no more daylight savings

Why stop there? Can we also make the calendar 13 months, 28 days each? We can name the new month “Smarch.”

Wait... just slow down. My birthday is on the winter solstice. Does it stay there and I have to learn a new date or does it move to the new Dec. 21st... which would be the old Xmas Eve but did Xmas move to the new Dec 25???? Which would put it four days before New Year's Eve which can't move. Can it?

So say this passes, the Republicans are going to mess it up somehow like by calling it Trump Time.

It is currently 9:00 Central Trump Time, do you know where your kids are?

 

[gohawks50]

Cool. If it passes we'll see just how much the sun effects our lives in the winter.

I think it's probably pretty impactful.

Somehow we never learn from our past.

I'm fine with time zones, but states shouldn't split. The entire state should be in the same time zone.

What time zone would Tennessee fall in?

 

[Tom Paris]

Snowflake = I just can’t mentally cope with the clock changing an hour.

do these people blow their brains out in airports when they fly to a different time zone?

I don’t care either way but concern about kids walking to school in the dark in the winter is pretty valid.

 

[Rifler]

Exactly,... Illinois sure, Tennessee not so much.

 

[GesterHawk]

What about walking home in the dark?

 

[DFSNOLE_rivals]

What about walking home in the dark?

I live 75 miles west of the time line in CST. During the shortest days of winter, it gets dark around 4:30-5:00. The schools let out well before then.

What are the school hours in Iowa?

No clue

[QChawks]

What are the school hours in Iowa?

varies

our K-8 private school is 7:30-2:30 but the public schools are 8:30-3:30

 

[GesterHawk]

Probably with Donny's good friend Jeffy.

You should know by now I sometimes play the long con for jokes. But I was surprised it took so long for someone to pick up what I was putting down.

 

[JayDeeSC]

When the hell am I supposed to change my furnace filters now???

 

[QChawks]

bill passes in house

 

[CUT93]

This is so dumb. If you can’t handle an hour time change 2x a year, you suck and I hope you hit a deer on the way to work, on a motorcycle.

If they don't change, I hope you hit one on the way home. See how that works?

 

[cigaretteman]

If you are going to keep one time going all year, it should be standard time. There is a reason it is called that, and it worked for decades before DST took over the country.

Florida voted to get rid of it, but had to wait on Congress

Where do you live that is dark at 4:00 in the winter?

 

[JWolf74]

Azz backwards?

 

[HoggI74]

Fortunately for me the Tri-County all falls within one time zone...

Why would a deer be riding a motorcycle, and where is it working?

 

[ThorneStockton]

This would be top 3 in my favorite of Trump's legislative achievements.

 

[GesterHawk]

Where do you live that is dark at 4:00 in the winter?

I have lived a bunch of places.
But where is personal. Sorry.

 

[GesterHawk]

Also, latitude factors in as much if not more than longitude.

 

[gohawks50]

Please

 

[gohawks50]

Are you willing to share the state you live in or the latitude? I live in SW Iowa and it's never dark at 4 pm winter or summer. Also time zone matters as well as latitude.

 

[TC_Nole_OX]

Before DST and standardized time zones, Americans lived at a much more localized pace where days were strictly governed by sunrise and sunset rather than a universally ticking clock.

I guess you guys want to go back to working sunrise to sunset

They want to go back in time as much as possible. Any progress we have made since the end of the civil war, they want it rolled back.

Go luv yourself! I hate springing forward. Takes me at least two weeks to adjust. I love falling back, my body feels like I'm gaining time and precious sleep for well over a week. Don't hate the playa, hate the game!

 

[Wobmam Rulez!]

But 12 can be divided by 2, 3, 4, and 6, but 13 is prime.

Optimus.

I have lived in places far further north in the Continental US and there are days where it is dark at 4:00.

Not many places get dark at 4:00 or earlier.



Contrast that with the number of places that would be still be dark at 8 am when most students are arriving at school with Daylight Saving Time.

Close friends like Don call him Jefé.
