Exactly. Here in the north our kids go to school in the dark in the winter whether we have standard or DLST. So, might as well have some extra day light at the end of the day. At least that’s how I see it.

Literally an hour difference 💀

​@@galaticdragon6101 Hello from Finland. At worst, sun rises after 10am in the winter. Daylight saving time doesn't even make a difference for sunlight in the grand scheme of things here. literally worse than useless.

"Ignore the contents of the video and the millions of people this affects. Just brag about living conditions the same way Texans do the temperature."

dude my grandpa just recently retired from truck driving at about 75 years old, and he slept whenever he needed to. Not always at night. I personally am nocturnal, but still gave to be diurnal which is annoying but oh well.

Time is relative. No time designation is any more real than another. It's just a matter of common agreement in any locality.

True. The science clearly shows that children are not at their best that early in the morning. Shorten the school day.

@@cheryllwaldrop9732 School is early so parents can drop them off and get to work early. You'd have to change the work schedule too.

On Standard Time kids are already getting on the bus in the dark starting around Thanksgiving time and by Christmas time they're getting off the bus in the dark when going home !

LMFAOOO

Huh?

Glad to see there's another time hoarder!🤣

Same here. Though it wasn't Hawaii. But yeah, took no time to adjust to not having to change the clocks twice every year. It was great. Wish they'd abolish this crap everywhere.

@@thundercat_pumyra- Me too, but they just keep talking about it.

I was thinking along that same line, why not split the difference, after a few days it make that much of a difference.

Same - I've been saying that since at least the 5th grade, which for me was way back in 1993-1994. I just really, really hated changing the time like that. 😬 Seriously, pick a time and leave it there already. Also, maybe cut the time zones into (at least) two pieces? Some of them are just so honking big it seems like they're spanning two or three time zones.

double down and make it shift 6 hours

Years ago I lived in Ohio and worked in Indiana, That was a real pain in the ass.

@@crosley62 but imagine if neither of us changed time

Rizz from the comment section 💀

The problem is that everyone has this idea that work needs to start at, for example, 9 am. We could collectively decide to start work at 8 am, but no one is going to do that. Weirdly we are okay with having the goverment just tell us that 9 am is now at 8 am though.

Yay!

This is Murca, we run on freedom time, not that there fancy standard garbage

Amen Terri!!!!!!

I’m located on the left side of my time zone (sun rises as late as possible for me compared to others). The sun doesn’t rise before the busses arrive (whether it’s daylight savings or standard time). We need to just make the school day start later.

In either time setting kids are getting on the bus in the dark just after 0600 , change school times !

Because people are stupid and government ruins everything it touches

On Standard Time more people are getting out of work in the dark and driving home in the dark and having twice as many wrecks

But the length of daylight doesn't change. Your plants couldn't care less what you call it, you could even make the numbers into letters and they'll still get the same amount of light and dark.

@@xXxSapphir3xXx That's just... Straight up wrong. Unless you live exactly on the equator, the duration of daylight hours changes depending on the time of the year.

@OzixiThrill no, it's not. No one is changing the time the sun rises and falls.... You still get x number of sunlight on any given day no matter what time you call it! Go to the weather channel and look up sun rose and sunset, mine is a little over 9 hours today. If I call Sunrise 750 or 850 I'll still get a little over 9 hours!

@@xXxSapphir3xXx You're correct in that nobody is changing when the sun rises, sets and how much time the Sun is "up"; Because this change is a natural phenomenon. It comes from the tilted axis that our planet has relative to the plane it travels on around the Sun. As the Earth moves along it's orbital path, this tilted angle changes the amount of time any given spot spends being hit by the sun as the Earth rotates around it's own axis. The observable effect of that down on the ground is that in the north, during winter, the time the sun is up is shorter, while in the summer it is longer; And the opposite is true in the south. While this effect becomes more negligible the closer you are to the equator, around the poles this is so extreme that you essentially have a single, 6 month long day, followed by a single, 6 month long night; And during those times the areas near the poles end up having extreme changes to the day-night cycle as well - To the point where those areas have an hour of night/daytime. Furthermore, your testing fails to account for the fact that this change is small and gradual (a few minues a day at the most extreme places). If you repeat your test once every 3 months or so, you'll actually see substantial change to the amount of time the sun is up; Again, assuming you don't live near the equator, where this effect is barely over an hour at the two extremes.

@@OzixiThrill I believe you're missing Sapphire's point. I think they're talking about the fact that, independent of what arbitrary number we put on our clocks, the amount of sunlight a given region gets is generally consistent over (natural, unmediated) time. As you say. But DST has no affect on that, outside human intervention being scheduled. The original comment is making a true statement that doesn't really have anything to do with the content of the video.

More daylight in evenings .

I don’t resent your existence, being old and disabled, myself. I get Social Security and a small pension from one job. And $60 a week for sitting with my neighbor who had a stroke 4 hours 5 days a week and helping re-learn reading and writing.

