Is Daylight Saving Time Over? #shorts

Q: Is this the last 🇺🇸 Daylight Saving time change? An update on the continued Daylight Saving political nonsense, when standard time is (scientifically) better.
Happy Spring Forward day to those who celebrate ☀️

I want permanent Standard Time!
It's frustrating that all of the political effort here is going the wrong way. :(

Thanks to the first attempt, Mexico did pass a law to remain in standard time, Im grateful

Yes, I want to stay on Standard time forever. Changing the clock is not just annoying, it's detrimental to a healthy sleep schedule.

[VanGarrett]

Daylight Savings Time should be abolished!

[ragnkja]

I’m definitely Team “I don’t really care that much as long as we stop switching!” because schedules can adapt to whatever we call the clock time, if only we can stick to one time zone per location!

[photonqopt]

I'm all for going to the permanent standard time. I want 12pm to be as close to 'high noon' as possible. I don't want sunrise to be 9 am in December.

I'm a "forget DST" person. Let nature take its course.

[KerryHallPhD]

my gut says daylight, but my brain says standard

[iandakariann]

I'm confused about something:

If the issue is that people don't like daylight savings and prefer standard.... Why not just permanent standard?

The issue isn't what time we stick to. It's the hopping between the two. Is there anyone actually arguing for the JUMPS in time or is this a 'permanent standard' vs 'permanent daylight' argument with us being stuck with the worst of both in the meanwhile?

[ericvilas]

This really feels like one of the things that should be down to each state - pass a law to stop the switch and let each state decide whether it wants to be in Standard or Daylight Savings time all the time. It's what the EU were planning on doing before COVID got in the way.
Also, I'm from Argentina, we have perma-DST, and we don't really have any issues? It really just depends on your schedule. Schools and work should really start at 9-10AM anyway.

it might be a controversial opinion, but i like day light savings, i dont like waking up at the same time and it being pitch black night for half of the year. Coming back home at night already makes me depressed enough.

[pasikavecpruhovany]

For maximum chaos scrap both and move to babylonian hours! Daytime and nighttime are separately split into 12 hours. The day hour simply gets longer in summer and shorter in winter.

[faenethlorhalien]

It's been proved more than once that it's a scam, that it causes more harm than benefit. Just move to summer time permanently.
The alleged health benefits are bollocks.

[TheCudmaster]

Daylight time in winter would mean I would have an extra hour to ski in the afternoon stolen from those heinous morning people.

[archerelms]

I very much prefer standard time
I didn't even realize I was losing an hour tonight until I looked at the clock a few minutes ago 😭

[SLASHER]

I don't care which ever we stick with... Just quit changing it.

[CorpusOrganic]

the whole hoopla over this last year got me thinking. why do people need a law passed? i switched all my devices from kansas time to UTC. best thing ever. i easily adjusted to converting it to different offsets. i no longer went by a clock for when i slept. i no longer used it to tell me where the sun was. it was a good exercise for cognitive function and encouraging mindfulness

it felt very freeing. i spent half a year like that. only recently changed back do to appointment tracking issues. thinking i will switch back. why vote for something that doesn't require the government's consent?

[Sopherian]

It's annoying and I want it to stop.

[_maxgray]

But we don't all have the same chronotrope! Look, morning larks already have enough unfair advantages in our society. Let night owls have this tiny win and go to permanent DST. It fits so much better with my sleep cycle. But honestly I'll take permanent standard over this nonsense.

[TheThagenesis]

daylight saving time isn't the problem! the way we switch is! there has to be a better way than jumping an whole hour!
