Lighter later > lighter earlier
they chose right
Wait
Dialga you're right, if this means they rename EST to EDT officially
I'll lose it
Regi, we're doing the one that will make it stay lighter, later
so sunrise will be 830-900AM in the Winter, rather than what it is now where she shift clocks to make it 730-800
we "save" daylight during the Summer, to use during the winter
so some people will just call this Summer-time
actually yeah
EST, Eastern Summer Time
there you go
we can keep the S
wait Dialga, I just looked it up
you get so much sun, Jesus Christ
idk which way is worse for you
the sun rises at like 5:30AM, and stays up till 9PM
idk why, but I just assumed it was latitude based
but you actually have 2 more hours of sun than Miami
technically Yuma, Arizona is peak sun
but I didn't realize NM & AZ were so much higher than California, Florida, or Texas
I hope the agreement from like 20 years ago where Ontario said they would commit to removing DST if Quebec and New york did is still valid
(its not)
We did it in the US already too
In 2020 they voted on it, passed 100-0
And then they didn't get it signed and submitted before recess
And so it had to be restarted from scratch
Replying to Spooky Phijkchu #spooky.131 but I didn't realize NM & AZ were so much higher than California, Florida, or Texas (edited)
probably also because of elevation
Oh ... I'm dumb
That makes sense
this cannot be allowed to proceed
I think they should just fucking pick a set time
I don't even care if its fucked up like sun rises at 4am at its worse
daylight savings time annoys me twice a year
and thats too much
I'd be fine with a Chinese style 1-timezone
Call it EST
But it's really EDT
California no longer gets any sun till Noon
Were all thinking too small
If we really want to be a multiplanet civilization
Replying to Spooky Phijkchu #spooky.131 Were all thinking too small
I swear if you say the entire world should be EST
We need a universal earth time
I do think just making time zones more granular would be funny
yeah, so spooky, your state now has 8 timezones actually
sorry
Replying to Spooky Phijkchu #spooky.131 And yes Earth Standard Time
Alright, I didn't think of that, that's funny
Mean Solar Time
Is what satellites use
And it sucks
Pika, physics check
Instead of changing clocks, can we just vary the length of seconds?
Localized to you as a person (via your phone)
So sunrise is 7 every morning and sunset is 7 every night
I mean, time is relative to the observer, so technically speaking if you speed fast enough on the highway, your timezone should be personalized
speeding fast enough might be within a factor of 10 of the speed of light though