@@sophierobinson2738 well my family resents my existence since i was supposed to be a golden ticket to lift everyone out of poverty and be the one to take care of my parents in old age and their kids when I'm young. But i ended up not being very exploitable past my mom stealing my college loan money and nest eggs (largely collectable Barbies my paternal grandmother used to buy me for Christmas to afford moving out. My mom immediately sold them and pocketed the money for herself when my head was turned. Claimed i "owed her" for the expenses if Raising me and my inability to support her one i hit legal adulthood). So they all hate my existence since i left and didn't properly center parents and family and all that nonsense latine adult kids are "supposed" to. Also the vast majority of people who live nearby (rural Oklahoma) have said things to me or my partner about how useless and worthless i am and shouldn't exist or at least not be supported by them or any public money. Especially managers and the like. Especially since I'm not old at all, and my disability mostly comes down to cptsd from childhood trauma/chronic pain/fibromyalgia along with autism. All of which most people (around here in particular) tend to not believe in, understand, or have any kind of patience for. (general prescription is to "get over it, quit whining, and power through" despite that always making my physical and psychological symptoms unmanageable within a few weeks. and pain and stress increasing risk for shut downs or other events where i lose all functionality completely for a while. Cause they fundamentally can't and don't understand any of that). I'm mostly able to navigate at home, but worsen with stress and without plenty of down time to recover between bursts of productivity (such as working a shift. Making working more than about 2-3 days a week pretty unreasonably taxing) My partner knew me back when i was way more functional and was the one to stay with them when friends and family abandoned them for nonsense. So they kinda get it and don't try to make me feel bad. Plus we often chatted on proto zoom (not me taking out of context videos after things have gotten out of hand. But just chatting when the context pops ups randomly all the time pretty much daily). so they heard and saw it pretty first hand too. But I'm acutely aware they're basically the only one in my life that doesn't look down on me and hate my existence. I'm not too down on it. It's not like i like most of those people in turn. There's reasons I'm trying to move to the west coast if i can ever get the money for that. Not sure if it's going to go anywhere, but i have been Getting into voice acting and video editing /vaguely KZfaq like stuff (not using this profile, not advertising the one i am uploading from). My music, crochet, cooking, gardening, sewing, etc all tax my hands greatly and I've mostly had to give up on doing too much of any of it. Most of my physical limitations/triggers for more specific regional pain, weakness, and limited use involve my leg/standing/walking for too long and especially my hand that basically seems to have carpal tunnel. (can't really afford getting specialist testing in the city, even if i could access transportation into the city at all. So don't really know what the issue is for sure. Could be tendinitis or even a manifestation of my reynauds for all I know. But has been an issue for over 15 years. So i do think at the very least it's something i can consistently and realistically do regardless of what kind of pain or limitations i have for the day. So i am still hoping that stuff works out. There's hope. Just also there's a lot of people I don't particularly want to associate with, who feel pretty mutually about me. And I'm just basically embracing that at this point. Especially when people vocally express some kind of "jealousy" about "not having to be" part of the traditional "workforce". Cause lmfao some people need some god damn perspective for what that ACTUALLY means for a lot of people. Poverty, homelessness, chronic health issues, isolation, gatekeeping of basic resources in order to ensure you stay down, etc. (this is double true for disabled people who look down on other disabled people for not being as capable or willing to work traditional jobs instead of or possibly in addition to disability income. Cause honestly fuck those people and anyone else who should know better who sides with oppressors straight to hell.) It's about as tone deaf as expressing envy for people in prison because they "don't have to cook or clean, and get 3 meals a day and bed all for free". Like bruh if you really think it's that great you could try to rob a bank. Truly desperate people have done such to access healthcare. But no one talking shit about how "great" it is is willing to actually put their money where their mouth is. Exactly the same as people who think it "sounds so nice to not work". Like come in then. Just quit your job and try to survive on maybe $100 a week. I fucking dare anyone talking that shit to put up or shut up.

@@foxyfox9196 Geez. That's all terrible. And I thought my neighbor's family was bad. One sponged off them for over a year after she asked to stay for "just a week", and then she and one of her sons broke in and stole stuff. I just have RA, Felty's syndrome, and Sjogren's syndrome. I would have had a nice inheritance, but I wouldn't back down on my principles in an argument with my step-mother, so my kids got the money. Do they think about poor old mom? No. At least my son answers the phone when I call. I hope that all your good dreams come true!

durrrrr

unironically this though. trying to fit your wake and sleep cycle to some societal standard that only accounts for morning people... in a relatively small portion of the year mind you... and making that the "de-facto circadian rhythm" explains to a big part why we're always tired. there's other reasons too of course but that one basically ignores everything we know about how humans actually function. Though I disagree, if you go up north enough, you'd sleep vastly different number of hours from winter to summer if you went by sun. Then again it's not like people living in tribes have too much consistency in their sleep patterns either

