We use a timed feeder for our cat's breakfast. I don't force DST on her lol.

[-] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 14 points 5 days ago

Ditto. Now they only pester us when the hopper is empty.

My cat was so upset/confused this morning, demanding food while my wife and I were still asleep

[-] gdog05@lemmy.world 9 points 5 days ago

Holy hell. 5:30am nose licks come really early. It's only an hour but it's an important hour.

[-] BeMoreCareful@lemmy.world 19 points 4 days ago

My household was livid this morning.

"It doesn't matter what the rest of the world is doing, WE had an arrangement"

They're not wrong. Changing time is bullshit.

[-] cpw@lemmy.ca 15 points 4 days ago

It's an absolute calamity here. My four haven't stopped reminding me for the last 30 minutes. They still have 30 minutes to wait. They will wait.

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.world 6 points 4 days ago

Why? Like what does it matter?

[-] rustydrd@sh.itjust.works 11 points 4 days ago

It matters because, if you give in to their demands, some cats will learn that they only have to annoy you enough to get food, and they will be happy to repeat this at the earliest convenience.

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago

That makes sense.

poor guy wasting away before your very eyes

I have a friend with one of those automatic food dispensers that releases food at set times

The cats hate the time change (and I mean, fair). They're probably screaming right now

[-] wise_pancake@lemmy.ca 25 points 5 days ago

I just never update the machine clock so the cats don’t know, except now we’re sleeping an hour later than they’re used to.

The capitalize on the extra snuggle time though.

[-] DannyMac@lemm.ee 7 points 4 days ago

Lol I'm currently experiencing this now with my cat as I read this post

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.world 9 points 4 days ago

I just feed my dog twice per day whenever he tells me he's hungry. Idk why he'd have to be on a strict schedule, as long as it's relatively regular.

[-] Bishma@discuss.tchncs.de 11 points 5 days ago

My cats are not amused.

[-] vivavideri@lemmy.world 7 points 4 days ago

There was an attempted mutiny in my living room!

[-] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 8 points 5 days ago

I planned ahead for this. She's got dry food out anyway, and doesn't get the wet stuff until about an hour into the morning routine, but she does want me to get up and give her attention. So a month ago I set the alarm half an hour later and moved some tasks to the night before. Last night I set the clocks back and also moved the alarm back from 6:30 to 6. Between no alarm and the longer darkness, she was willing to let me sleep the extra half hour.

welcome to my house twice a year.

[-] IMongoose@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago

Fuck standard time, all my homies hate standard time.

[-] PunnyName@lemmy.world 11 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

No, they hate switching. Switching to DST is the actual enemy. Standard only seems terrible because we don't just keep shit like normal, so when we switch back to standard, it feels fucked.

But that's because the switch to DST is the real enemy!

Also, bug catchers, Germans, and capitalism.

[-] candybrie@lemmy.world 10 points 4 days ago

Nah man. I hate standard time. Prefer it to still be dark at 7 am to dark at 4 pm.

We even passed a bill where I live (Washington state), but Congress hasn't approved it so we're stuck. Wonder what would happen if we just did it anyway. What is the U.S. government going to do, send the cops after our state legislature?

[-] IMongoose@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago

Nope, the sun setting at 4:30 blows.

[-] PunnyName@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago

But extra hour of seepies
