@SaysSimulation no i'll just tell them no and they'll listen

If my kid said they wanted to become a vegetarian I would just say no you can't
English
Maybe it's just me but I really don't see the problem with the current system.
A 1 hour time change twice a year to get longer summer nights and brighter winter mornings seems like a great deal to me.

The DST vs Standard thing is really a war of chronotypes & geography. The “kids need to play outside late” stance as common as “I don’t want my kids to go to school in the dark”… so they cancel. Splitting the difference not an option for same reason there’s no viable 3rd party.

@GenesisFaith143 @RogerSeheult Also I just googled one single place - singapore has a latest sunrise time of 7:15. So uh what? It might be late relative to other latitutes but they have a ton of sun to spare being so close to the equator.
English
@TheRingOfGyges @RogerSeheult According to Google some of the countries with the latest rising sun have some of the world’s healthiest populations.
Google mentions Spain and Singapore as an example.

The bottom line that proponents of daylight saving time don’t understand is that there’s only one time of the day that sunlight has a beneficial impact on our circadian rhythm which impacts the risk of obesity, diabetes, and disease, and that is precisely the time of day that daylight saving time takes it away.
Because of that this switch would increase the risk of all of those diseases as multiple studies have already shown based on placement within a time zone

@GenesisFaith143 @RogerSeheult Researchers don’t compare city to city because of serious confounders they compare the east and west side of a timezone where lifestyle is more similar. Google boundary discontinuity design
English
@RobJohn20131536 @RogerSeheult most workplaces and school have a startime of 8 plus or minus. They *could* start later but they don’t
English
@RogerSeheult What are you even talking about? Time is just a construct and does not affect when you can choose to expose your body to sunlight
English
@vhexcellentmail @RogerSeheult Making it worse is still bad. And depends on your latitude.
English
@RogerSeheult If you have to be anywhere by 8 you are already waking up when it's dark in the winter
English
@GenesisFaith143 @RogerSeheult Actual measured data on populations show worse health outcomes for people with later sunrises so that’s not representative of most evidence we see
English
@RogerSeheult That is incorrect. Most studies show that the type of light emitted at day break (no matter the time of daybreak), is what is beneficial and carries health benefits.
English
@sp6runderrated Ya you can always pay a premium to live in a neighborhood that’s ‘aesthetic’ if that’s so important but don’t block other people from the choice of a high rise.
English
Missing middle is a stupid idea. It requires fighting nimbys on a block-by-block, project-by-project basis for YEARS.
Even if you hate tall buildings you should reject it because the country is plainly not going to tear down 70% of a city ala Haussman for an additional 2 storys.
Fudge_🌎@FudgeSmith111
The obsession with the "missing middle" has to die. The reality is that LA, NYC, CHI, San Fran, etc need a bunch of apartment blocks built around public transit to actually start building enough housing to meet demand.
English
@XCarcallaX @txsalth2o Late sunrises mean more SSRIs lol and fat waists, which are worse especially for northern latitudes
English
@txsalth2o I would view this as a common sense compromise. Unfortunately it is not what the retail, golf, and resort lobbyists want
That is who pushes DST, not any person
English
DST vs Standard:
Split it on the 30.
Annoy the rest of the world.
Call it “Trump Time”
Be done with it.

@CharlesDardaman @SukritGanesh ‘If you’re in zone x add y requirements’
English
@SukritGanesh Do the houses in northern Cali need to be hurricane proof?
English
We should have one building code for the entire country. Insane that every municipality gets to add its own random details that do nothing but make life a nightmare for architects and developers.
California YIMBY@cayimby
SF adopted a stricter ceiling-height minimum (7'6") than state law requires (7'), preventing a Cole Valley homeowner from legalizing two basement units for 20+ years. A supervisor is now advancing legislation to align SF's rules with state code. sfchronicle.com/personal-finan…

