Daylight savings time

Aquila Blue · 26th October 2002, 23:41

A quick reminder, clocks go back an hour tonight, at 2am (for those in North America and England, not sure about the rest of the world) I just thought I'd mention it, because I wouldn't have remembered if someone didn't tell me.

Ha! Jokes on you. Here in Hawaii THERE IS NO DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME!!! I laugh at all you lowly mortals who must change their clocks backwards and endure a 25 hour long day.

henry3k56 · 27th October 2002, 00:02

My clocks somehow know when to reset themselves.

oooo, you're lucky to live in Hawaii! I want to visit more than the airport someday.

AjStone · 27th October 2002, 00:51

Haha, yeah, this thread is basically for all the people who still have analog/old digital clocks that don't switch themselves. Just about 80% of my clocks here at home do it automatically.

Cameron221 · 27th October 2002, 00:55

I set my watch an hour back.

Val Halen · 27th October 2002, 00:58

Gah! you had to remind me about that! i hate daylight savings time its so annoying! why cant thay make up thare minds ware to put our clocks and leave them thare! (day light savings time was invented to save candles) well we dont burn candles any more its bogus!

Lain · 27th October 2002, 01:21

Woo and extra hour of weekend!!

lemon_chicken · 27th October 2002, 01:35

well our daylight savings just made me get an hour less sleep

but then summer would be coming up for me...

J. Burnaway · 27th October 2002, 01:35

We started daylight savings time a day early. The power went out about 1:30 am this morning and when I woke about 5:30 I looked at my watch and thought it said 4:30, so that is how I set the alarm clock. Needless to say, we were about 45 minutes late where we were going this morning.

Illusion · 27th October 2002, 03:17

Daylight savings sucks. I lost an hour of sleep thanks to it. Down with daylight savings!

Fickle · 27th October 2002, 03:26

None of my clocks set themselves back (except my PC)
It's all manual. Especially the cuckoo clock, and the Grandfather. Those are my favorites, and I wouldn't trade them for anything. Nothing beats out good old pendulum clocks. Nuts to your digital bullshit--what if the power goes out or there's a power surge and they all get blown. Who'll be there with the time? You, with your watch. Damn. I thought that was going to be an intelligent statement. Oh well. I'll take my cuckoo colck before I take the annoying buzzing the alarm clocks make.
These days must drive a watchmaker nuts.

griffinn · 27th October 2002, 04:00

Here in Adelaide, South Australia, we've just set our clock forward by an hour last night. (BTW, didn't realise there are so many forum mates from Adelaide.

)

You won't lose sleep if you plan ahead and set your clock forward right after dinner, then go to sleep at your normal hours according to the new time.

But me and my sweetheart are now 2.5 hours apart.

AjStone · 27th October 2002, 04:12

"Well, here it is 12:09AM and the Daylight Savings time watch continues into the night. Some people are still around, braving the cold to see the time when the clocks reverse their course and rotate backwards for one hour. It's a nationwide phenomenom that happens semi-annually that sweeps most of our country into chaos. Now, only a little under two hours left to go."

actually the human body has a biological clock that is set to a 25 hour day naturally when there is no influence of light. damn earth, screwing over our bodys.

sgtfuzzbubble011 · 27th October 2002, 05:23

Heh... My body could easily adjust to a 36-hour day with no problem.

Erm... it's a 25 hour day of rest? Wouldn't you be the sad one of not getting an extra hour of rest or something?

I am Jesus · 27th October 2002, 05:41

YES! I love this time.

rm' · 27th October 2002, 05:44

Why isn't Eastern Indiana on DST?

Avalon · 27th October 2002, 05:44

erm.... because the cows can't tell time?

That's not entirely true. When I live in South Bend, IN for year and
half everyone told me it's because the cows didn't like when their
feeding time changed and in turn it gave the farmers bad milk from
the cows (and that's why they're called Hoosiers. WTF?). Also the
majority of AZ doesn't change it's clocks for some reason. I've lived
here close to 15 years and don't know why. It's just some reservation
that changes.

Avalon · 27th October 2002, 06:08

hummm... well let me end that with the following....

Only in the mid-west and Indiana.

lemon_chicken · 27th October 2002, 13:12

yeah fully. it screws up the dairy industry. then there are even people who think it will fade their curtains- they are real stupid

fish · 27th October 2002, 13:21

I've gotten into such a routine lately that even daylight savings time ending screwed me up

lemon_chicken · 27th October 2002, 13:23

really?
i had a friend who always used to piss at the start of lunch time at school, when daylight savings stopped/started he was in trouble.

Merlin · 27th October 2002, 21:35

Stupid farmers!

Cameron221 · 27th October 2002, 21:56

They made DST to save 1 percent of power used by people when theyre awake.

Today, it still dosent work.

You're a moron, you really are. DST exists to give farmers the same amount of time to do their farming as they get in winter.
