IIRC, it began with a suggestion from Ben Franklin and others. There was also "War Time" during WWII.

Yeah, we could probably dispense with DST, at least in the developed countries.

Yeah I was reading wiki and back then ya needed the extra light time, but boy does it screw up the internal clock

I do rotating roster shift work and hop timezones for my social travel. I don't like it, but I'm pretty screwed regardless.

I don't think I could survive a rotating shift.

I've managed 5 years of it. It's (mostly) not that bad once you get used to it.

I've never been bothered by the hour shift forward or back, and I've always been puzzled by complaints from people who are bothered by it. Could this be an individual thing, perhaps, that some folks' internal clocks are more sensitive than others? I do have trouble if I have to adjust to rotating workshifts (man, do I hate those!), but not the Daylight Savings thing.

It may be an internal thing but being a graveshifter for the past umteen years is also starting to catch up to me.

Daylight savings... *hisses*
I can never remember when you have to fiddle with the clocks. I have to rely on other people telling me. xD

The keep changing the days LOL folks with those old clocks had to reset them ahead then set them back a week later

Does this mean you'll have more or less time to work on new stuff?

Like masks?

Same amount of time, just later

If they'd decrease the length of an hour by just 23 seconds we'd have a whole extra hour every weekend, not just once a year.

but after so many hours it would be xmas in July

DST is fucking useless. It needs to go away.
