- GrinningFool 8y agoHousehold pets that get fed on a schedule too :/
- irrational 8y agoFarm animals don’t adjust. They can’t tell time. The cows get milked when they are ready to get milked regardless of what DST says the time is. The farmers are the only ones who’s schedule gets messed up by DST.
- kerng 8y agoI think you missed the point on why they have to adjust - because the entire industry's schedule changes.
- irrational 8y agoHow would they adjust? Are you suggesting they will have their milk ready an hour earlier or be willing to hold the milk in their udder for an hour later just because DST is turning on/off? That's now how these things work.
- kerng 8y agoYou are pointing out the problem actually. E.g. being woken up an hour earlier/later for instance to get fed and milked isn't fun and quite arbitrary out of the blue.
