Comment on People who rely on their phones/computers to tell time probably forgot or didn't realize that a Daylight Saving Time-Change even happened, some might've forgotten that DST existed at all.
I think north America only switched this last weekend?
Had a non standard difference last week.
Yeah, the US and Europe do DST a couple weeks apart, presumably because of latitude differences but it could also be spite, I guess.
It used to be the same but them W. Bush extended summer time on both ends to really make things confusing
We should extend it more. Maybe an extra two months on each end.
I hate the opinion that we should switch to DST all the time. Why should we get to be special little guys with a weird time zone?
The United States changed about 15-20 years ago to always be after Halloween, so that kids can trick-or-treat longer and people will have to buy more candy.
