@esanzi If it’s dark after 8:45am in some places they should just flip to the next time zone to the west

Does this daylight savings bill mean it will be dark in some places til 9 am during winter? Because that seems very bad and dumb.
English
@RexonFootball @maxtmcc What the fuck are you talking about pal. The total length of sunlight is DIRECTLY related to how far north you are. In the winter the days are shorter, and the summer days are longer. This effect is more pronounced when you move north. I can’t believe I have to explain this
English
English
@wx_kade I’m holding out hope that if this becomes law, Indiana will revert to pre-2006 CDT (EST) and be done with it
English
I would enjoy having late sunsets in the winter, but me being in Central Indiana on the very edge of Eastern time sunrise would be 9 AM which is absurd.

HUGE breaking news today! The House of Representatives passes to keep Daytime Savings Time all year long. It's going to the Senate for final approval. Might actually be happening. No more getting up at 2am to change those clocks. And no more confusion twice a year trying to adjust.
English
@djmixicon @maxtmcc “Hurr durr majority opinion says this” well what if the majority is retarded? I would prefer sun in the morning because it helps me actually wake up. Countless studies agree with that
English
@StephenFleming There is actually a way to fix this. If you’re unhappy with the amount of sunlight in the winter (regardless of what the stupid clock says) then move farther south
English
The people who are in favor of year-round Daylight Saving Time don’t actually want year-round DST. They just want more sunshine in the winter, period. Sorry, kids. Until we can adjust the axial tilt of the Earth, that’s not happening.

This is exactly what happened in 1974 -- we have tried permanent daylight saving time before, and the House repealed it after a few months by a vote of 383-16 because it was widely hated. But some people refuse to learn history. joshbarro.com/p/this-week-in…

@IcyVert Dawg sunset times are an hour earlier for all these cities on standard time, as it has been for a long time
English
@c_hunter_r @BradOnMessage Alaska is far enough north, that there is way too much variance between winter/summer for time zone to matter at all. Just give it one time zone
English
@BradOnMessage This map would be better. Maroon gets added to CST, Mustard to MST, dark green to PST. Hawai'i gets divided into two time zones, with Oahu/Kaua'i six hours behind and Maui/Big Island five hours behind.
English
Here's what our time zones looked like before television got involved. Might not be screwing with this bill if we had kept them this way:

US House passes bill to make House make daylight saving time permanent year-round. Now heads to the US Senate The vote was 308-117
English
Then go to Atlantic time. Or move farther south. People crying about this have never been to Alaska or Iceland in the summer when the sun is up until 11pm and rises at like 3:30am. Even Northern Europe. How do these countries manage to live without killing themselves about when the sun comes up?
The US just unfortunately lies at such a latitude where it’s ALMOST to the tropics, but not quite there
English
no one needs or wants a 4:40AM sunrise
minenotchos@minenotchos
@courtneyknill No one ever posts the earliest summer sunrise graphic for standard time...
English
Not applicable here. The reason that saying works is it’s expecting people to adopt *something* at scale. This context just means if enough people complain about it at a job where 50 people are employed they can just very easily and painlessly change when the work day/shift starts. Not everyone has to do it
Better yet, if they want, some employers could have “winter hours” where they start earlier during the winter months, exactly like existing time shifts, and people can enjoy their precious cold afternoon sun
English
@TheJeffSchlegel Then why doesn’t your employer just shift the work schedule on the DST days. Why does the entire official clock have to shift at all
English
Nah. Give me the extra daylight after work. Depressing as hell in the Winter to stop working at 5 or 530 and it's already dark. Awesome to have 3-4 hours of sunlight after work during the Summer.
Mark Allan Bovair@markallanbovair
9:00 AM Sunrise is more insane than most people realize. That's 1.5 class periods into school before the sun even rises. 2 hours into most blue collar workdays. That extra hour of daylight (in cold winter when everyone is inside anyway) from 5-6p isn't worth it at all.
English
@GuiermoGalapag1 @tunatweets I’ve been in Northern European countries where the sun doesn’t fully set in the summer. It’s just a reality of higher latitudes. Don’t like it, then move south
English
@Kektimus @tunatweets I meant twilight. I would be up to see it any mornings as a teenager.
English
I’m so glad I live in Arizona, where noon is determined by when the sun is highest (permanent ST).
Sorry if you don’t like Earth’s tilt. Live in the southern hemisphere if you’re that pressed. Stop whining.

