Daylight Savings Time returns this weekend!

1. Now to make it permanent. It's supposedly coming back up for vote.

I can wait for the extra evening light next week!

[True Dough]

15. Seconded!

Leave DST in place forever!

[BlueTsunami2018]

2. Ugh.

I hate dst. It serves no purpose and never should have been introduced in the first place.

[Salviati]

3. I appreciate the fact that sunrise doesn't happen at 4:15 am in the summer.

That's just too damn early.

But granted, moving the clocks ahead sucks every spring...

[Blues Heron]

5. I think it has a good purpose

when the sun rises earlier, why not take advantage of it and get out and get everything done earlier? Likewise, there is no earthly reason to do that before dawn when its in the single digits in January.

Its not just some random thing they cooked up to annoy people with!

That said Im not averse to trying it out year round again, why not? It sucked last time we tried it, but maybe people are better copers now, there is certainly more lighting than there was back in the day.

6. Right there with you

Fuck DST

[Raine]

18. Exactly my immediate reaction! 😒 nt

[Wounded Bear]

4. You say that like it's a good thing...

[wnylib]

9. It is, for me. Limited daylight in winter makes me SAD.

I always look forward to the increased
daylight of summer. The longer the days the better.

[Wounded Bear]

10. Fallacious argument, the actual number of hours of daylight is exactly the same,

they're just shifting the clock.

My choices would be:

1. Stop changing the time, stay on standard time all year.

2. Stop changing the time, if you force me to be on DST, OK I'll do it. But stop making me reset twice a year. Pick one.

[wnylib]

11. Not just a shifting of the clock.

There actually are more daylight hours in summer. DST just takes advantage of that so that our evenings remain light even longer according to the time on our clocks.

I love it when it is still light out when our clocks say that it's 9 pm.

7. Good I hope it stays that way. nt

[we can do it]

13. Me too.

[Different Drummer]

8. Personally, I'm looking forward to it.

[Laffy Kat]

12. For those of us working weekends....

[Auggie]

14. I actually like it

Helps define the seasons and the winter holidays

17. Did they change the dates? I remember it changing in early April when I was younger

[a kennedy]

19. Great, now I get to hear my husband swearing moving the time forward......

Ugh. It’s such a job for him. Two of the clocks are automatic, and the clocks on the stove and microwave are easy to change, but there’s one clock in our living room that is on a wall that he has to move the couch and lean over our tv to change the time. I’ve never heard some of the swear words he comes up with. Can’t wait until they make whatever time they choose permanent and he won’t have to go through this every year.

20. Ugh, I'd rather stay on regular time year round.

[Rhiannon12866]

21. Thank you for the reminder!

[Hermit-The-Prog]

22. The gravitational forces will destroy us when the sun leaps forward an hour.

Party hearty.
