New Zealand‘s worst invention. Closely followed by instant coffee.

There used to be a reason, for farmers to have more light in the morning.
- Ghoelian@piefed.socialEnglish10 days
Why cant farmers just set their alarm an hour earlier though, no need to drag everyone else into this

Apparently this was a myth, but I’m against it, I voted in CA to pass a law where we don’t have to do it and yet we still do. No one wants day light savings time
- 9 days
No I want permanent daylight savings. I want to spring forward and not fall back.
- 9 days
Sorry, let me rephrase, no more time change and spring forward would be my choice
- 10 days
That’s a myth. Farmers in the US lobbied against the change. Animals and crops don’t care about the time, so it just meant they had to start work earlier on the clock.

If you check farmers’ out they can still do the same amount of work in daylight hours.
Daylight savings’ history is actually more white than you think. The law was passed by politicians that just wanted to golf earlier. Farmers are commonly used as the excuse because every accusations is a confession.
I never understood this argument because farmers are the least likely job to use the clock to tell them when to work… The idea of a farmer waiting for 8am to clock in is ridiculous.

I have zero clue, I guess they can feed them in day light. For fuck sakes who cares tbh.

I guess any kid in school fucking cares that their politicians set the clock after when cows want to be milked.

How does it give them more daylight? The amount of hours between sunrise and sunset is not dependent on our clocks.
- kestrel7_7@lemmy.worldEnglish9 days
This was never the reason. It was to do with factories saving on electric lighting during WWI, by getting their workers out an hour earlier. Then after WWII we just kept it going for some reason

I was trying so hard to figure out why these tweets look weird, thinking maybe they were just fake tweets… Turns out these are “threads” from Threads and that’s why they look weird, but ngl, I genuinely did not know anyone used Threads.

I am surprised every time I get reminded that Threads exist. Yet I know therapist friends who get a ton of clients from posting on there.

Never! I’m a small time progressive, neurodivergent therapist. I’m one of you!

Instagram (and presumably other meta apps) push threads, you can accidentally sign up and be sent to download the app vv easily if you aren’t paying attention.
The ads for it are integrated better than ads.

As you can see, at least 2 people use Threads. Maybe it’s kinda like the fediverse?
- 8 days
If I’m correct, you can literally federate your Lemmy instance with Threads. I don’t know, I saw something like that. Really strange.
- 10 days
It seems like it really caught on with the Instagram demographic, since they auto enrolled you into threads if you have an IG.

It was last week in Europe (or Nordic countries anyway, not sure how consistent it is tbh)

Wait, you guys switch from 2 to 1? We switch from 3 to 2. Also on a different weekend, but I knew that already. This one is new to me.
We do 4 to 3 and we did it last weekend since this Sunday is already November.

Time is one of those things that only exist to drive programmers crazy.
I don’t understand. Every Halloween there is a weekend before or after (well almost) where we in the US get another hour to drink at a bar. I did it for 15 years straight. And that was 15 years ago.

Lol in Germany clubs have to get a special permit to allow the club to be open past 12 am on Halloween because November 1st you’re not allowed to dance. Having a legal party that went after 12 am on Halloween was radical back when I was a teen

“Southern Germany” - Hamburg, Berlin etc. dont care about All Hallows Day
- 10 days
That’s true. I grew up in Munich and they take that super seriously. At least they did 10-15 years ago.

It’s All Saints’. It’s also banned to show movies that mock religion like Life of Brian
- 10 days
In a weird way I like that. It is such a funny and harmless way of defying social order to watch a forbidden movie and dance on one of these blacklisted days. It’s absolutely outdated and ridiculous but that makes the rule breaking somewhat wholesome.
- 10 days
And a real burden to clubs that want Halloween to be a good time for their patrons. Many Germans will report people having illegal fun even if nobody is actually harmed.
- 9 days
Nah, just on November 1st since it is a religious holiday.
There are a couple more no-dance holidays, November 1st is just the one that started to become most noticeable because of the emerging Halloween parties in the 2000s

Where is this that the clock goes from 2 to 1? Here in Europe it always goes from 3 to 2 or from 2 to 3 when it goes in the other direction.

I’ve experienced a few of these crazy nights on the dance floor myself
- 10 days
While you’re not wrong, it should be mentioned that the same thing happens in most of the rest of the country too.
- cruseo@piefed.worldEnglish10 days
Does it? I remember that, 25 or so years ago when I lived in the central time zone, the switch happened at 12/1 am.
Maybe I’m misremembering. It was a long time ago.
- 10 days
It doesn’t really. It goes from 2:59 (DT) to 2:00 (ST). But if a place says they close at 02:00, I suppose they could choose to interpret that time as the second one.
In the spring, it goes from 1:59 (ST) to 3:00 (DT)

Perfect Halloween… Yet I was stuck with a vacuum pump attached to my back not able to party 🤣😭
- 9 days
Instead I was in bed by midnight and totally sober. I think I had more fun
- 10 days
Lol nope. My bar closed at 2/1am and told everyone to get tf out. I also work at 10 in the morning so its perfect for me

Actually it was Daylight Saving Time on November 1 back in 2009 (17 years ago). It was a great night.
- PolarKraken@lemmy.dbzer0.comEnglish10 days
An extra hour appears in the middle of the night, while folks are partying, leading to some…extra-spooky haunting, ya might say.
- 10 days
Why do I have to be the pendentic one that says it’s daylight saving and not daylight savings.
