Original idea was good when countries and society were not so interdependent and connected, in this day and age it's stupid.
we should repeal this horrendous event.

It's stupid and annoying and not needed since the days get shorter in the winter and longer in the summer ON THEIR OWN without us pushing it more. So now it's like.
November - "Get inside kids, it's 4PM and pitch black out there!"
July - "WHY IS THE SUN STILL OUT AT 8PM? HAVE WE NOT HAD ENOUGH HEAT?!!"
Seriously, I've had years where the sun wouldn't sully set until almost 9pm. That's insane.

And sunrise is an hour later.
I would rather have the light in the morning than the evening.
Why? You'll be in bed.
There's nothing worse than leaving work and seeing it's dark outside.

Maybe you will, but I won't.
There's just as good a chance of me being in for the day before 7PM.

Except waking up and it is cold and dark when you're in the shower.
Why? What do you need light for in the morning?

The same thing someone else would need it for in the evening.
Good thing I take my showers indoors then.

I dig the longer days in the spring and summer.

I hate daylight savings! My son is cranky because he had to wake up early, I have to get him used to this all over again. Damn it farmers
Da fuck is this? Some of us wake up early for work and things, you are infinitely less tired if you get to wake up to sunlight as opposed to pitch black.

What's with people mentioning farmers? Do you think he or she has to punch in at the barn before 0600?

I have severe sleep/wake cycle issues and DS always fucks with it. Fuck you daylight savings time!

You're kidding right? Getting up to feed the livestock at 4am is not unheard of at all. Not to mention dairy farmers who have to milk the herd two or three times a day.
Okay, step one, change it to "Daylight Savings Time." Step two, abolish Daylight Savings Time.
I am a benevolent ruler.
Yes farmers go up crazy early because that's when the sun rises and when the livestock wakes up etc, not because he has to clock in at work at some arbitrary hour that magically changes by moving the clock forward. Daylight saving is just a major nuisance for farmers, and they're its biggest opponents so stop blaming them for it

Can we all just agree that changing the clock during winter and spawn eternal darkness sucks, and that we should never do it again?

First, the government steals our money through taxes. Then, they steal our time through Daylight Savings. The tyranny never ends.

So glad I live in Arizona. No switching clocks nonsense.
I love it when mornings at around 7:30 and 8:00 am can still be dark outside.
Glad to see that CGP Grey was posted.

Today is probably the happiest I've been all year long. It's been a pretty shitty year for me but the sun still being out at 7:30 had me smiling all day long.

You just have to adjust to the fact that most everyone else in the US did.

I got a better idea. Put it in reverse. an extra hour of daylight in winter and one less in summer. That would actually help with heating/colling bills.
Someone post that picture we're all thinking of.

But I actually want to be outside in the spring/summer. The more daylight after work the better.
I like it where it's at now. Wish we never have to turn the clocks back.
I lose it on the front end. Saturday night/Sunday morning is basically no different. Go to bed when I go to bed, get up when I get up. Sunday night/Monday morning poses a problem, though. I can't will myself to bed at 10:30 as it still feels like 9:30, so I end up going to bed at 11:30 and lose an hour of sleep.

Doesn't read OPs, especially not his own
Animals know fuckall about DST. One of our cats come in at ~6:30PM for dinner, now it's suddenly 7:30. Our newborn doesn't know the time, now all schedules we've worked on her is fucked up and we're exhausted. The world at large doesn't do DST, so if you work w/ international customers suddenly all your schedules have been fucked. I'm also not fond of light at 9PM, nor am I happy with 7AM suddenly being pitch black again.
