Fixing Daylight Saving Time Is THIS Easy

You know what's more fun than changing all the clocks in your house? Making sure you have subscribed to the channel and clicked the 🛎 so you get notified when I upload a new video! Come find me on Twitter and Instagram and tell me what you thought of this video: @okaytobesmart @DrJoeHanson

Solution: give up being a part of society and sleep when you're tired and eat when you're hungry.

In Brazil we actually had daylight saving time until 2019, until the government realized it didn’t save energy, so it ended haha

When my dad was a boy (1920s) he and his older brother were out for a drive in the country. As the car (Ford Model T) had no clock and it was getting late in the day, they stopped at a farm house to ask the farmer what time it was. The farmer said, "I don't have a clock. Never had one." When my dad asked him why he said, "I get up at sunrise, go to bed at sunset, and any da** fool ought to know when to eat." Maybe we should be like that farmer.

Standard Time works. If it ain't broke, dont fix it. Workplaces can adopt Summer hours. My Summer morning hours belong TO ME, not the company I work for.

"France being France did both" That actually was a pretty British move

Me who lives near the equator: laughs in standard time

I lived in a place where day light saving time is applied and a place where it wasn’t. And the place where it wasn’t applied made things easier. Even though they didn’t change the time on the clock schools and work started 1/2 an hour later at winter since the sun rises later. But other than that everything else’s was the same. This was more in line with the body’s natural rhythm.

As a software developer, one of the hardest things (at least to me) is dealing with timezones and doing timezone math, especially with customers all around the world.

Normal people: Switching an hour twice a year is horrible! Shift workers: Try switching 12 hours once or twice a week!

you guys actually put papa franku in there, never thought i'd see the legend on your channel

I love living in a place that is both metricly civilized and ignores DST completely. No changing the clocks, missing appointments or possibly being late (or worse, early) to work twice a year.

Just split the difference halfway between standard time and daylight time and leave it. You get the best of both worlds. At middle latitudes, you get daylight between 5am or 5:30am and about 8pm in June. Also, in winter, you get sunrise at 7:45am and sunset at 5:15 or 5:30pm.

So all that “early to bed/early to rise” was a bunch of bs. Thanks Franklin.

-Hey boss, can we shift our schedule an hour back so we go home an hour earlier in the day? -Fine, seems reasonable. From now we start work at 8 instead of at 9 -No, no! I am used to comming to work at 9. I could never get used to comming to work at 8! -Hmm... I got it! We will simply shift our clocks an hour back. This way you still leave an hour early AND you also come to work at the time you are used to. -That's perfect, boss! -Just make sure you come the same time as usuall, which is an hour before of what it is the usual... or is it one hour after the... the... -Wait, you mean one hour is earlier in the time change, right? -What?? -What??

As an Arizonan, this video was wild. We literally have no daylight savings time, we don’t adjust or account for anything across the year; time just be existing lmao. This stuff always interested me that people actually go through this 🤣

I live near New York City, and we should just stay in Daylight Time all year. I like having daylight late in the evening during the Summer.

Instead of springing forward, why not just fall back 25 hours and give everyone a day off to adjust? Time is a man made construct anyways.

"Just to annoy everyone" That's the most accurate description, lol

Double daylight saving in winter! I can do my office/home job in the dark, but I want to enjoy light in the evening even in Winter.
