Do You Like Daylight Savings Time?

[MOVIEGEEK]

Personally I don't.
Don't forget to set your clocks one hour ahead on Sunday.

[dmuk]

We set ours 1 hour ahead last weekend, it's a bit of a pain.

[Epicurus8a]

I really don't care. Maybe we should all set our clocks forward by 1/2 hour (instead of 1 hour) and call it quits for the rest of eternity.

[waheed]

In the UK, the clocks already went forward one hour last Sunday (26 March)

Dont mind it much cos most of the clocks in my house are radio controlled (including my watch) so they set themselves automatically.

[guns1inger]

Personally. I love it. I'd rather we kept the clocks ahead.

[lordsmurf]

Whatever.

[Faustus]

No and I don't like time zones either.

Agree and agree... I'd rather have daylight in the evening than the morning. Better for my work schedule.

[MeDiCo_BrUjO]

We should use Internet time and have the same time all over the world.

[Doramius]

If it were not for the railroads & farmers, we wouldn't need or have daylight savings time or timezones. I agree it should all go Greenwich and be done with it. We already lost several days due to the change from the Julian to the Gregorian calendars. That was actually a correct move, but this daylight & timezone thing is just Bull.

I love it...but then again you wankers have to work all summer...I'll be thinkin about you...45 days and counting down

That is a total of 45 days, we have a spring break coming up on April 10th...5 days...then good friday is in there somewhere...plus a teacher workday and one other holiday I think...plus I think I've caught the "Fairway Flu" so I might have to take a few days off for that....(I don't just miss work, that's why I have 115 sick days in my sick bank).

....now now don't get too upset, I'll have to be back to work August 23rd...back to my 300 minutes a day work schedule...sure it doesn't pay the best, but in mid July I'll be making the same amount of money for riding around in a golf cart, drinking beer and cussing that little white ball as I would if I were teaching 6 periods, and the best part...I don't have anywhere to be the next day either...

Maybe but you still gotta answer to someone. Not I says thecoalman.

[yoda313]

I don't really care one way or another.

[Dv8ted2]

We need a hell no option. I wish they would stick with something and leave the clocks alone.

[BJ_M]

i though they were doing away with it in the usa ?

what is goofy is Newfoundland time , which is 1/2 hour off the rest of the world ... and isnt even used everywhere in Newfoundland

[yoda313]

Nope in fact they were trying to expand it.

[rallynavvie]

I like it if only for the fact that some of the local coffee shops give out free espresso shots into regular coffee for that Sunday and Monday after the switch back up

[MOVIEGEEK]

Nope in fact they were trying to expand it.

Yep,next year it starts a month earlier and lasts a month later.
Arizona,Hawaii and parts of Indiana don't use DST.

[Dv8ted2]

I think the whole idea is silly. There are only twenty four hours in a day and the sun must go down sometime.

[Cobra]

But the "time" is different. The sunrise and sunset hasn't changed, but we have organised our activities to allow for "lighter evenings" which is brilliant in my opinion.

[yoda313]

[qutoe="moviegeek"] Indiana don't use DST. [/quote]

Nope I think I just read they adopted to switch over to all of it. Or something like that. Some state that only had a portion adjust to the switch is now switching over.

[Doramius]

Here's an even quirkier question. Why are there 12 hour clocks when there are 24 hours in the day?

[SquirrelDip]

I really don't care. Maybe we should all set our clocks forward by 1/2 hour (instead of 1 hour) and call it quits for the rest of eternity.

I like this option...

Maybe we should just keep setting them forward an hour avery 6 months and screw the setting back. Should make things interesting...

I don't think I've ever seen a 24 hour dial watch before. I think I've seen a clock though

[Treebeard]

I hate daylight savings

In true honesty, you're close to an answer. Though the 12 hour system is shown to be in use beforehand, watch gears in early made models could not be made small enough to create a 24 hour watch. I'm guessing there might be a possibility for clock gears in early made clocks, but no clue for sure.

I also know that early Sumaria used their thumb to count the finger segments on their hands and they split 12 points among the night & day at the equinox. But the hole in that is 6PM & 6AM would be the 12<>12, unless they use their starting point when the sun is directly overhead, which would be noon. I know Babylonians gave us the 60 minute & 60 second breakdowns, as they used a 60 base counting system. the 12 hours system would mesh well with that as 60 can be divided by 12. Also, the 7 day calendar is created by religious sects because of creation. Other calendars had 4, 9 or 10 days to a week.

Can you imagine if we all decided to go to a metric clock? 100 hours to a day, 100 minutes to an hour, 100 seconds to a minute.

that would be a job for Zapper

Zapper wants to be king of the world, and he can have it. I'm god, so therefore I can will it if I want. If I don't like what he does later on, I'll just mutate his kin into some new species of animal and strike Zapper with lightning. Not killing him though. I am a merciful god, after all.
