Comment on xkcd #3186: Truly Universal Outlet
squaresinger@lemmy.world 6 days agoThat’s generally the thing with decisions that don’t matter much. If one option is much better, there is no discussion.
But if the benefits of either option are marginal at best, you get tons of discussion and no decision.
For example, the EU decided almost a decade ago that they would get rid of daylight saving time, and everyone quickly agreed that DST sucks, mostly because changing the clocks sucks.
Since then, the whole EU has been arguing about whether to keep summer time or winter time, even though that matters so little that we have been using both of them for decades. A week after switching DST, nobody even notices the time shift.
