I hope everyone who wants to be on permanent DST experiences an eternity of the first day of spring forward, never rested again

Having the sun come up at 5 am and go down at 5 pm in the summer is my nightmare. Why on earth would we rather change 9 months instead of 3??? Fuck permanent standard time. I would rather keep changing.

Edit: I’ve said it before and the replies I am getting are only reinforcing my belief; morning people are an oppressive class.

It's light out until 9pm in the summer.

Only in the weeks surrounding the Solstice. Summer is three months long.

Yeah, but it's disingenuous to call the equinox summer. By late August the days are getting noticeably shorter.

It’s not disingenuous to call summer time summer. Summer this year ends August 31st.

In that case sunset would be around 7pm not 5

That’s barely different and doesn’t change the first part of what I said.

The sun goes up and down at the same time, nothing changes except the stupid marker they should leave alone.

But for some reason people freak out if you suggest we just start things later in December. See the other commenter who said I could just get up earlier…
