EST lovers be like, "Thank God the sun sets right after I get home from work. Fuck that yellow orb."

EST Lovers be like "wow I feel so well rested".

Dude I have sunlight until 8 PM. It's March.

Your mom can get sunlight after work without harming people's health, bro.

Really though, as I understand it, it's the time change that causes issues. Best of both worlds, just stay in DST forever. No increase in mortality after time changes, but we all get an extra hour of daylight in the evening.

The American Medical Association disagrees. This article from the journal of clinical sleep medicine helps debunk those myths.

Hell ya, livin' life gang

Man, screw DST. I just want my room to have a chance to cool down a bit from the blazing sun and incessant climbing temperatures before I go to bed.

Close the curtains; I want sunlight after I get out of work.

If the climate is that intolerable, move. Don't live in a monument to man's arrogance.

I wish it was that simple.

Most large (and probably majority of small) cities experience this phenomena to some degree, most noticeable are ones that have aging architecture that wasn’t built to accommodate the ever growing heat.

It’s not even a question of using blackout blinds or putting UV reflective film on your windows or painting the roof white or even running the AC for as long as your wallet will allow you to.

The walls get hot. The ground gets hot. The roofs get hot. The air itself is hot. And it’s getting hotter (referring to the last decade+ as a trend)

Any reflective surface gets progressively more aggressive (glare and redirected heat) and anything that is not reflective is absorbing the heat at unprecedented levels the stronger the sun rays get, any dwellings not specifically engineered to deal with any of these heat phenomena are subjecting its dwellers to the consequences of not having any policies that would force these dwellings to be habitable in summer months.

This isn’t a problem that can be solved by simply packing my shit and moving, this is a systemic problem that we’re (more or less world wide) failing to address since the whole global warming thing is not being actioned at nearly the urgency it warrants.

With all the above said, there’s also the question of job availability and housing affordability, which is adding extra layers to this already delightful shit cake.

In short: It’s not that I don’t want to live with the penguins and caribou as my neighbours, it’s that I can’t afford to.

The irony of this comment is that one of the few sane things Arizona does is staying on standard time year-round.

Totally, all you arrogant co-conspirators need to move above the 46th parallel. Perfect plan!

[-] mrnobody@reddthat.com 24 points 6 months ago

TIL DST happens at different times for different areas.. Something I never really considered.

[-] SubArcticTundra@lemmy.ml 17 points 6 months ago

You'd think the world would be designed to make sense. Oh now naïve we were

[-] Dippy@beehaw.org 11 points 6 months ago

One global time. If the sun rises at 7, good for your area, if it rises at 10, guess what, school and work start at 11

[-] Elting@piefed.social 10 points 6 months ago

Unless you live near a pole in which case this is just half the year

[-] W98BSoD@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 6 months ago

What does a Polish person have to do with time?

[-] TwodogsFighting@lemdro.id 6 points 6 months ago

Time speeds up at the poles.

[-] Chezus9247@lemmy.world 5 points 6 months ago

My stupid ass thought of Don't Starve Together.

[-] katkit@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago

Same. Just played it extensively yesterday.
