Some traditions are simply stupid and should be discarded.
This is one example.

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

My friends dad died of a heart attack like 2 days we sprang forward for daylight savings time. Apparently there is a statistical correlation with increased heart attacks during this time likely due to the lost hour of sleep. I'm sure he would have eventually died of a heart attack because of his lifestyle, but I'm quite convinced it was a part of what caused it to happen on that day.
Who makes money off of Daylight Savings Time?
I don't know, but I know someone is making a fortune off of it somehow and I want to know who. It's the only explanation
The real question is, how can the rich make money off of changing this? As soon as someone figures that out, I'm sure it will change.
Whoever has a business full of hourly employees that are working during 1-3am and lose an hour of pay.
God yes. I don't even care which side of DST we land on. As long as we stop changing the damn clock.
Today has been the absolute worst. Daylight savings shift coinciding with my job becoming absolute trash and my idiotic self doing a Sunday funday yesterday.
Well that was a non article.
Committing to standard time has health benefits and allows us to end the biannual tug of war between our biological and alarm clocks,” said AMA Trustee Alexander Ding, M.D., M.A, MBA.
So are they saying committing to standard time, or simply committing to a single time?
If they are saying Standard is better that Daylight Savings, then they are complete morons. And it isnt because I like one over the other. The fact is IT DOESNT FUCKING MATTER. Just pick one.
Daylight is constantly changing, depending on what latitude you are in. In the northern hemisphere millions of people will gain over an hour of daylight this month alone. Your rhythms are effected by people fucking with the clock, and that is it.
Standard is better than advanced, which is better than switching.
There's a lot of things that I don't like about Arizona but the abolishment of moving to and from DST has been such a great thing to have.
It’s pretty obvious the American government doesn’t care about its citizens health. Sick citizens = more shareholder profits for their scam corporations

Yeah i'm not trusting American anything at this moment.
We should just turn our clocks back to 2019.
The good old days, when the fire hose would occasionally turn off and we could breathe and participate in folksy traditions like complaining about the clocks.
