I fucking hate dst so much. I wish we could do away with it.
None in Arizona! It’s awesome!
Yeah but you have to live in Arizona.
“What’s the weather like today?”
“Erm, gas mark 3”
“oven”
It sounds miserable already
I’d be down
I like it
well I for one have been dreading this day because now the clock in my car will be wrong for 6 months.
Daylight Savings lasts for 8 months, so it’s better to not change your clocks during the winter time
Whoah you’re right, it’s 8/4 not 6/6 😬
I absolutely refuse to change time on any of my analog clocks. I hate daylight savings with passion.
I display a clock at work that I proudly label as “Standard Time” year-round. Screw daylight stealings.
But now you’re running early since you mentally shave an hour off out of habit.
Oh nooo… I guess my alarm clock will be off one hour again for the next half year
Same, or until the next power outage. And then they will be wrong by who knows how much for a week or two until I set them.
All my appliances flash 12:00. At least they’ll be correct twice a day.
This is the conversation via text I had with my wife yesterday morning:
Her: I’ll get [my daughter] up.
Me: Not until 10.
Her: Time change.
Me: [looking directly at the clock on my computer] It’s 9:30.
Her: Did time go backwards?
Me: No. It feels like 8:30. That’s why the dogs got up at 7 instead of 6.
Her: Sigh. I’m so confused.
Daylight savings are so stupid. Savings are actually minimal and it’s bad for your health. If everyday you wake up at 7 your body will wake up without an alarm, now wake up at 6 because it’s a new 7. I’m sure you will wake up no problem. Now we will change it every 6 months so you will always need alarm. God! I hate it!
All of this iot shit, and all we really need is the ability for everything to just use an ntp server.
I wonder if we could set up all your devices to get that data from something like radio/Bluetooth. Then have your router/small device just send out the time from ntp and all your devices can just accept the message
That way you don’t need an internet connected microwave
If you’re going to make your device capable of setting its clock via radio, then it wouldn’t need to get its time from your router because it could just receive the signal straight from the atomic clock at NIST.
Daylight savings is what caused it in the first place. Screw daylight savings.
Screw the switch anyway. I think I’d like it if we made daylight saving time just be permanent, instead of staying on winter hours year round.
I can finally successfully rsync my phone over network instead of MTP!
My car battery went dead the day before the time change. I was so close.
It’s the cooker that gets me. I end up just switching it off and on at midnight because fuck knows how you’re supposed to set it.
My car has the correct time again! I just said fuck it and decided that IDGAF and let it keep the standard time when it was Fall back.
I feel justified in my laziness today
We just switched to daylight saving, which happens during the summer. You kept it on saving time, not standard time, when you didn’t change it in the fall.
But doesnt fall back put us into standard time? We are in DST now.
I hate it either way
My car as a separate clock on the dash and one on the nav screen. I keep them a hour apart and just attend to the correct one depending on the time of year. If you think this is insane, maybe think about how insane it is that we still do this dst bullshit at all and vote for politicians like those in Mexico that are willing to drop this shit. I genuinely worry that as more clocks update themselves we will become complacent and will never be free from this tyranny.
I genuinely worry that as more clocks update themselves we will become complacent and will never be free from this tyranny.
But maybe we could reach a point where the clocks update every night so instead of shifting an hour at a time twice per year we can shift 20 seconds per day. I haven’t put much thought into this but I think it’s the next best solution after leaving the god damned clocks alone.
Removed by mod
I used to be like that. Then at some point, time became a part of my job and now because of this stupid government, I spent 15 minutes stress-running around fixing everything twice a year.
If only. They are falling behind with time.
I feel so heard. I refused to change mine last time, so now they are all “officially” correct.
