    Every time I see a meme like this, I freak out a little bit because I wonder if it’s happening soon

    I’ve been an adult through 20+ changes of the clock, and I still will not know when it’s time to change them until 3 days before

        Yeah 3 days before? I only found out it was DST this weekend just gone because I happened to still be up.

        Me: man it’s almost 2am, I should go to bed
        DST: lol 3am

      Perhaps the only good thing about living in Arizona is that I don’t have to deal with daylight savings time. We have too much daylight here as it is

      To be fair: If you live in the south, it doesn’t make much sense, but if you live a bit further north it’s the difference between getting up when the sun is a a reasonable place, or getting up in the middle of the night (winter) or the middle of the day (summer). I want it to be light out when I’m awake, not when it’s sleeping time.

      Turns out it’s easier to adjust the clock than to say “work starts at 9 in the winter and at 8 in the summer”

        I don’t want it to be dark so early. Living in the north, even with the extra morning hour in winter I still have to wake up in darkness. What’s the use of it?

    Just push the whole world time 30mins into the past/future and abolish it completely. No need for that stupid shit.

        Meanwhile, I have to take Vitamin D supplements during winter because I’m up in the dark, working inside during the sunlight hours, and knock off just in time for the sun to disappear and take the dog for a run on a sport field under flood lights.

        But let’s save an hour of sunlight in summer months so dinner can feel like second lunch and we have to block out the windows to start feeling sleepy in the evening to prepare for bed.

        Fuck the circadium rythm! /s

    Did daylight savings just start somewhere in the world or is this meme completely out of season?

    Daylight saving is supposed to save a huge amount of energy, and I am all for that…, but could we maybe still not do it?.. Maybe just hibernate for the winter…, save loads more energy and, yes, solved it … and…sleep 😁
