Extra hour of sunlight for golf no doubt.
That would be permanent Daylight Savings, not eliminating it.
Though I'm not sure he or many others know the difference.
Half the people cheering the elimination of DST actually want permanent DST. Can't wait for this to go through, morons will get what they asked for instead of what they wanted. Theyre going to spend the extra hour of sun asleep in their beds.
I don't give a crap if the clocks stay forward or stay back, as long as they stay put.
Take off your watch then, you're the one carrying it around.
As someone who mourns the 24hrs open world that covid killed, I don't care what the sky looks like, I'm just sick of my circadian rhythm being thrown off every few months because some fuck couldn't be bothered to use a lamp and decided it needed to be everyone else's problem.
You realize the circadian rhythm of humans is massively influenced by the sun right? It's not just not using lamps, the light of the sun literally activates hormones that tell you it's time to get up and lack of sunlight makes hormones tell you it's time to sleep.
Yes, I also understand that the sun rising and setting doesn't stop me from going about my day. Daylight savings doesn't take away the sun, it just let's my boss demand I change what time I wake up by an hour.
So it's not about your circadian rhythm anymore its about fighting it and doing your things no matter what the sun is doing? Most humans still need light to regulate their sleep, emotions, hair growth, and literal bone density. I'm glad your special but pretending like it's just people who don't want to use lamps is the worst comparison I think ive ever seen on the subject.
I would be prepared to take either one at this point
Whatever gets the clocks fixed.
As you age time appears to pass faster.
In your late 70s, six months flies by, so older people tend to hate daylight savings time, because they feel.like they're constantly changing their clocks.
It's why Biden was such a bad president, the last four years flew by and he probably barely realized it.
It's why the entire time he kept saying "we need to figure out what's going on first".
At that age you just can't keep up with a normal day to day, let alone be the fucking president of America.
trump obviously will (and has) had the same issue, it's just when Trump doesn't get his shit done, it's almost always a positive for the country.
Not that I can tell yet, but i heard that the peak of time passing is around 45-50 years old. Also, things like this apply a lot more to people who do the same routines day in and day out. Someone like Trump probably sees it a bit less due to always having a different day most days. Although, at the same time, how many days did he golf or just vacation on his last term?
Whatever his reason, it's gonna be stupid.
But unironically, there's a lot of good reasons to just go with one time or the other.
So it's weird to keep seeing headlines about it
Media is desperate to get people to arguing over shit that doesn't really matter along party lines.
They're still shitting their pants over 99% of the country uniting behind Luigi. They want us to talk about anything except the shit that effects billionaires negatively
Edit:
I kind of just glossed over that. But it's completely incorrect btw ...
