Daylight Savings Time. A poll.

[hog88]

First world problems.

Just pick a time and stick with it. Preferably DST.

 

[BernardKingGOAT]

Early morning....7am darkness in October....I am ok with it. School buses are zipping around way before that. That could possibly be a concern. I answered the don't care choice

[GroverCleveland]

Do people in the Arctic Circle really know what time it is?

Does anybody really care? About time?

I award you +2 VolNation points. You may spend them in the Gift Shop.

So you want ST year round. What Trump and congress are talking about is going to DST permanently. I.e. eliminate the time change. I want to eliminate the change and go to permanent DST. I'll sacrifice an hour in the summer for an hour in the winter. In a year or so, IDGAF.

The sun staying out later isn’t ST year round, it’s DST. Trump is talking about eliminating DST which means the sun would set earlier year round

Obviously owns stock in fake tan companies. Less sun means more fake tans.
Orange man bad.

If DST were permanent, it would be dark in Crossville before 4:00 PM in late December, and light in Knoxville until about 10 PM in summer. Those near time Zone boundaries throughout the USA would see dramatic changes. Under current times, sundown in Crossville on Dec 21 is 4:30 PM.

I am curious to see the MSM spin on this.

MSNBC Breaking News: Trump vows to eliminate Daylight! Our panel will discuss how Trump plans to deport the Sun to another galaxy and the role Elon Musk will play.

Panel members: Some Hispanic lady screaming that Trump wants it dark so he can terrorize your Abuela.

Nerdy white guy with blue glasses telling us how living in darkness 24/7 was always a goal Hitler pursued.

Joy Reid suggesting that Trump is eliminating Daylight because women of color, historically, have always been scared of the dark and this is Trump getting his political retribution against black women that voted for Harris.


“Eliminating daylight is a threat to our democracy”.

I don’t think most people want it dark at 5pm though, it’s not some “left” thing just because Trump mentioned it

It was obviously a poor attempt at comedy. I don’t see this as a partisan issue either.

I work in business overseas and it does create headaches when working with nations that don't have Daylights Savings Time. Granted, it is only a minor headache and manageable.

Brazil does change. But their change is directly opposite of ours. We go from a 1 hour difference to a three hour difference.

Yeah I got that backwards. What I really want is my option.

If DST were permanent, it would be dark in Crossville before 4:00 PM in late December, and light in Knoxville until about 10 PM in summer. Those near time Zone boundaries throughout the USA would see dramatic changes. Under current times, sundown in Crossville on Dec 21 is 4:30 PM.

Backward. If it gets dark at 4:30 now under DST it would be 5:30.

 

[Vol737]

Keep it.....year round. That way I can stay on the lake or the golf course longer.

 

[OrangeTsar]

If that man makes my summer nights shorter, I am calling for a recount!

Daylight saving makes the nights neither longer nor shorter. The earth rotates once every 23 hours and 56 minutes, no matter what games we choose to play with our clocks

All DST is is the government ordering everyone to get up an hour early from March through November.

Do you like or dislike Daylight Savings Time? I’m sure this topic already has a thread. But I figured rather than digging it up, I’d start a new one and include a poll.

In Arizona, we don't have Daylight Savings Time (except those crazy Navajos living in the Navajo Nation). The rest of you need to get your act together.

You are free to believe whatever you want, Round-earther.

I prefer the sun to drop below the horizon at 9 pm as it circle the globe.

If you work in IT it is even worse. All databases and logs get really screwed up. The night of falling back, you have double records of every minute between 2 and 3 am (example 2:30 am occurs TWICE)). In the spring, a whole hour is missing between 2 am and three am. If you are doing calculations and you want to see how long a process was running between 1:58 am and 3:15 am, the answer is 17 Minutes, not 77 minutes. If the boss asks how many people logged in to your website at 2:23 am the answer is undefined because that time will not appear in your records.
Really critical systems use UTC timezone to deal with the problem

No one says you can't keep the hours you need to keep your summer nights longer. You'll just have to make the necessary adjustments to match up with sane people time.

I stand corrected. It would just the opposite in reverse.

sounds like a "if you like your doctor you can keep your doctor" lie

 

[Majors]

TN has passed a law keeping daylight savings time year round. Evidently that has to pass federally before it can take effect. Give me that.

The other states can make their own case.

 

[tbh]

Yes...why no option for "Yes, but more pie, please?" Pie is good whether one is saving daylight time or not.
