I never got why we bothered to turn the clock back to "normal" in the winter. It's clearly better the other way, everyone should do it this spring and never look back.

Also "Daylight Savings Time" is a stupid and clunky phrase. We call it summertime contra wintertime.

Uhhh, do we change time this weekend? Because I'm pretty sure we don't. The last DST thread was already weird like that. It was weeks early or late, I forgot. What's up with that. Explain NPF, I demand knowledge.

If you ever need to confirm that the world is run by complete psychotic a-holes just remember that they steal an hour out of your weekend at the beginning of spring, every year.

I think we change the 25th of march in the EU.

So, based on the video: Ideally, the entire world should follow DST all year round?

...As, you know, I'd prefer to actually see the sun in the evenings after work, even in the winter. Nothing to do with going outside or enjoying nature, everything to do with getting sunshine.

As I live in Michigan it apparently has some use in agricultural applications. Mostly I think it's a load of horseshit, because they stole an hour of sleep from me Sunday morning thus making me go to work an hour earlier than I wanted to.

And yet, likely, you didn't work much later than normal, right?

I did actually but that had nothing to do with DST. I was shorthanded that night.