@JasonBallard1 @Riddle_Lincoln ‘It’s just for a couple weeks!’ Stupid argument that can apply to either side
English
@TheRingOfGyges @Riddle_Lincoln It’s actually just a couple of weeks in January at issue. Standard time hurts more. Sunrise before 4:30am is insane
English
In the conversation about switching to DST permanently, there are a lot of people basically saying the extra hour in the evening means nothing because they don't go outside during the winter.
That's absolutely wild, and sad. It's a great season. Gotta learn to enjoy it.
English
bruh i just realized people are using the 👀 emoji react on slack to mean "I am looking into this matter" I've been using it for over a year at my job just to mean like whoa
English
@JasonBallard1 @Riddle_Lincoln Those are the months that standard time matters the absolute most is the issue
English
@Riddle_Lincoln It’s also a change that only affects 4 months of the year. The other 8 months are already in DST
English
@Riddle_Lincoln During the week though, and on a regular basis? You have to set that alarm and get up every day. And per data those consequences are with you every single day
English
@TherealGmoe @Misch1945 Late sunrises impact SAD more than early sunsets. Late sunrises are very damaging
English
@Misch1945 Has nothing to do with running home and doing activities. It’s having more evening daylight that makes it a little less depressing. Season depression is caused by the sun setting at 4pm not because the sun rises at 8am. Weirdo
English
The argument that people are running home in January to do outdoor activities at 5:30 PM is laughable.
People are so stupid, they think 9:00 AM sunrises in the winter are worth one more hour of gray “daylight” in the afternoon.
brandon s.@b_cuse_
Sacrificing an hour of morning light to get one extra hour of evening light results in the same overall amount of light but makes it harder to get going in the AM. You all are going to continue being seasonally depressed because that’s just how winter is.
English
The idea that poor renters should endure living with dangerously violent and criminal neighbors or roommates is probably the most bigoted outcome of the modern land use era.
Moses Kagan@moseskagan
Co-living has been an unmitigated disaster in LA, in large part bc you can't operate it profitably under modern landlord-tenant law, where it takes months to remove bad apples. (In the heyday of SROs, if someone was ruining everyone else's living situation, the owner or manager would kick them out ~instantly, often, under threat of violence.)
English
@ChrisGoodwin79 @b_cuse_ It also means more suicides more diabetes more cancer more depression more obesity.
English
Permanent DST over 100 years, equals 36,525 hours, or more than 4 Years of evening daylight.
That means 4 more years of daylight time after work with your family, more outdoor activities, kids playing outside longer, lower evening energy use, and brighter evenings throughout the fall and winter.
No more changing the clocks twice a year, no more losing an hour of sleep with 23 hour day, and no more 25 hour days 8 months later.

Julian Mille☈@ATLAreaWx
This will be such a nightmare.
English
@scriberareal @RogerSeheult That first day waking up in fucking darkness all of a sudden. So fucking annoying
English
@RogerSeheult That extra 6 weeks of DST is miserable. I didn't hate DST nearly as much when it started in April.
English
The truth of the matter is is that this is not an issue where they locked the wrong time in. They have been strategizing this for a long time even back in 2007 when they extended the period of daylight saving time by six weeks. And now they’re going for the jugular and wanting daylight saving time the whole year.
They’re simply using the public desire to stop changing clocks as an impetus to lock in their revenue, generating daylight, saving time for retail stores and completely ignoring the science behind why standard time is healthier.
English
@AddisonDJenkins Why not google it? These places and places on the western edge of the time zones absolutely have worse health outcomes linked to late sunrises
English
The people who are like "EVERYONE WILL DIE!!!" have zero explanation for why people are not currently dying in droves in Bismark, Seattle, Portland, Bozeman, SLC, Minneapolis, and Louisville.
Those places *currently* have darkness until ~8am during the darkest winter days.
English
@ThomasB53072870 @maxtmcc It interferes with falling asleep yeah. This isn’t about personal anecdotes there is a ton of research here.
English
@TheRingOfGyges @maxtmcc You can’t go to sleep until after midnight because the sun sets at 9?
English
The anti-permanent DST people have some real sicko opinions, like that they’d rather have sunshine during their morning commute than after work when things actually happen, but the worst people are pro-permanent Standard time and we need to be very clear about that
English
