Why would anyone want to implement their own DST? Why would anyone need to trick themselves by changing their clocks when they can just decide to get up at a different time?
And what was going on before DST was invented? Chaos?
And where people ignore this idea? Is it chaos there?
- lazyasciiart 10y agoThis is an argument against DST, not clocks.
- stretchwithme 10y agoThat's right. I was referring to how clocks are used by DST to change our behavior. I wasn't arguing against clocks.

That's what I mean. Imagine if business hours changed suddenly at a certain date instead of the clock itself changing. And every business had a different date, and some did change and some didn't, etc. >And what was going on before DST was invented? Chaos? And where people ignore this idea? Is it chaos there? To avoid the chaos, people didn't even try to do it. And they stayed on the same schedule year round. This means they lost an extra hour of sunlight for half the year. Which is a pretty undesirable outcome. Less time for outdoor activities, worse moods, increased depression, etc.
