I average out the spring and fall changes and just set my clocks 39 minutes ahead year-round.

    Who are the chucklefucks that want it to get dark at 4:30PM for half the year?

      Plenty of people would prefer the extra daylight in the mornings rather than the evenings. I’m personally in favour of summer time all the time

        And I personally don’t give a shit, just please stop fucking with the clock.
        Let’s have a vote, simple majority wins, done.

      Chronobiologists. The people who actually study how time impacts our well being and health.

      The American public. Permanent DST was tried once already and winter with DST is way worse than summer with standard time.

      Everyone who hates how early they have to get up for work. Standard time lets you sleep longer. (It’s hard to think about, but it’s true!)

      This is the crux of the issue. An overwhelming majority of people support not changing the clocks anymore. But we can’t reach a consensus on which to stick with. Personally, I think Arizona did it right.

      And it’s nice to know that the sun is actually at its highest at noon and its lowest at midnight. Seems weird to me to decide that 13:00 is when the sun is highest…
