People who rely on their phones/computers to tell time probably forgot or didn't realize that a Daylight Saving Time-Change even happened, some might've forgotten that DST existed at all.

I think north America only switched this last weekend?

Had a non standard difference last week.

Yeah, the US and Europe do DST a couple weeks apart, presumably because of latitude differences but it could also be spite, I guess.

It used to be the same but them W. Bush extended summer time on both ends to really make things confusing

Serinus@lemmy.world · 4 个月前

We should extend it more. Maybe an extra two months on each end.

I hate the opinion that we should switch to DST all the time. Why should we get to be special little guys with a weird time zone?

Ghoelian@piefed.social · 4 个月前

Well you wouldn’t call it DST anymore, so it’s just as arbitrary and weird as most other timezones at that point.

dubyakay@lemmy.ca · 3 个月前

Yes. Instead we should have micro-timezones. And hopefully our clocks auto adjust based on gps or township/city longitude.

The United States changed about 15-20 years ago to always be after Halloween, so that kids can trick-or-treat longer and people will have to buy more candy.
