I don't understand why it never occurred to anyone that they could just change the times they do things instead of changing the clock

This would be a Warhammer 40K thing.
On all ships of the Imperium, using complex mathematics and ancient tomes to achieve synchronisation across the galaxy and even inside the warp, the clocks are changed by one hour twice a year, in an elaborate ritual.
No one dares ask the reason behind it, but it must be done, to appease the machine god.

Programmers and engineers everywhere agree. Fuck DST.

They won't tell you the Bell riots were actually about daylight savings time.

Imagine how fucking complex it would be arrange an appointment with somebody on another planet.

"See you at 11 o clock then?"

"Eh, we've only got 10 hours in a day. Spins like a motherfucker."

I regret to inform all of you that it is technically Daylight Saving Time and not Daylight Savings Time and now you must suffer with this information with me

I would seriously consider living in Utopia Planitia.

Like, I'll take basic crew quarters as long as my porthole has a view of the yards.

I bet the Vulcans never tried to "Save Daylight" by changing the clocks twice a year

Vulcans have an aneurysm trying to study Earth history.

It's much more logical to blow up the sun instead.

When Vulcans decide to save daylight, they build a Dyson Sphere.

No, they would have been exceedingly logical and rational, and never done anything other than Standard Time, which would have seen local noon line up as close as possible with solar noon.

Because why call it “noon” if it’s more than a half-hour out?

Idk man... Arizona??

I never thought DST was a big deal until I lived somewhere without it, and let me tell you that sunlight from 5 to 8:30 is infinitely better than 4 to 7:30. What percentage of people are awake at 4 vs 5 do you think?

All I'm saying is first light at 3 AM sucks ass

Technically we need to stay in Daylight Savings Time. I.e. what we have now with more light in the evening. We just came from standard time: more light in the morning. We just need to stop changing now.

Even with the loss of an hour, it's daylight until 9:30 pm here during the summer. I'm okay with losing an hour. What's rough is that the sun goes down at 4pm in the winter, even with the gained hour.
