I like DST.

Makes sense to me.

Ummm, this is a survey to enact PERMANENT daylight savings, not end it ...

I'd rather permanent standard time otherwise all my sun dials are going to be off by an hour ...

We should follow what Washington, Oregon and California does.

[Hehe]

I want to stay in a permanent standard time instead of permanent DST.

I couldn't care less about the early morning. Sun rise at 5 or 6 is irrelevant. All I know is that by the time I wake up, it's day.

But I absolutely hate that we still have light at 10PM. As a parent, it's so darn hard sometimes to get kids to go to bed at 9 when it's still bright as fuck outside. If we switch to ST, the 9PM to get kids to bed would be like 10PM now when it's at least getting dark.

[whitev70r]

^ If that is sole reason, you'll grow out of it in a few years. Singles, parents of adult children, retired folks love the extra hour of sunlight in the summer to do outdoor stuff.

That's pretty short sighted. In 2 years you wont be able to get your kids to sleep at 9 even if you chain them to the bed, so make a decision based on something other than the exact present moment frustration you are feeling.

Springing forward and backward constantly makes no sense, and it's irritating and if everyone just stopped doing it, it would be great. Saskatchewan was ahead of all of us.

[twitchyzero]

vancouver is already miserable af in the winter, why not keep it permanent PST instead so there's at least a hint of sunlight @ 7am?

i have to get up 530 so makes no difference to me

[AzNightmare]

I never knew this was such a big deal. My common activities don't really rely much on daylight.

I guess I really need to get out more, literally.

[StylinRed]

I love it bright later in the day (10pm) it makes no sense to me thst businesses don't really take advantage of this though

[Badhobz]

i just wanna stop switching clocks.

[Great68]

Year round DST would be awesome. I'm always doing stuff outside until late at night, so the more light the better. I love the 9:30pm sunsets.
Plus it would mean sunsets at 5:30 instead of 4:30 in the dead of winter, which means that I can actually walk home in some daylight.

[Hondaracer]

Dgaf about your kids. Gimmie dat later light

[Raid3n]

yeah, idgaf about someone not being able to get their kid to go to sleep at 9pm..

your kid doesn't give a flying fuck at a donut about the clock.

i love the sun being up later at night in the summer. more time to work on the car and more light for fishing :D

and also i despise having to change my clock and having it fuck with my sleep.

[CCA-Dave]

Invest in some tinfoil for your kids bedroom windows for the 3 years they are too young to fall asleep without pitch black. Give the extra evening light for the rest of us!

LOVE the long evenings, and could never understand why we still have standard time during our dreary winters. Give me just a little more light to enjoy the day.

Jesus... As everyone else has said, think about it a bit and don't be reactionary.

I went flying overnight last night and it was light out the entire time.

[MG1]

So you have a clock for one half of the year and another one for the other half? Bring one out and put the other away?

Now that.................... is cool.



Hee hee......... just yankin' your chain.

[Badhobz]

I hate adjusting the clock on my stove. You gotta hold it down for like an eternity just to start the minute hand, and then after what seems like 2 fucking hours, it'll finally get to the hour hand

[MG1]

Any hour I gain is spent changing the time on all the fucking clocks and shit around the house, cars, etc.

Thankfully tech like laptops, cell phones and shit auto change........... my dashcams should, but they have issues. The non-GPS ones, anyway.

Clocks are so important in places like the rape dungeon. No windows and it's always dark. Can't tell if it's day or night, gulolol.

[Badhobz]

Eruhhh i just noticed the survey is fully unregistered. You can submit as many of those as you want to lopsided the results.

[Rallydrv]

Fu guys. My car already has DST switching programmed into it. Now I have to pay to get it reprogrammed if this changes anything.

I'll just belive whatever time my car tells me

[Hehe]

Jesus... As everyone else has said, think about it a bit and don't be reactionary.

I went flying overnight last night and it was light out the entire time.

I'm saying this because DST has negative consequences while ST has none.

