
