Opine away !

I am very affected by DST. And jet lag. My body will just refuse to wake up for a week until 8AM instead of 7. Aargh.

I think it's one of the greatest ideas humans have ever had.

I wish they would just move the time 30 minutes and then leave it alone forever. No more one hour forward/back, just a one time half-hour change - simple and done.

The German word for contraceptive is “Schwangerschaftsverhütungsmittel”. By the time you finished saying that, it’s too late

I just spent less than 2 minutes changing my clocks. Now I get roughly 200 hours of extra daylight.

Posted earlier. I want negative DST from May 1 to Sept 30. I hate it being 95 degrees at 9pm!

Meh, doesn't matter to me one way or the other. I've always been good at adapting.

We adapt without issue.

But it's stupid to play with time, which is ALL we're doing now since the original reason for its use has long since been irrelevant apart from whatever lobbyists are helping keep it around.

Impacts me negatively personally and professionally. It’s ridiculous in 2020.

I want clocks to be adjusted so that Sunrise is 5:30 AM every day. It would be better for our internal circadian rhythm.

Leave it as one or the other.

I don't mind over all - I HATE losing an hour in the spring, but love it when the sun is setting so late in the day. I'm used to it - it's fine.

I only have one clock that needs manual adjustment, but it's a BITCH to do and I often let it go for a week or two.

No biggie for me. I think our cars and maybe a couple wall clocks are all that need manual adjusting. And the cars have a convenient "DST on/off" toggle.

But I love this classic:



If you're not familiar with this, the author was joking.

I don't love it or hate it. Just pick one AND STICK WITH IT!!!

Love the extra daylight after work.
I also love the extra hour of sleep in the fall.

I am that Masked Man.

All you can do, is all you can do.

There’s trouble — it's time to play the sound of my people.

Your boos mean nothing to me, I've seen what you cheer for.

Insisting on your rights without acknowledging your responsibilities isn’t freedom, it’s adolescence.

I've been to the edge of the map, and there be monsters.

We are a government of laws, not men.

Everybody counts or nobody counts.

When a good man is hurt,
all who would be called good
must suffer with him.

You and I have memories longer than the road that stretches out ahead.

There is no safety for honest men except
by believing all possible evil of evil men.

We don’t do focus groups. They just ensure that you don’t offend anyone, and produce bland inoffensive products. —Sir Jonathan Ive

An armed society is a polite society.
And hope is a lousy defense.

You make me pull, I'll put you down.

I *love* SIGs. It's Glocks I hate.

How is this still a thing?

I'm against Daylight Saving Time being made the standard, and now I have scientific reasons to support Standard Time.

Roenneberg and Northwestern's Zee are co-authors of a recent position statement advocating returning to standard time for good, written for the Society for Research on Biological Rhythms.

"If we want to improve human health, we should not fight against our body clock, and therefore we should abandon daylight saving time," the statement says.

Messing with the body’s relationship to the sun can negatively affect not only sleep but also cardiac function, weight and cancer risk, the society’s members wrote. According to one often-quoted study on different health outcomes within the same time zones, each 20 minutes of later sunrise corresponded to an increase in certain cancers by 4 percent to 12 percent.

Daylight Savings Time is just another example of man's arrogant attitude whre he thinks he can control Nature, or in this case speed up or slow down the earth's rotation by one hour twice a year. There are still a lot of people in the world who think they're "morning people" or "late night people" who haven't figured out they can shift their schedules to become like just about everyone else. Got a friend like that who can't get up before the crack of Noon but stays up until 2 or 3am every night. Places a real burden on her co-workers who can't schedule early morning work meetings because of her.

Just pick one and leave it alone.

Make it TWO hours and keep it the whole year. I don't care if it is light at 5AM but it had damn well better be light at 5PM!!
