Eh? Most of the world don't do summer time.
- prmoustache 2y agoYes for some reason I read the following sentence backwards thinking that 410 timezones were observing DST while 185 did not. > Hmm. 410 timezones just don’t DST at all. 185 have a 3600-second, i.e. 1-hour, difference. My point stands that there is no normality, just governments taking different decisions and being entitled to it and what the majority does is not relevant.
- ComputerGuru 2y agoIs that also true by population?
- reisse 2y agoSure. The only country from the top ten by population that observes the DST is the US. From the top fifteen countries, it's US and Egypt. I think the statement is true by any reasonable metric - population, land area, GDP size.
