Make Daylight Saving Permanent
- Thread starter Darts
- Start date
Its about damn time. Hate being robbed of an hour while I am sleeping.
Isn't that the opposite of permanent DST? With permanent DST it stays light an hour later in the evening, and sunrise comes an hour later in the morning, as opposed to Standard Time.
I know exactly what I'm wishing for when I support permanent DST...
Just follow the natural clock cycles as rest of the world. Daylight saving was a dumb idea to begin with.
Maybe by 1/2 hour difference we should stay at. But I think Sask. doesn't change their clocks.
Or just be it.
Or just be it.
I'm the same. I'd rather come home after work and have an extra hour of sunlight to BBQ, drink and relax on the patio. Why do I care about extra light when I'm in my car going to work ?
I don’t care either way. I just want the stupid argument to stop. Every fucking time we change the clocks, this bullshit fight comes up. It is literally one of the dumbest things to spend time (no pun intended) on.
What do conditions in Australia have to do with us exactly? If you can hear birds from your place at 3:30 am, then you basically have zero insulation.

It also gives those of us who have kids an extra hour in the afternoon to do stuff outdoors like biking, soccer, football, etc. Our kids already spend too much time sitting in front of their computers. No wonder we have an obesity crises.
People can and do adapt to that. We're not sticking people in a submarine with no sunlight at all for months.
The kids can play shinny for an extra 1/2 hour. Great! Otherwise they would sit on their bum and play computer games inside.
There are very loud birds in that climate; Kookaburra is the loudest that springs to mind.
In a sub tropical place there is no need for much insulation or double pane windows.
In fact you would leave the windows open for like 7 months of the year all day and night long to catch a breeze.
Household a/c is not at all common.
In Toronto, on the shortest day of the year, Dec. 21, 2023, actual sunrise will be 7:47 am and civil dawn will be 7:14 am. Both standard time.
So with permanent DST, on Dec. 21, 2023 it will be fully dark until 8:14 am, but the skies will start to light up after that until full sunrise at at 8:47 am. That is the worst case shortest day dark morning scenario, as before and after Dec. 21 the skies will be lighter earlier, cloud cover permitting...
