    You can get sunlight after work without harming people’s health.

      Your mom can get sunlight after work without harming people’s health, bro.

      Really though, as I understand it, it’s the time change that causes issues. Best of both worlds, just stay in DST forever. No increase in mortality after time changes, but we all get an extra hour of daylight in the evening.

  Man, screw DST. I just want my room to have a chance to cool down a bit from the blazing sun and incessant climbing temperatures before I go to bed.

    Close the curtains; I want sunlight after I get out of work.

    If the climate is that intolerable, move. Don’t live in a monument to man’s arrogance.

      I wish it was that simple.

      Most large (and probably majority of small) cities experience this phenomena to some degree, most noticeable are ones that have aging architecture that wasn’t built to accommodate the ever growing heat.

      It’s not even a question of using blackout blinds or putting UV reflective film on your windows or painting the roof white or even running the AC for as long as your wallet will allow you to.

      The walls get hot. The ground gets hot. The roofs get hot. The air itself is hot. And it’s getting hotter (referring to the last decade+ as a trend)

      Any reflective surface gets progressively more aggressive (glare and redirected heat) and anything that is not reflective is absorbing the heat at unprecedented levels the stronger the sun rays get, any dwellings not specifically engineered to deal with any of these heat phenomena are subjecting its dwellers to the consequences of not having any policies that would force these dwellings to be habitable in summer months.

      This isn’t a problem that can be solved by simply packing my shit and moving, this is a systemic problem that we’re (more or less world wide) failing to address since the whole global warming thing is not being actioned at nearly the urgency it warrants.

      With all the above said, there’s also the question of job availability and housing affordability, which is adding extra layers to this already delightful shit cake.

      In short: It’s not that I don’t want to live with the penguins and caribou as my neighbours, it’s that I can’t afford to.

      The irony of this comment is that one of the few sane things Arizona does is staying on standard time year-round.

      Totally, all you arrogant co-conspirators need to move above the 46th parallel. Perfect plan!

  TIL DST happens at different times for different areas… Something I never really considered.

  People who don’t like DST are just self centered.

  They don’t like it because moving the clocks by an hour twice a year slightly inconveniences them

  • lengau@midwest.social ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

    Yes the increased health risks and danger to children are very inconvenient to me personally.

    Is there any benefit to DST? I can’t think of anything.

      Light after work. I say spring ahead and stay sprung.

    If you’re a farmer, all your animals don’t know about dst. You have to change your whole daily routine now.

    Welp, I guess 93% of the people in British Columbia are self-centred, because that’s how many of us voted to end DST. Thankfully, our government finally decided to stop waiting for the US to follow suit and we’ve now ended it.

    If you like DST, just be aware that you aren’t in the majority; you’re the outlier.

  One global time. If the sun rises at 7, good for your area, if it rises at 10, guess what, school and work start at 11

  Unless you live near a pole in which case this is just half the year
