My point was that you said we should be doing it the way it has been done for thousands of years by not adjusting the clock. For thousands of years, we adjusted time based on the sun. For the record, I am with you on sticking to standard time.

Also, no need to be a dick about the o'clock thing. I never knew why we said o'clock. I was sure it was shortening of "of", but I never understood the need for it. When I heard it explained that when clocks were first invented, there was a need to differentiate what time you were referring to (sun based time or mechanical clock), I thought that was interesting.

bitching about how screwed up it is to have live for months in early darkness by switching back to standard time.

You do know we're gonna get many hours less daylight this time of year no matter what we do with the clocks don't you?

The clock switch back just brings it to light...


Yep. Regardless of how you cut it, summer days (sunrise to sunset) are longer and winter days are shorter.

Oh I see. You're one of the morons who thought it was only going to get darker because we moved the clocks back an hour...

Sorry if telling you how wrong you've been all your life caused the little hamster wheel running your brain to go off the rails...

Do you realize you lost your own argument with this admission?

"no matter what we do with the clocks" so why don't we just leave the clocks alone, ?


No but what I do realize is you failed 5th grade reading comprehension and basic logic.
And your mom forgot all about your elementary science classes while home schooling you. Not that it will do any good, but let me make it as simple as possible for you:

The premise of my post is that by far most of the people bitching about the time change have no clue it's going to get darker much earlier this time of year regardless of what we do with the clock. So when the fuses inside your tiny mush filled skull blew trying to comprehend that fact, you took it to mean that I was arguing something else altogether.

You can't comprehend the simple fact that daylight gets much shorter in the winter and longer in the summer solely due to the orientation of the Earth's axis as we orbit the Sun. We don't control the planet's orientation with our clocks.

I won't even mention the corollary fact that because we live in the Northern Hemisphere, we are closest to the Sun in the winter, and we are farthest away from the Sun in the summer. I'm pretty sure all your little hamster wheel circuits would blow if I mentioned that to you.

That being the case, I'm done wasting my time trying to explain to you and all your fellow morons out there the reality behind the time changes we all suffer through.