Wait until you guys have kids and get back to me on this topic. Let them sleep the same 12-2AM like you usually do and see what happens.

It's not about difficulty getting them to bed. They just hop on bed, I kiss them and away I go. But all that sunlights, with blind or not has an effect on their bodies and they can't sleep. Because right before they went to bed, they were outside soaking full sun.

But putting everything aside, I fail to see how moving an hour ahead makes life better? If that's the case... why not make it 2 or even 3 hours ahead? So we'd have 10:30PM-11:30 sunsets in summer and 6:30-7:30PM in winter. Wouldn't that be awesome???

Fuck no....

It might be great for a while, but after a few times it's indifferent. And we already have a natural changing process for that. It's called SEASONS. No need to artificially create them.

For me it's the opposite, the more daylight I can have to do stuff outside after my kid is in bed the better. We totally blacked out her room with blackout curtains + garbage bags on the windows so it's all the same to her no matter what time it is. Young kids usually go to bed early enough that it's still light out no matter what in the summer, 9pm seems really late for little kids.

Not to mention driving home in the pitch black in the winter is so damn depressing.

I live in the North. It doesn't even get dark at this time of year. You put cardboard over the kids windows. Simple.
DST makes no sense up here though. Winter it's dark from 5pm to 8am and summer it doesn't even really get dark so really makes no difference for us.

Berz out.

[MG1]

I was going to say this earlier............. nobody gets to whine until they have lived above the Arctic or below the Antarctic Circles. Daylight 24/7 or dark as poop 24/7 for a few months of the year. Come to think of it............. equinox gonna make a difference? I guess. All I know is, not gonna live anywhere close to any of the poles. The only poles I want to see is at No. 5 Orange, gulolol.


Okay, no jokes about sticking tongue on freezing poles................ warm lips? Maybe............ One of those pics or it didn't happen posts........ I mean poles.......... I mean posts.

[hud 91gt]

Get rid of it. Please.

As for 24 hour daylight/sunlight. Tinfoil. I think their is a few of us who have lived that far north on here. Carpet, with Velcro on the window sills is the best though, asf it’s easy removal is the best of both worlds! A light Berber, or old aircraft carpet is best. Ha

[MG1]

^right?

Whiners gonna whine, no matter what. People living in those places, find ways to cope with it. Be inventive..... git 'er done, instead of the woe is me syndrome.....

I just broke my fingernail on this keyboard........... woe is me.

[Hondaracer]

People living in those places commit suicide mode frequently than the rest of us too lol..

I’ll take whatever gives more daylight, wanting to change because it’s a burden to change the clocks? What is this 1970? Lol

[GabAlmighty]

I just made myself get used to sleeping in the light, never had a problem and always got a good nights sleep.

People living in those places commit suicide mode frequently than the rest of us too lol..


Yaaaaaa, they'll say it's related to the perpetual darkness. But in reality it's so much more than just that.

[MG1]

No good Chinese restaurants to speak of............ or no good pho places is my guess.

[punkwax]

DST is primarily for energy savings measures.. I enjoy being able to golf after work until 9:30-10 during peak summer, that’s for sure.

[Hondaracer]

Any place that is perpetuallly dark is generally perpetually cold/snowy

[MG1]

People living in those places commit suicide mode frequently than the rest of us too lol.

If, and when, I commit suicide, its going to be one time deal. Not going for frequent flyer points. When doing something, do it right, I say.

True, though, that the suicide rate is higher in remote northern communities. It might have to do with the percentage of indigenous population in those areas.

Come to think of it, I'd be depressed too if my Uber Eats or Skip the Dishes took forever to arrive, and when it does, the food is frozen solid when I get it.




Am I trying too hard to make this thread one of those epic RS threads? We haven't had one in a long ass time.

[GS8]

Since 2011, I'd say about 70% of my work shifts were late or overnight. As a result, I have almost zero concept of time beyond sunrise and sunset. As I get older, the years are just blinks to me. Time gets more and more fluid. It's not about hours and days. It just flows on.