No, but srs, ideas like "when is the correct time to wake up" is insane and parochial superstition. We should outright understand PERSONAL time through events, and just accept the fact that global timescale is there to cross-refernce our appointments. Use GMT, that's it. The problem we have now, is that people DON'T wake up at the "normal" time, it's like starting school year by birth in December or January. Different edges of a time zone learn FALSE narratives about "sun rises at this time", when it's arbitrary. They just live so far east of the zone that sun reaches them earlier. And nobody tf is getting their 8 hours of sleep anyway; you're not gonna miss the precious few daylight hours no matter when you sleep. Stop shuffling kids away to be alienated from society during the day, and do it like Philippines where kids use the same classroom in shifts on different times of day.

He was talking about a rabbit/bunny and I was like is that a damn rabbits foot in place of the mic. Lol.

Just because greedy dipshits a century ago tried to push into law that their stupid creation is permanent doesn't mean that we should obey them; Especially after it can be shown that their decision is harmful to almost everyone.

We can though, every state can just decide to opt out of DST.

Yes you have it correct.

Yes there should be about 30 time zones around the world, that would give us 30 hours a day/night time ! ! !

That doesn't solve the syncing issue, nor does it make sense. You're making the majority of the country call "sun in the middle of the sky" "3:00 P.M", or something, depending on your location. Moving through time zones in a matter of hours makes them harder to deal with, but that doesn't make them useless.

That's incorrect; there's no such thing as a killer rabbit. Killer bunnies, however, are infamous for their ravenous bloodlust, lightning-fast attacks, and habitats confined primarily to temperate zones.

Vowels are A, E, I, O, U, and Y in the English language.

We are always going to be out of sync with the rest of the world, because we are not in the same time zone as the rest of the world. Or even ourselves. Being out of sync has not been an issue for the past.... ever. For ever. No sense in believing it will suddenly be an issue when we quit switching back and forth twice a year.

until they copy us. We are already out of sync with China which doesn't have daylight savings time.

@@John-hk4fr I think you're missing the point.... China's not just on a different time than us. It's already tomorrow in China right now. We will *NEVER* be "in sync" with "the world". Or how about the fact that the Southern hemisphere engages in daylight savings when the Northern hemisphere reverts to standard, and vice versa. This whole idea of being "in sync with the rest of the world" is just whack. Cannot and will not ever happen.

It puts a rush on the morning chores for me. I hate DST.

They are not. It improves instead with the return to Standard Time.

NO. No shifting ever.

Lots of people do important things before school, not just playing. That's a stupid excuse. Take farmers who have to milk cows, etc. Cows don't have clocks, they go by the sun cycle. Everything on the farm goes by the sun cycle. Farmers are the number one protesters against Daylight Saving Time. And we get told it's being done for their sakes. Not. I hate having to take off my horses' turnout blankets when I feed them breakfast before going in to work at 6 a.m. by feeding at 5 a.m. knowing they will be out there for an extra hour in DST before the sun comes up to warm them. That's a lot more important than kids playing stupid games or not. It's not wasted sunlight to other people. It's necessary and important. Kids can play any time they want and inside too. A lot of other things can't be done inside.

Farmers.

@@sophierobinson2738 And they are our backbone. We should accommodate them.

I think that's exactly why DLS has lasted as long as it has. As much as most people don't like moving the clocks forward in the spring, we also don't want sunrise at 4 or 4:30 in the morning, but in the winter we don't want it being dark when we're commuting to work or when kids are going to school. (We could actually solve the problem of kids going to school in the dark by starting school later in the day, which many experts say we should do anyway, but that causes other problems.) Actually, here in New England, at the height of summer I'm always woken up by birdsong between 4 and 4:30 in the morning, when it starts getting light out, and that's when we're on DLS. If we switched to year-round standard time, the birds would be waking me up between 3 and 3:30 in the morning. Having said all that, personally I would like to stop changing the clocks twice a year, but I'd like to stay on DLS rather than standard time. However, some experts have said that staying on standard time year round give the best balance of sunlight to most people. However, if the US were to move to year-round standard time, the Northeast might switch to Atlantic Standard Time, so that we'd have 5 time zones in the US instead of 4, which would create a new set of problems.

The true adult way is to always forget when you have to switch and either arrive 1 hour late to work or 1 hour early.

I think we have both, hormones are ridiculously complicated and do way more things than just reproductive stuff!

oh yeah that’s true, okay nvm then lol

It applies to both men and women. The 28 day cycle for women that you are talking about is a separate cycle and has nothing to do with it. The length of daylight affects everybody. Blind people are the only ones who don't react to it. However, blind women still have the 28 day cycle because it's an estrogen sourced internal cycle, not a sunlight related hormone cycle. Totally different cycles. Totally illogical argument.

People with a pulse, generally.
