I also think, like arguing whether or not pineapple is an acceptable pizza topping, people online have made it out to be a way more dramatic thing than it actually is. Yes and no. Most of the online discourse does roughly boil down to "I lost an hour of sleep my life is literally over," which is obviously silly an exaggerated, but there are significant, real consequences associated with the change, like an increase in accidents of all sorts (some of which are fatal). There are bigger problems, but it's still definitely an issue worth solving. Muscles posted... We should end on an extra hour of sleep though, fuck it if we lose an hour and don't even get the hour back Revelation34 posted... No. The earlier time is better. It's literally one hour. 0.01% of one year, let alone the 40-50 that are likely left in your lives. In the grand scheme of things, the amount of time gained or lost is utterly negligible. VampireCoyote posted... Time is not affected by human laws Our interpretation of it, however, consists exclusively of human laws. There's no such thing as absolute time. Every single measurement of time is measured relative to something else, and each and every one of us can and does change that frame of reference multiple times a day. Daylight Savings is just another example of changing that frame of reference. captpackrat posted... It sucks because it was just starting to get light while I do my morning exercise, and now it'll be pitch black again for a month or two. This is the absolute worst. I'm relatively lucky in that my position within the time zone and the time that I usually get up now mean I don't have to deal with it, but for the couple of years where that wasn't the case, it took me literally weeks to recover from how much that threw off my circadian rhythm. --- This is my signature.
