The other solution be rotating clock faces to have high noon at 1 instead of 12.
Tilted font with existing clocks.
A mess.

We already have DST for 8 months out of the year. DST is Mar, Apr, May, Jun, Jul, Aug, Sep, Oct. We're almost there. I would think that it's easier to stick with what is already the majority of the time and not have to switch for a few months in the winter.

Are you really discombobulated for 8 months of the year and only happy during the 4 winter months?

Year round DST would have sunrise here at just past 9:30 am in the winter months.... No thanks.
I would rather see them abandon DST and stay on standard time year round.

Lots of studies on how DST late-evening light effects the circadian rhythm.

I have to think that having our circadian rhythms changed twice a year is more disruptive than sticking with something. And We're already doing DST for ~66% of the year. I also think that electric light and TVs and the various ways that we access the Internet (bright light into the evening from one source or another) also impacts circadian rhythm, so having the sunset, but then having the lights, TV, computer, cell phone, etc... all running isn't allowing our rhythm to update.

I've always been a night owl. If it was up to me, I'd stay up late and sleep in. But it's not up to me. I get up at 415am half of the work week and 645am the other half of the work week. On the weekends, I usually get up 730-830.

Yeah, you folks up north have crappy winter daylight for sure. I'd still rather have more light in the afternoon than the evening.

I am hard selling the dogs on the time change. Dinner should have been 23 minutes ago. Border Collies let you know you are late....

^^^ They make a weird sound and mess-up some peoples sleep.
I have no problem with them.

[WPOZZZ]

No wonder I feel so tired today.

[pwd72s]

It's done so we who don't fly can feel a bit of jet lag?

every year they promise it's the last time.. every year it still happens... Starting to believe it's a reminder we're not in charge ;-)

I know it’s not embedded, the process seems to elude me on the phone.

This cracks me up every time we play this DLS time construct game…

I had to set the clock in my 911 today. It took me a few seconds. Easy peazy.

[stevej37]

^^^ I keep my 84 Carrera on DST all the time. It keeps perfect time, so I don't like messing with it.
I hardly ever drive it during the non dst anyway.

If there was a vote on ditching DST, I would vote NO
I like it the way it is....not that big of a problem to change the clocks twice a year.

I haven't figured out how to embed YT from my phone. I don't think it's possible unless you can trick YT to think you're on a PC.

These are funny.
