I Hate Daylight Savings Time

It is currently 11:28 A.M. on the east coast of the United States, November 1, 2020. About 10 hours ago if you were awake you like me saw the time go back from 2:00 A.M. to 1:00 A.M., now this was expected and has been going on for the last 100 plus years in about 70 countries around the world.

This phenomenon of time moving back an hour in the fall and going forward an hour in the spring is what has become known as Daylight Savings Time.

Here’s a video explaining the history of Daylight Savings Time and where it is and isn’t used around the world.

Do you see how unnecessary this whole thing is? Do you see how much of the world doesn’t adhere to this nonsense? Do you see that a person wanting to have more time with his birds and more work hours during a World War are why we are here?

Parts of Arizona don’t adhere to this nonsense and a few more states are considering ending Daylight Savings Time as well, but let me go full conspiracy or third eye for a second.

If we are arbitrarily deciding to move up or back an hour that must mean that time in itself is a social construct and because of that time is not real. I hate knowing that it is now 10:43 but the time says 11:43 and I can’t do anything about it. While I’m on the subject of how Daylight Savings Time points to the arbitrary nature of time, how do we actually know a whole hour is 60 minutes or a day 24 hours?

See, stop doing Daylight Savings Time and you won’t have me pondering questions like that. I hate Daylight Savings Time and you should too. If you do sign this Change organization petition to abolish it lol. As you can see, us and the 75,000 others are tired of DST.
