150 years ago, town clocks were set by observing the sun and consulting an almanac. Today, national observatories check their atomic clocks against a set of 300 quasars, but politicians ask "What time do you want it to be?"

Human circadian rhythm is driven primarily by morning light, and technology has not changed that. The safe, healthy choice is #StandardTime.

Is the U.S. Ending Daylight Saving Time? | Time

I'm for going back to permanent standard time. Wake up to the call of the rooster. Go to bed at sundown. DST sucks for too many reasons.

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

Which clock is better for mental health: Daylight Saving Time or Standard Time? #MentalHealth #DaylightSavingTime #StandardTime https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4DzH3OdRLmc&list=PL99Xe_hTllr_FriCvlGfxj094QP9TrKlS&index=9&ab_channel=SaveStandardTime

@jonobie A #state can #opt out of #DST. But a state can not opt out of #StandardTime, or change #TimeZone, or adopt permanent DST (basically the same thing as changing time zones), without federal approval.

#WA could move to adopt #permanent standard time and it would take effect immediately without approval.

I have no idea why we haven't done that. Standard time makes tremendously more sense in terms of, you know, actual #time of actual #day.

I rebuke #springforward XD I set my clock back an hour and will be pushing my schedule for an hour later than usual to get my precious #standardtime back. Fuck this DST bullshit. I will not put up with it one more year, I'm done 😆😤😠

#FactOfTheDay: Sleep is crucial for teen mental health.

And many researchers agree that Daylight Saving Time ("spring forward") is a challenging adjustment for teens.

Instead of doing away with #DST (or more likely, eliminating #StandardTime) we should address the root cause: the tilt of the Earth’s axis. The DART test went very well, and we should consider just what sort of bump it would take to straighten the old gal up.

Remember everyone: Standardize on Standard Time. It is the standard for time. This is what standards are for, people!

I hate losing an hour… but I would hate it more if I lose it permanently or if the governments make daylight saving time permanent instead of making standard time permanent #springforward #daylightsavingtime #dst can’t wait to get my hour back #fallback #standardtime 🥱 #sundayafternoon

Northern California will spring forward into more winter weather! Some rain and snow today, but MUCH more rain, snow, and wind Monday - Wednesday: Flood Watch, High Wind Watch, and Winter Storm Warning! Please stay safe!

@breadandcircuses I stand with #StandardTime 💪🏼

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.” "

On #StandardTime here in NYC, the Sun was at its high point at 12:07 pm, close to noon. On #DaylightSavingsTime time tomorrow, that will happen at 1:06 pm. Having the sun peak around noon seems more natural. It s/b Std rather than DST that is kept.

Notice: If anyone cares, starting tomorrow I will be exactly 1 hour late for the next 6 months. 👊🏼. #StandardTime I will rise at #DawnO’clock

Getting up early regularly is a way around the jolt of #DaylightSavingTime and #StandardTime

"I'm already up. One hour doesn't really make a difference."

@rdaily He looks pissed.

(DST was a bad idea, permanent DST is a newer bad idea.)
