I thought this was about ending the practice of moving the clock back and forth twice a year, but no, it's just about soon moving the clock

I came here to say the same thing!

I was hopeful for a moment there...

However, changing the clocks isn’t just about an extra hour of sleep. Research from Johns Hopkins suggests that the time shift can lead to higher stress, disrupted sleep and even a temporary increase in car accidents.

Aware of these risks, Ontario passed a bill in 2020 to make daylight saving time permanent, though it remains on hold until Quebec and New York State decide to make the same change—a commitment neither has made yet.

Waiting on New Yorkers and the Québécois.

Yeah, headline should be “daylight-saving time soon continues in Ontario” :-/

[-] BCsven@lemmy.ca 2 points 3 weeks ago

They are technically correct, Daylight savings end, standard time continues.

[-] Hawke@lemmy.world 0 points 3 weeks ago

Daylight-saving time is not in effect, yet it remains in place :-(

[-] BCsven@lemmy.ca 0 points 3 weeks ago

Wut? March through November is Daylight savings time. Rest is standard time without the adjustments. I wish the practise of DST shifting would get frozen though.

[-] Hawke@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

yes, that is what I said. When DST “ends” in November as that headline states…it will no longer be in effect. But the system of constant clock shifting will still be in place.

News at 11 - next month is November, and you won't believe what happens after that! Stay tuned for more.

I don't change my routine to fit the wall time. I organize my day by the sunrise and sunset.

A lot of us don't have that choice if we are expected at work at certain times. I know i kinda appreciate it because it makes mornings brighter and easier to see pedestrians and such during my commute.

[-] Grimpen@lemmy.ca 1 points 3 weeks ago

You're absolutely right. Next time someone says DST exists "because farmers", point out that they don't milk cows and hour earlier or later based on the clock on the wall.

Also, in seasonal "touristy" towns, lots of shops have seasonal hours. We don't need to muck around with the clocks on the walls (and all the devices with internal clocks) for everyone because we want to start school or office hours earlier or later. Just have seasonal hours for businesses that care.

Can’t wait for clocks to move forward an hour, it’s getting dark way too early
