Let’s keep summer time,
It’s already dark before 18, once we’ll switch to winter time it’ll be dark before 17. The benefit is that instead of going to work and starting to work when it’s dark ,we’ll go to work when it’s dark and start to work at dawn. Not worth-it
There’s a large population where this has no meaning. The sun rises at 10 AM and sets at 1 PM in the winter here where I live. There’s nothing to gain for us, only problems and missed meetings and school mornings and extra stress on kids and parents having to adjust their sleeping routines days in advance. It sucks ass, absolutely not worth it even if we did live in the very specific latitudes where this is perfect. Down with daylight savings! ✊
Oh yes that splendid health of mine that’s greatly prospering from watching the nice daylight being wasted while I’m sitting at fucking work, where it doesn’t matter whether it’s daylight outside or not, very well knowing that it’s dark outside when I leave home to get there, as it will be only just dark outside when I get back for 4 months a fucking year, because a bunch of patronising arseholes are fiddling with the clock twice a year.
I could tell you where to shove that Flashlight of yours in order to enjoy it in a healthy way, but I don’t want to be as patronising as you and feel that if you’re so knowledgeable about health, you’ll figure that out all by yourself.
You got down voted but no-one actually counters that argument.
Why should everyone be forced to get up earlier because some of the population want to? They can already do that!
And to people who say “mORe LiGhT iN tHe evEnINgS” - for most of us in Europe it’ll only buy you a few weeks at most and then it’ll be dark by the time you finish work/school anyway.
Which is exactly my point. Summer time forces me to get up 1h earlier than normal because I can’t choose to come to work an hour late.
But with normal time, you can always choose to live on “summer time” for yourself by getting up an hour early.
Because shifting schedules by an hour randomly in the middle of the year twice is physically damaging and bad for your health, that impacts you. And maybe it’s not so bad for you, you work shifting hours, no biggie. Try to imagine that you had that regular schedule and suddenly it changed, it did bother you, perhaps make decisions based on that.
If you can’t imagine anyone else having thoughts, feelings, or emotions different from yours, consider that when you’re crossing the street the day after daylight savings time, you’re being passed by people who didn’t get enough sleep and maybe they’re like you, but they might not be, and that could directly impact you too.
It’s such a simple small change to a weird tradition that has no more purpose in our modern world than the “moonlight lamps” of the US or the penny farthing. They may be historically important or interesting, but that doesn’t mean you should be forced to use them. Change can be scary but it’s gonna be ok, daylight savings time will inevitably end up the way of the funny big wheeled bike, it’s just a matter of when and how. You can always choose to wake up early all year round.

Are you a polar bear? How can you survive with 3h of sunlight a day?
You must be new to Lemmy, 3h of sunlight is way more than most of us basement dwellers get.
Imagine getting 3 hours of sunlight a day in winter. Where I live north of the Arctic circle we get none for many weeks every winter!
I feel your username is a clue about survival lol.
Vitamin D.
Also we get like 21h of sunlight during the summer so that’s pretty neat.
I’m not sure neat is the word I’d use to describe that hellish landscape, but might be a language issue… :)
Which hellish landscape are you talking about? Remember you could be talking about someone’s home. 😜
Standard time is objectively better for health. Brighter mornings is so much more important
Fuck bright mornings, I want some daylight to do shit outside after coming home from work.
Bring a flashlight and enjoy your health

These people will happily give you scientific methods for enjoying it

Just get up like it would be summertime.
No one stops you from getting up 1h earlier in the morning.
Permanent summer time would force everyone to do it.

Most people don’t have much control over their working hours.

I feel like you’re agreeing with me but your comment is phrased like you’re disagreeing
And to add to that: It would make the winter mornings so, so much darker.
I don’t think many people consider how that would affect them.