I mean, I can sleep and wake up at anytime. When conditions change, I adapt. Bright and humid? Adapt. Cold and dreary? Adapt.

In short, switching back and forth never bothered me. Just keep your sleep pattern consistent and in check and you'll live longer. No amount of time change would effect that.

We seem to live in a world where 'there's no time for anything' yet how much time do we waste doing frivolous things?

Ugh I'm tired...:sleepy:

[RRxtar]

From a realistic perspective, it is more beneficial to have an extra hour of daylight at the END of the day, than at the beginning.

Most industries work 8-4 (with some starting at 7 and some ending at 5). Generally speaking, in the middle of winter when the days are the shortest, It is more beneficial to have daylight from 8am to 4:30pm than it is to have sunset at 3:30pm.

Dont think about this change as what time it will be light out until in July, think about it when the days are shorter. It doesnt mean much if Sunrise is at 4am or 5am in July. No one is awake to make use of that daylight. But it staying light out until 10pm instead of 9pm creates alot of opportunities in the evening, especially for recreation after work.

why do you need a clock in the rape dungeon?

[MG1]

why do you need a clock in the rape dungeon?

Would you like to find out?

[TOS'd]

I always look forward to changing the clocks twice a year.

[meme405]

Well results are out. 93% of people think changing the clocks are stupid, which is no surprise. Now we all get to watch how slowly our government can make change.

Setting the over/under at 3 years?

British Columbia is pushing ahead with a plan to eliminate seasonal time changes, but when it would happen remains a matter of timing.
Attorney General David Eby says legislation is being introduced Thursday that would allow B.C. to stop moving between daylight and standard time every spring and fall.



A recent B.C. government survey found more than 93 per cent of respondents, or almost 225,000 people, indicated their support for a permanent move to daylight time.
The survey said three-quarters of those who wanted to stay with one time identified health and wellness concerns for their support, but the same health reasons were cited by the minority who favoured falling back and springing forward.
Five submissions from industry groups said aligning the province’s clocks with other jurisdictions was an issue in order to preserve the competitiveness of B.C.’s industries and avoid confusion.
With the exception of students, support for year-round daylight time was higher than 90 per cent in all regions of B.C. and across all industry and occupational groups.

[Badhobz]

When ?!?!?!?! Stupid slow ass government.

[PeanutButter]

why would anyone be in favour of this unless the US did the same thing?

[twitchyzero]

OR/WA is awaiting federal approval...i think CA is holding off

Right now they're so caught up in impeachment hearings, infighting, and the 2020 election that this probably won't go through Congress for a long time. I figure that we need to do this and let others follow.

[Hehe]

just do it first
let other to join

Given our proximity (I mean, the biggest city in BC is just a tad under 200km in straight line to the largest city in WA, and another 200km to the largest in OR.) I'd think a non-coordinated change will bring nothing but chaos.

BC could be the first one to announce its intent to switch, and persuade WA/OR/CA to join.

[Badhobz]

https://www.narcity.com/news/ca/bc/bc-almost-scrapped-dst-and-might-fully-do-it-soon

So it looks like overwhelming voters support ending all this time changing bs, but we still arent going to change unless the other provinces/nearby states change. :rukidding:

[MG1]

Makes sense. Nobody wants to be the only one to change. You can say, build it and they will come, but BC is not that important to anyone except the people who live here. Now, if say, California or Texas or NY, etc. changes, then that's a different story.

[MG1]

You can set the time to this thread. Anytime, pun intended, there's a time change, just look for this thread.


Having said that, I'm going to make a point by posting here during the summer. Just to fuck things up.................... gulolololow

[whitev70r]

State of Washington is in same boat as BC, passed to go permanent on DST. Just waiting for Oregon and California to join the party.

[Jmac]

Man, changing the time on my microwave, stove, and car was so incredibly painful ... took almost 5 minutes.

I’d be way more onboard with permanent standard time. Permanent daylight time is stupid as fuck.

“Let’s call 11 AM noon from now on.”
“What will we call noon?”
“1”
