Because then their question would be answered and they couldn’t make money off of “just asking questions” :woman_shrugging:t2:

Exactly. I doubt Tromp believes anything he claims about the world. Whether he does or not probably isn’t even part of the equation for him.

Instead, I suspect that what he says is either all about whether it will make him look good, or yes, whether it will make him money (a third, whether it will help keep him out of prison, is no longer a consideration).

Because that would disrupt their endless conspiracy theorizing! The conspiracies must flow!

I always favor just simply freezing it wherever it is now.

But you don’t. It’s the same duration of light, but noon is offset.

I think you understand what I mean.

I didn’t mean to be rude, but I’ve never understood what DST is supposed to do.

In many places it would be nice for businesses to keep different hours in the winter so that employees actually have the chance to see the sun once in a while. This of course requires businesses to do something nice for the workers, so is nearly impossible. It’s easier to get the same result by just changing the measurement of time itself.

Yes. As I said, I don’t get DST. For me, it is more important to know the sun is nearest it’s zenith around noon than to actually see the sun.

The most practical argument in favor of DST that I have heard is that it allows for high school football practice after school. But it seems odd to reset clocks just for sports.

You know some sunlight is good for people, right? Like it helps calibrate our circadian rhythm in a way that interior lighting tends not to? And aside from sports, many people just feel better being outside sometimes and seeing nature when it’s not dark? I actually have no idea why you’d care about the sun being at zenith if you never see it, but it can be literally depressing (seasonal affective disorder) to go without it.

Maybe the real problem is a system where most of us are forced under penalty of squalor to spend these hours laboring or in a windowless office.

Genius-level idea.
Worked so well for us over here in the UK.

No, it did not. Silly fucking wankers.
