   STOP SAVING DAYLIGHT
   
   * CLOCKS WERE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE CHANGED TWICE A YEAR
   
   * YEARS OF 'SAVING' yet NO NET GAIN OF DAYLIGHT

   * Sunset keeps getting earlier by a few minutes per day, which is sad but we can adjust to it, but then BAM we are all supposed to change the clocks so that it's suddenly A FULL HOUR EARLIER and it's PITCH DARK AFTER WORK what the hell.
   
   "Hello I would like my saved daylight back please"
   
   They have played us for absolute fools.

     I would love permanent dst, but because I have kids I'd also like to abolish it so they'd sleep better

     @ssfckdt @jef tell that to the various legislators that have tried over the years to make DST permanent (instead of standard time) 😠

     @jef this but unironically though

     Daylight savings time is unnatural, the sun is supposed to be at its highest point at noon, and that's impossible under dst

     Oh it's not that at all. I prefer to be outside when possible and I cannot do that for 2/3 of the year because it gets dark shortly after I finish work.

     @BowsacNoodle @ssfckdt @jef so determined not to get up earlier that you'd distort the standard for keeping time 😠

     @jef To make summertime sound less tempting, I've started to refer to it as nazi-time 😅 Because in Norway we got it when Germany invaded us during WW2 (that wasn't the first time we used it though, so not entirely correct, but good enough for me!).

     My proposed slogan is "The war is over, abolish nazi-time!" ✊
