  1. The fact that the humans care more about daylight savings than saving the lives of the innocent is, to me, completely bonkers.

    Daylight savings is an aberration, much like war.

  2. My dogs are going to be a real pain tomorrow morning. They can tell time - by their own clocks. In the Spring it isn’t as if they refuse to eat one hour earlier than they think the time is.

  3. They call it "changing the clocks for daylight saving time", I call it "poor man's jetlag". Even if you cannot afford a long flight, you get to experience jetlag twice a year.

  4. Having an after-lunch nap to reclaim some of the hour that was rudely robbed from me last night #daylightSavings

  5. (*but then also #daylightsavings ends :blobcat_cry: no more long evenings)

  6. I’m sorry clock. I know you insist it’s 7AM. But my body and the sun very much disagree. I don’t know who gave you the idea that we should time travel, and feel jet lagged, without the benefit of a tropical locale and being waited on, but this is bullshit and must stop.

  7. Daylight Savings Time is Capitalism's way of reminding you profit comes before people.

  8. Now accepting bets on how long it will be before I discover at least one timekeeping device in my house I failed to change to #daylightSavings

    N.B.: The car doesn't count. It's not in the house. It'll get changed in…well, May is typical.

  9. "Nearly half past noon and I'm only just now, finally, getting some tea into my face" is *not* what I wanted out of life.

    Curse you, #DaylightSavings! 👊🏻

  10. BeetBear wants to know how he is supposed to adjust the sundial for Daylight Savings Time if we haven't seen the sun for several days now. We'll just have to keep using last year's saved daylight for a while yet.

  11. As I was stumbling around the house glaring at the dumb clocks that don't update themselves, I noticed that the clock in my office has stopped. again. I never look at it anyways, so in an act of open rebellion I removed the battery. From now on it will be right twice a day.

  12. Good Morning #Canada
    I think I slept in this morning... or maybe I woke up early. This confusion is typical across Canada except in Saskatchewan, and going forward British Columbia.
    With B.C. officially freezing their clocks on UTC-7, will the rest of Canada follow along? It's a "Maybe" for Alberta, Ontario and Quebec, but no plans everywhere else.

    Here's the latest information on #DaylightSavings in Canada. Included is this interesting fact nugget. Port Arthur, Ontario (now part of Thunder Bay), was the first municipality in the world to enact daylight saving time, on July 1, 1908, a full decade ahead of most of the country.

    I think if we really want to send a message to the U.S. we should eliminate Daylight Savings from the entirety of Canada. Let them deal with the confusion of time changes and cost to update software applications.

  15. “…Permanent standard time would lower the nationwide prevalence of obesity by 0.78 percentage points and the prevalence of stroke by 0.09 percentage points, conditions influenced by circadian health. These seemingly small percentage changes in common conditions would amount to 2.6 million fewer people with obesity and 300,000 fewer cases of stroke.” med.stanford.edu/news/all-news #DaylightSavings

  16. Don’t forget to “Spring Ahead” this tomorrow for Daylight Savings!
