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

Some traditions are simply stupid and should be discarded.

This is one example.

My friends dad died of a heart attack like 2 days we sprang forward for daylight savings time. Apparently there is a statistical correlation with increased heart attacks during this time likely due to the lost hour of sleep. I'm sure he would have eventually died of a heart attack because of his lifestyle, but I'm quite convinced it was a part of what caused it to happen on that day.

ITT: People absolutely convinced "their" side of the hour is the Only Correct Choice, and can't understand why people who prefer the "other" side of the hour can't just adjust their schedule to compensate.

RFK Jr recommends sun lamps during the non-savings hours. Particularly on the arsehole.

As someone who lived in a country with DST and now living in a country without it, it's honestly such a pleasure never having to worry about losing or gaining an hour at an arbitrary time of the year.

Daylight Saving Time (not Savings). Most people get this wrong and I'm not sure why.

It's like this comes up every 6 months. Good thing we have a robust economy and world peace so we can fuck around with subjects like this.

Fuck that. Keep daylight savings time and end standard time. I like my daylight when I can actually use it; after work.

Mildly Interesting

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.
