What if we all collectively said “fuck you” to Daylight Saving Time and stopped changing our clocks twice a year and just let the chips fall where they may.

I no longer change the wall clocks in my home. The ones that require me to stand on a chair or a ladder or whatever. They just say what they are set to year round, and my family has learned to deal.

While you are at it, set your watch to local solar time.

Sun wouldn’t come up until 9 around here, I get up usually at 4:30. I’m ok with that. But am also ok with the change. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Lotsa provinces in canada i think are tapping out of it for good. But im not too worried about DLST. What if we all collectively stopped paying taxes?

Is it really or are taxes crazy?
The worst things are the violent tropical thunderstorms. It's 8am here and there's one already one heading this way. Be here in an hour. There'll be hail the size of cricket balls, wind gusts to 150kmh and lightning strikes. There'll be more later today. And even more will roll through overnight. We'll be getting these three or four times a week for the next 3 months. Then, the stoms will stop, and the cyclones will start.
There's a strange kind of support for this. One study tracking over 42,000 admissions found heart attacks jumped 24% on the Monday after the spring switch, then fell 21% on the Tuesday after the fall change.
It's called Standard time, so that's what should be the standard, let's just go with that. This was the last change, right? In Europe, or Sweden, they talked about stopping it, but people kept talking about using "summer time", and I'm like, dude, it's called standard time because that's based on the placement of lines across the world, so for different countries randomly picking which one they go with is illogical and strange. It's based on whims and vibes instead of order and logic. Those are my two sats.
