this took me one hour please kill me
@7331 @[email protected] one of my ancestors was one of the original proponents of dst in the UK 👀

@skye @asahi95 @7331 I can only imagine a few things in family history one could be more ashamed of...

Sadly I do know those...

@7331 @asahi95 the most annoying are those who want year round DST.
@yaygya @7331 @asahi95 honestly I don’t care where we put the clock just stop moving it please.
@7331 @asahi95 It's fine, you'll get that hour back in six months
@curubethion @7331 @asahi95
But #NaNoWriMo is going on now! I get one less hour of writing time! ;)

@7331 @asahi95

Instead of getting rid of DST US politicos keep trying to make it PERMANENT.
Do Not Want.

@7331 you've doubled the damage of DST
@7331
Stop doing timezones in the first place, time was not meant to be (and is not) tied to position
@skyflare @7331 local solar time for everyone!

@7331 @asahi95 If you did it in the hour right before switching the timezone to winter time, you would have made it in zero hours.
@7331 @asahi95 the only fun thing about DST is the 0h game jam where you have to make a game between 2am and 2am during the day the time changes before winter
@7331 @asahi95 I live in Russia and we really don't turn the clock back/forth an hour btw. idk if it's nice or not so much, sunset/sunrise season time difference is still a thing

@wonderfox
> idk if it's nice or not so much, sunset/sunrise season time difference is still a thing
Yes, exactly! You can play with your clock however you want but it won't make a winter day any longer.

@7331 @asahi95 I think you have failed to consider DST’s importance to the 4 and a half trains that still exist (very North American of me, I know, but I’m also being 100% sarcastic because trains don’t give a shit what time it is and it’s no longer 1876)
@7331 @asahi95 Universal adoption of UTC FTW!

Attached: 1 image I hate this. I hate the GMT+5 slice most of all. Not that Siberia is great either. +3, +5, +7, +9. If you have a half hour time zone, you failed. Prepare to be recolonized.

@7331 hey @foxhkron someone actually did it
@7331 @asahi95 heart attacks and driving deaths go up
@7331 @[email protected] but if you did it during the hour that the clocks were set back technically it took you no time at all :p
@7331 @asahi95 Just stop doing DST and enjoy bringing your kids to school (or commuting to work) when it's still night in winter, or waste one hour of daylight in summer, whichever you prefer (if you live between ~45°N and 45°S – if you live beyond, that doesn't affect you much).
Oh, and about that +6% of suicide rates on that day: that's +0.016% in one year, to be compared with the benefits of increased sunlight over the year, _lowering_ suicide rates.
@7331 @asahi95 written by a person whose children haven’t woken them up at 5:30am…..
@7331 @asahi95 if you set your clock back in the fall, but refuse to set it forward in spring, you can extend your life by several days over the course of a typical life span.

Thankfully we don't do it any more. Except we did change timezones twice while I was working on one very popular android app and gosh was it a mess. Instead of picking a timezone with the correct offset, people would change the absolute time on their devices so that the wrong timezone and the wrong time would cancel each other out and display "correctly". Except it messes up all time calculations so you post something and it says "1 hour ago". I had to compare the local time with server time, infer which timezone the user actually meant, and use that everywhere throughout the app.

I don't miss this.

In fact, Daylight Savings Time is the final proof of the existence of the TIME CUBE, which our Masters have tried to keep from us!

Time Cube

Time Cube was an incomprehensible "hypothesis", created by Gene Ray around 1997, that claims time is cubic. Interpretations vary, but the core appears to have had something to do with the earth passing through four simultaneous days in the course of 24 hours.

@7331 @asahi95 what do you mean ‘stop doing dst?’ dont starve together’s fun.
Volpeon :drgn_nom_blob: (@volpeon)

@[email protected] STOP DOING DST - Time was not supposed to be different depending on the season - YEARS OF CHANGING THE CLOCK FORWARD AND BACKWARD yet NO REAL-WORLD USE FOUND apart from being a PAIN IN THE ASS - Wanted to get up an hour earlier anyway for a laugh? We had a tool for that: It was called "CHANGING YOUR ALARM" - "Yes please change the time ARBITRARILY. Please rob me of an hour of sleep for no reason" - Statements dreamed up by the utterly deranged LOOK at what governments have been demanding your respect for all this time. (This is REAL DST, perpetuated by REAL people): [Attachment 1] ???? [Attachment 2] ??????? [Attachment 3] ???????????????? "Hello I would like 🕒→🕑 apples please" They have played us for absolute fools 📎 (3)

@7331 @asahi95 Did it take you one hour or did it take one hour from you? 🙃

@7331 @asahi95

funny how some people get so annoyed by just "1 hour". There were years where I didn't even realize that the time changed ...

@7331 @asahi95 Don't worry about the hour, you'll get it back.
@7331 @asahi95 ok this is the second time I've seen this meme used seriously

@7331

Sweden introduced DST in 1980, and as a 15 year old, I protested it a lot, including lengthy article in the magazine I was publishing at the time. Not a single shill (read, teachers) could give a reasonable answer to why it should be introduced. Common attempts;

1. "Extra hour daylight in the evening", in Sweden the sun sets at 11pm in the summer. Give me an extra hour in the winter.

2. "Everyone else uses it". No, plus the day it is introduced also varies across the world.

@asahi95

@7331 @asahi95 all true I fucking hate daylight savings time
@7331 @[email protected] should've done this right during a dst hour, it would've taken you 0 hours

@BigFoxBoss ох, этот парень.

Не, я впечатлительный ипохондрик с тяжелой депрессией, мне такое нельзя смотреть, особенно сейчас, осенью.

@7331 @asahi95

@drq
Да, он самый.

Его видосы не для ипохондриков, это точно.

DST конечно вмешивается в циркадные ритмы. Помню что когда DST было, весенняя смена на час вперед особенно мешалась: меньше дел успевается за день и потом еще и заснуть сложнее, а с зимней хоть и на час "больше", но ложишься на деле позднее обычного 🤔

@7331 @asahi95 #DST / #DaylightSavingsTime is just torture and if it was my decision we'd instead have #Unixtime and #LocalTime only.
