Daylight Savings Time and the invention of the Clock

Why move the clock at all. The clock only displays a number that indicates where the earth rotation is according to ones location. You change that number and any activity associated with a number is then accomplished at a different place in the earths rotation. You get no more daylight hours than there already are. People in Arizona realize this and do not fuck with the time settings. There are two standards that never change. One is GMT, Greenwich Mean Time or Zulu. The other is the date line. When the earth rotation point at Zulu moves across 1200 GMT the date changes at 0000 GMT. Otherwise date and time recording is accomplished locally in reference to when it is 1200 in your locale. Cows don't give a shit. Pigs don't either. Nor do any other animals except humans. The alternative is to offer one to begin their activities an hour different from before. Or not. Since I am not tied to a time clock for employment the resetting of the clock has no affect on my body function. I just do time scheduled activities at a different number, same point in earth rotation, as before.

 

Most people are tied to a clock, work or go to school on a consistent schedule. I’d rather have more daylight after work. Daylight at 5:00 am in the summer isn’t usable time if you have a regular job or school or have kids in school. I’d be open to the permanent 30 minute switch as a compromise though that would be slightly annoying when working with international colleagues

 

Wouldn't it be nice to just ditch the clock all together and descend into chaos, lol

 

Like what? I need examples

 

I love daylight saving time...but think it's done too early now. I would go back to 2006. The last time the change was in early April and late October.

 

You shouldn't do this. Kids today can't read an unmarked version much less this one.

 

My kids can. They can also make change and right in cursive too. lol

 

I don't think they even teach cursive in elementary school anymore.

Personally, I hate the whole time change thing. It messes me up for a week. The later daylight is great, but moving back to standard time with it getting dark so early sucks.

 

I can't believe I put the wrong right/write

 

Most schools don't.

When I had a set schedule it used to bother me more but at the moment my time is very flexible so it really doesn't matter to me what the numbers on the clock say. I could get up and start my day when it's dark or wait for the sun to come up if I want and I can make dinner around sunset, regardless of how early or late the numbers say it is. Sometimes I go through long phases where I stay awake all night and sleep the day away. I don't know if that's any better than having to adjust but it is my life for now.

 

It would be nice to follow a more natural rhythm...got to sleep when you're tired, get up when you wake up...eat when you are hungry....not to model my life around what time I need to start work.

 

you can slide on this....weer all frends hear.

 

Yeah but that stupid mistake made me too embarrassed to admit that I homeschooled my kids, lol

 

Bah....the other day I wrote subjugate instead of subrogate. Duh.
