Exactly. I always hated winter time. Why can't we abolish that? Oh you have a short day where you only get half an hour of daylight after work? Let's make it an hour shorter.
- nicky0 9y agoThe day is the same length you just do everything an hour earlier. You can do that without changing the time.....
- carlmr 9y agoDo you get all your collegues to get up one hour earlier with you? Do you call the TV station to broadcast one hour earlier? Do you get your gym to open one hour earlier? Society agrees on time because it's necessary to make the system work. You can't individually live in a different time zone.
- nicky0 9y agoOf course you are right. But that "impossible" thing is precisely what actually happens when everyone moves the clocks. It's a clever social hack.
