Daylight savings time: get rid of it?

So, I was thinking-should we get rid of daylight savings? Sure, back in the 19th century we weren't too "advanced" with agriculture. But now, we don't need daylight to work fields. We have portable headlights that are much more effective than pissing everybody off and fucking with time.... What's your guys' opinion?

its 2 days of inconvenience for the ease of people in this country who actually do work early in the morning


stop whining like a little bitch and get over it, you'll survive

Yeah, I want my daylight saved thank you very much.

Well, I'm gonna be the Devil's advocate here, and say keep it.

Doesn't day light savings have something to do with like... accounting for slight inconsistencies in the Julian calendar or something? Like Leap years?

Am I stupid?

no to both

no, daylight savings time was made so that farmers get an extra hour to work


even with "technological leaps" a lot of farmers still can only work during the daylight hours in their giant fields

keep it. Besides, helps once it gets dark during winter.

The way I see it, farmers can make their own adjustments to their schedules when they see fit. No need to drag in the rest of the world and cause everyone to be late or loose sleep.

its only our country that does the daylight savings time


it affects you for two days... it affects them for the entire time... and if they all got pissed and went on strike, unlike the majority of jobs in this country, people would die... LOTS of people would die.

the price of food would go up drastically from having to import


so its like I said... get over it... you lose 1 hour of sleep for a couple of days once a year.... and you get those hour back at the other end of the year, might as well do SOMETHING to make the people who keep our country alive happy since we don't pay them anything, don't donate anything to them, don't thank them... hell... most people make fun of farmers because apparently doing one of the most crucial jobs in the country makes you a Poor hick.

I doubt they'd go on strike for that. Besides, do you realize just how much farmers do all day? Unless it's time for planting or harvesting, they do little to nothing. Wen they work, they base it off of when it's light out. What time the clock says is irrelevant.

seriously civ, that is one of the most downright retarded things you have ever said


for one... farmers still base their schedules around time... they have kids who do school, they go to social events... shit like that... daylight savings time helps by making those more accessible while still haveing all the time they need to do their work.

and two... WHAT THE FUCK do you know about farming? obviously not very much... over half my family are farmers, and I can tell you that they do a fuck ton more work than just plant and harvest.
