Cue some rando reply guy justifying year round DST by saying, “I prefer when the sun on Midsommar rises at 3:32 am instead of 2:32 am.”

The EU voted to abolish daylight saving time in 2019. However, we continue this stupid practice because some states want to stay on DST year round, while others want to stay on standard time year round.

The correct answer is standard time year round because:

1. Time is an illusion. Let’s keep it simple.

2. Science says morning light is better for your health. https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2023/03/11/1162345477/changing-our-clocks-is-a-health-hazard-just-ask-a-sleep-doctor

Last Tuesday it was light enough for a hummingbird to greet me as I walked out the door at 6:15AM.

This morning, it was pitch black. The hummingbirds were sleeping. This sucks.

Also, the very fact Marco Rubio is the one pushing the legislation to allow states to keep DST permanently, as opposed to keeping Standard permanently which could have been by States done with no Congressional action whatsoever, should tell you all you need to know about what industry is pushing for this change and whether using DST permanently is good or bad for society as a whole.

I hate the clocks changing. I wish they would just keep the clocks on standard time so noon has the sun highest in the sky (allowing for differences in location within a time zone)

But I really dislike people calling it the wrong thing.

"Daylight Saving Time (DST) is often wrongly referred to as “Daylight Savings,” with an “s” at the end. Other common variations are “Summer Time” and “Daylight-Saving Time.” "

Loving the switch back to standard time. It's so much easier to wake up when it's not dark out #keepStandardTime
