I remembered this time, but this thread is helpful! *o*

I totes wish we could be rid of it though. I guess the only reason we keep it around is for farmers? Psh~

Are ya ready, guyz?!

@Aisukohi: farmers say it makes everything worse, for the farmers is a myth cuz animals don't go by the clock, they go by the sun and moon
I've heard it was for one of the World Wars, shift the time to confuse the enemy

@Kitalpha hart: Oh that makes sense, sorta. I mean why keep it after the World Wars then?
@Totalanimefan: Agreed with you! I hate when it gets dark too early.

@Aisukohi: my guess is that after it ended people didn't want to change it or the government made some sort of reason up as to why to keep it
If we could get rid of it tho, yes
I think there's studies that show that the shift forward for spring causes a lot of harm and the "benefits" from the fall one last so briefly they don't exist after a few days at most

@Kitalpha hart: lol oh yes, always blame the government (and I'm not being sarcastic!). And it always throws me off whether we go back or forward. Even if I try to prepare for it, I'm never NOT affected by it somehow.

@Totalanimefan: Same! I typically work 9-5:30 nowadays, but I feel so defeated when I come to work in the daylight and am going home and it's already getting dark.

@Aisukohi: pretty sure if I had a full-time job I'd be hit by it but since I don't, it doesn't bug me much

@Kitalpha hart: Yep, that's definitely part of why it always gets me. Even though this time I won't be working tomorrow, I'm sure I'll still feel it.

Damn farmers, going around and ruining the days of city folk. Honestly never understood the complete purpose of keeping DST around. Sure it might kind of help with the changing of seasons for the farmers but overall it's just another insult to add to the allergies spring already brings

I'm so happy. * u * Fall makes it hard to get out and do stuff after work, I get so tired when it gets dark at like 5, and I don't really like going outside in the dark. Not to mention I think I have a pretty moderate to severe case of seasonal affective disorder, so I feel really down during fall/winter. :[

But now it won't be dark til 7:15 or so, I'm thrilled and feeling way better. AllTrails has a lot of places I still wanna check out, and I can finally start doing that after work instead of waiting for the weekend. :D
