I hate daylight savings time. I think it's pointless. I'm missing an hour I will not get back until Fall. It feels like I'm depositing this hour into an interest free bank. :/

My favorite holiday, hands down. Daylight Savings Time. It's not a real holiday. I don't care! I celebrate it like it is. I have ravioli and I throw confetti on my bushes. Pretty sure that won't catch on either. My friend says to me, "Don't you wish we always had Daylight Savings Time?" and I'm like, "No, friend with the exact same voice as mine, because then I wouldn't realize how great it truly is." I'd like to change Daylight Savings Time. Are you ready for this? One hour forward to /five/ hours forward! Because people with nine-to-five jobs have gotten too selfish and complacent with the daylight. They get it all the time! People that work at night, a /third/ of this country according to a survey I made up for this joke, we get robbed. I'm not asking for the whole year, just half. What does that mean? It means the sun's rising at noon. Guess who doesn't feel like a piece of shit when they get up in the morning? And, and, sexually transmitted diseases would drop off completely. Five hours forward, that means the sun is setting at two in the morning. That means, guys: you're at a bar, pumping drinks into some girl, you get to take her out into the daylight. You get to be like, "Sorry sister, I'm gonna go in alone. No! No, thank you. I will see you back in standard time where you belong!" and then she's all like, "Oh, you'll be back. They always come back. RAWRRRR!!!" And you'll be like, "Thank you Daniel, you saved me from fucking a pterodactyl!"

I hate summer calculating, but it's not pointless. A day is virtually extended by one hour, making everyone have their lights on one hour less, for example.
Haha, Pheidi, that was awesome.

I'm all for it! It saves money and it adapts the daylight to fit the times I am awake better.
Besides, I'm not sure how you could get so upset over a one hour time difference... do you cry each time you change timezones?

Sorry to get your hopes up thinking I was cool, but I can't actually take credit for that. It's a Daniel Tosh joke. Pretty sure that disqualifies me from Post of the Year too. Oh well. ^_^flagmyidol wrote:Where the hell did that come from?

I don't like daylight saving because it means that I don't get to walk to college in the dark.
I think that would be cool.

I was pretty sure I'd seen some of the Cool Guys throw around quotes and stuff on at least one occasion, and I thought you guys would catch the reference, so I didn't think I'd be taken as original. :(SlappyMcGee wrote::(

I'm really quite indifferent to daylight savings.
Though I do get presents for people, and they usually consist of watches that are regular standard time. I've also been known to screw up with the gears inside, so that, like, you set it forward an hour, and a day later, it goes back! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
AHAHA
Ha. Heh heh. Ha.
I'm such a bitch ;_;.

When someone first told about this to me when I was a kid I thought that they put all the light into a that comes from the sun in-day and at the night they take out the light from the box and use it at night to see.
On the other hand I like it, because it makes me somewhat comfortable, it makes me feel like I'm time-traveling

I like it to be dark in the evening, because it means I don't have to eat dinner outside. I like eating inside, because it's cold outside. Even in summer (New Zealand in a nut shell, folks). My parents just don't notice it.
And I like it to be sunny in the morning when I wake up, because I don't like waking up in the dark. It makes me think I'm waking up at night. But I don't do that. I wake up in the day.

No, seriously though, I dislike Daylight Savings Time. I woke up at 8, and they said it was 9, and I was like "Whoa!".

I love daylight savings. I don't get up until after the sun is out the entire year anyway. Now I get an extra hour in the evening to do stuff when it is actually light out. (Fuck the winter's 'Dark at 5:15' shit)

Oh REally! You saved money in the name of Daylight Saving?! Wow! So, how many light bulbs did that equate to? One? Two? A trillion?!!Skyling wrote:I'm all for it! It saves money and it adapts the daylight to fit the times I am awake better.

Doesn’t matter. Because all that matters is it accommodates Skyling's sleeping pattern perfectly!!

Man that's exactly what I'm talking about. It's an old custom that should've been dismissed a LOOOONG time ago, because if I'm not mistaken it actually originated as a war tactic.Might wrote:No, seriously though, I dislike Daylight Savings Time.

They should turn time back in Fall and leave it alone. Anyways, I'll bet Fall time was the original time....I think?.smartalco wrote:I love daylight savings.
