How the fuck does daylight savings work? How can we just create a new hour?

That is all

you subtract the "created" hour in the fall. so it's really just a shift. it's meant to make mornings less dark in the winter when there's way less daylight in the northerm hemisphere.

By basically forgetting an hour exist in the fall and then remembering in the spring. I was okay with it until an earthquake changed the Earth's title a bit. As a kid, it got dark in the summer at 9pm. No it doesn't until 10pm. It sucks.

date and time is just whatever we agree it is, social construct.

ask a dog what year it is

DST is a great way of understanding a person's intelligence and empathy. If I really want to get to know someone, I find asking them their opinion about DST and more importantly, why they have that opinion, tells me more than spending hundreds of hours with them. They don't need to have the same opinion that I have but they do need to demonstrate logical thinking and if they deviate away from it, an empathic reason why.
All of that aside, I still think it is funny that Canadians hated George Bush so much but when he changed the date for DST to end, they meekly went along with it despite claiming to be a sovereign state who does thinks better than the US. They claimed it was pragmatic to match the US but lack of pragmatism hasn't stopped them from other forms of virtue signaling their moral superiority over the US.

why don't you like DST? sunrise is at significantly different times throughout the year in northern US especially Canada. in my view, work should start around an hour after sunrise ideally all year. in the winter, commutes home will be in the dark but at least people's sanity can stay due to waking up when the sun is coming up

If DST is real, then time means nothing, therefore "being late for work" is a non-crime

Nowhere in that post did I say if I do or do not like DST. I only said it was a good way to understand people's thought processes. My thoughts on DST, which are tangential to the points in that post, are more complex than just like or don't like.

why don't they daylight saving on the doomsday clock?

ok then what do you think of me?

That's why winter is standard and summer is daylight savings, because we shift for the winter.
You're a stable genius, Harry.

>>16701855
They do. That's why it stays in sync with your clock.

>>16702153
why does it matter which is "standard"? it's all relative

The winter "standard" is closer to solar noon being at clock noon. Because we use time zones instead of true local time, most places away from the equator rarely have solar noon and clock noon coincide.
Where I live, solar noon happens around 1:40pm, meaning we're nearly two hours off of where we should be. Solar noon never coincides with clock noon. The closest we get is about fifteen minutes off.

AM means before noon. PM means after noon. Noon means when the Sun is at its highest point in the sky for that day. Though modern convention is that 12:00 "noon" is PM, actual astronomical noon is neither AM nor PM.
We've abandoned all of that for convenience and commerce. Plus a bit of idiocy. Daylight Saving Time makes things even more out of alignment with the scientific standard, which is why winter is considered standard and the majority of the year is not.
As a side note, by convention we think of midnight as 12:00 AM but the instant of midnight, like noon, is neither AM nor PM. It's not even part of any specific day. It's the division between two days, not part of either. Simply calling it 12:00 AM is much more convenient for our digital systems.

We're time traveling through the wonder of science young one.

who cares that noon is the middle of the sun cycle. again, it's about having the optimal waking routine for the majority of people. you don't want people commuting in the dark to work and you don't want the sun coming up hours before work. therefore, the sun should be pushed forward an hour in the spring as to not screw up circadian rhythms.

>Where I live
Oh look, a local reporter.
>solar noon happens around 1:40pm
And he is an idiot who thinks he's on standard time right now.

>>16703246
>I am once again conflating local noon, standard time, and daylight savings time.
Local reporter on the ball right here.

>>16701184 (OP)
also Americans and Europeans change the time on different dates, so it is good to have more clocks activated

>>16704271
I only need 14 calendars.
Why do I need 96 clocks?

>>16703228
>true local time
You mean, personal time, right? It can't be otherwise. True noon follows the observer?
This will work out great on The Moon.

Daylight savings is the third stupidest thing the US government has ever done. The stupidest was creating an independent central bank followed by fiat currency.