The U.S. House will vote this week on whether or not to make daylight saving time permanent. Essentially, we would not change the clocks again (no "falling back"). As I've mentioned over the years, below are 3 options and how they would look in Indianapolis, IN: current system, year-round daylight saving time & year-round standard time. Year-round daylight saving time would result in a 9:02 AM sunrise and 6:23 PM sunset on the winter solstice.
English
@GuiermoGalapag1 @tunatweets It says in the picture that sunrise was (and will be) at 5:15
English
@Kektimus @tunatweets I hated that crap. The sub was up at 4:30 in the summer.
English
@realitybites555 Standard time is the way. But if daylight time is upon us, I hope Indiana just reverts to permanent central daylight time, as it was before 2006
English
I’m so angry that this is actually happening.
Winter already sucks enough without delaying sunrise for an extra hour.
You people have no idea what you’ve done by demanding this change.

To the people celebrating this report back to me in December and tell me how you feel then
Peyton Galyean@wxwithpeyton
The House has passed a bill to make Daylight Saving Time permanent. If this passes the Senate and our President, we wouldn’t notice much difference in the summer, but we would in the winter. How do you feel about this? ⏰☀️
English
@BlakeSNeff The states hanging on the west edge of a time zone should just shift to the next one and be done with it. Michigan and Indiana can just as easily adopt central daylight time (EST) permanently, which at least for Indiana is exactly what the status quo was before 2006
English
*sigh*
Standard time. STANDARD time, you heathens!

BREAKING: House votes 308-117 to make daylight saving time permanent, sending the bill to the Senate.
English
Sun in the evening is FAR superior. I’d rather get off work and have at least a little daylight so it doesn’t feel like I live in a cave for an entire 4 months

@JamesSinko I mean seriously. You could live in Berlin and get 7.5 hours of sunlight in winter. Or Reykjavík and get 4. The only way to change your winter sunlight is to MOVE SOUTH
English
@JamesSinko If you don’t like when the sun sets in winter, then move farther south
English
They've tried this before and likely will never be brought up to vote in the Senate. I wish we would stop changing clocks. This would mean no more sunsets at 3:45pm in the winter! #mewx

BREAKING: The House has passed legislation to make Daylight Saving Time permanent nationwide, ending the twice-a-year clock changes by a 308-117 vote. Backed by President Trump, the bill now heads to the Senate. If approved and signed into law, Americans would no longer have to change their clocks.

@speedtapewx @burgwx @ATLAreaWx I can rest easy knowing Indiana will likely revert to permanent central standard time, like it did all the way up until 2006
English
@burgwx @ATLAreaWx What could fix a lot of complaints with permanent DST OR standard time is putting the east coast on Atlantic time and moving the rest of the timezones west. It would make more sense, our timezones are arguably too large
English
Just a few apolitical things to consider here:
1. We already tried this back in 1974, when permanent DST had 79% public support per polling - but rapidly became unpopular after very late winter sunrises, and was cancelled within 2 years

@menaughtonLB @profstonge Indiana did until 2006. Should have never switched
English
@profstonge Why not just leave standard time as it us?
Arizona and Hawaii do it and it doesn’t hurt anyone there.
English
Permanent DST passed the House but is DOA in the Senate because Southern states want more afternoon light but Northern states don't want kids to go to school in the dark.
So my modest proposal: permanent DST but midwest and northeast shift one zone West.
Everybody gets exactly what they want 🙌
