I'd hardly call a billion people getting to use an extra ~200-240 hours of sunlight a year absurd.

- fnordpiglet 3y agoThey can wake up earlier and go to bed earlier. Nothing prevents them from utilizing the sunlight due to a nominal time designation. But the time designation changes the structure of all activity unrelated to sunlight for no obvious reason other than “I don’t want to wake up an hour earlier to get that extra hour of sunlight.”
- culopatin 3y agoIf that’s the case then why don’t we keep the DST permanent? Winter days are short no matter what. Either it’s dark when you leave home or when you wake up.
- fnordpiglet 3y agoBeing in the PNW I for one would rather the sun go down at 4 in the winter than 3. Losing an hour of sunlight at 10pm in the summer is ok for me. I have blackout shades specifically because the sun is up too late in the summer in the northern US.
