Yeah this really needed a watermark…
As a software engineer in the UK it’s particularly infuriating that half the year the local time is the same as UTC (server time) and the other half it’s not. So, I have to second guess the time every time I read it because my brain doesn’t like the lack of consistency
The best part is how different countries start and end daylight savings time on different days
DST > ST
leaving the clocks alone all year > fucking with them.
If DST is so good, why isn’t it STANDARD…?
I mean, it is in use for 3/4 of the year. (That’s 0.75 for you metric twats who don’t understand fractions)
Why would using metric cause someone not to understand fractions?
I don’t know. You’ll have to ask them.
All I know is they whine a lot when you mention 1/4 cup or 3/16 of an inch, and seem to think it’s really important to be able to measure a 2000km car trip to mm precision.
As someone who lived half my life in a place without dst, I can objectively say standard time rules, saving time drools.
When it gets dark super early? Lame as fuck. Unless you’re talking about Arizona, fuck that.
