End of Daylight Saving Time

[micropolitan guy]

Always a downer, I hate it getting dark at 5 p.m.

 

[Here me roar]

Eastern Standard Time sucks donkey balls

 

[2muchcoffeeman]

It’s better than having the sun rise at 9 a.m.

 

[MileHigh]

Have hated it all my life.

Move it ahead, leave it ahead. Daylight saving time year-round.

And then in December the sun rises at or after 9 a.m.

 

[Bubbler]

I love falling back.

Who cares? We're so soft. There are parts of the world, whose people are much happier than ours, who get 4 or 5 hours of daylight in the winter. The sun comes up at 10 am or even laterr. It's fine. But you know what those countries have that ours doesn't? Lots of lighting and lots of sidewalks. America let developers take over and there's not enough lights and there's not enough sidewalks. EST can diaf.

Sunrise at 9:00 a.m. would be fine if we had more sidewalks? I think I missed a segue.

Countries where there's more darkness, are more pedestrian friendly and their cities are so well lit. We have let developers guide what this country looks like, and it looks like a dark place. There's no sidewalks. I think if it you could walk out of your house at 7:00 or 8:00 in the morning and it was well lit and you had a place to walk that you wouldn't mind it was still dark.

I spent a lot of winter days in Denmark and Sweden, where the sidewalks are really wide and everything is super-pedestrian friendly. Sunrise at 9 am still sucks.

 

[Cosmo]

For once, I'm not complaining. Have a 6:30 a.m. flight tomorrow. The extra hour of sleep will be crucial.

 

[TheSportsPredictor]

Worst thing about it is I gotta wait an extra hour for football tomorrow.

 

[BYH 2: Electric Boogaloo]

I love falling back.

We should do this every Saturday night. Sure, the noon sunsets would be weird, but not as weird as the midnight sunsets 12 weeks later.

 

[Roscablo]

I've said it before, I'm a standard time guy. I blame my time in Arizona, which was great not having to worry about this crap. I think I'd hate 9 a.m. sunrises more than 4:30 sunsets, but just keep it as something with no time changes. It's insane we still do it.

 

[Gym Beam]

I don't wake up until after 9 am most days, so who needs sun?

Listened to a bit of an interview with a scientist on NPR today who said it would be better for our yoot to stay on standard time and have the sunshine in the morning to help them be awake. Also said school should start later, which is something I have always thought.

I live in a very well-lit area with plenty of sidewalks, and even wear a very bright-lit flashing vest, and I still regularly almost get killed by dumbass drivers when I run before sunrise.

That problem would exist no matter when it gets dark/light.

And the sun sets at 4:30 p.m.

No.

 

[Shropshire Slasher]

I too would not mind year-round DST. As far south and west as I live, it won't get dark-dark till 6 or so but that is still too damn early.

 

[wicked]

My opinion on this has shifted, slightly, now that I work an 8-4. But I still hate early sunsets.

 

[Baron Scicluna]

Probably have said it before, but in college, I loved falling back because it meant the bars stayed open an extra hour. And likewise, hated spring forward
