Great, we could sleep one hour more, but suddenly, it’s getting dark at 18.
Great we have one hour more of sun on the morning, but instead of being pitch black when starting to commute to work it’s just still dark and by the end of November it’ll be pitch black anyway.
definitely hate DST, but mostly because of the annual death toll it entails, and the fact that it makes no fucking sense.
It doesn’t matter what season it is outside my basement, I still will refuse to go outside willingly.
I love winter. Cold, dark, and snowy are my jam. To be fair this may be an ingrained coping mechanism from growing up in Alaska.
I was born and raised in a country with four distinct seasons. I loved all the seasons. However, I have always been a winter person. One of my bucket list items is to live in a place where the sun sets for months and there is only one long winter night.
I hate the concept of Daylight Savings Time. It’s such a “Baby formula: Now with even more lead!” solution to a problem that shouldn’t exist in the first place.
The table is a little bit too far South, it’s kind of difficult to walk around the table because the wall is too close. So we’ll lift the roof off with a crane, suspend the table from a sophisticated set of guy wires, tear down the house around it, and then painstakingly reinstall the house 16 inches to the South so that there’s room between the wall and the table.
Absolutely love winter. It’s my favorite time of the year. I like being inside when it’s cold and dark out. I like not sweating. Feels good man.
Absolutely detest switching back and forth between standard and DST. What a load of crap. Just pick one and be done with it.
I like sun as much as the next person but I feel getting more daylight by changing the clocks is like going on a diet by changing the definition of a pound. Standard Time all year for me please.
It is the standard.
18?
Damn southerners.
The only thing I hate about Winter is not Winter’s fault, and it’s basically what you said:
Work is somehow perfectly scheduled so that you’re inside, staring at a brick wall for 90-100% of the daylight hours for 5 out of every 7 days.
Winter is beautiful in ways that are completely unlike the other seasons, but unless you’re very fortunate you only get a few glimpses of it.
I feel like if you were designing a society to make people suffer, that’s how you would do it.
And because most people have to drive in winter, if you live in a snowy place in north America, winter means slick roads, and snow shoveling.
It’s a rudiment of a society where artificial light was a scarcity, so people worked during the daylight.
But also these days you can easily get a job with a flexible schedule and spend your mornings enjoying the sun, and then work till the late evening.
I hate summer and daylight saving more.
If you’re too cold, you can always do something. If you’re too hot, you can only do so much then be miserable.
daylight saving is awesome. the only good part about summer.
i get to leave my grey office to sunlight still!
Hate is a strong word, but yes I prefer the longer days of summer, and like doing summer things, and yes going to work in the dark sucks, but coming home from work in the dark is even worse, so dispiriting.
It’s not even cold here, and summer too hot for most but summer is still my favorite, winter least favorite.
It’s like: would you prefer going to work/school in the dark and coming gome during the day or would you like to spend all the daylight at work/school
I just want to pick one and stick with it. Like, holy fuck, the switching is awful.

The best day of the year is the first day of daylight saving time (end of March). There is no day I look forward to more every year, not my birthday, not Christmas, not Easter, not a day I go on vacation: the first day of daylight saving time beats all of these.
I also love-it so much, Suddently, there is day light late, you see people outside, no matter whether it’s about kids playing outside after school, or adult having an evening walk, but suddently looks like life is back
I wish we could hibernate, honestly
Winter has his charms as well.
