Every time the time switches there's a spike in car accidents, heart attacks, etc. Also, time should just be constant imo, arbitrarily shifting it an hour twice a year seems stupid to me.

Everybody loses an hour of sleep in the spring which results in a statistical spike in hospital admittance for heart problems and car accidents.

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.
