I think we should all operate on gmt. One time, all the time, 24 hour clock. No timezones, no daylight savings. Just seconds ticking away.

Please, for love of God, just end daylight savings time. That is all I ask.

[-] NovaPrime@lemmy.ml 8 points 1 year ago

Fuck that. End standard time and make everything savings time. Much prefer longer, brighter evenings

I am fine with literally any time as long as it remains constant.

Monkey paw, time stops for everyone but you.

Same. Pick one. I don't care which. They both have their pros and cons. Plus, it's an arbitrary number and nothing actually forces people to believe things like "the work day should be 9-5" (though admittedly, changing social norms is difficult).

Saskatchewan has the right idea. Its timezone is a bit weird, but nobody there cares and is just glad to not have to deal with DST. For non Canadians: it's the part of Canada in this map where something that looks like it should be -6 (central time) juts into -7 (mountain time). They don't have DST and it's one of the few things Saskatchewan gets right anymore.
