Comment on Daylight saving has 80% support in Australia and a majority in every state
MiDaBa@lemmy.ml 2 months agoEvenings are the exact same length regardless of where you set your clock. Thinking DST gives you extra time is the same as someone who sets their clock fast so they have extra time to get ready for work. It just doesn’t make sense to trick yourself. If you want a longer evening then talk to your employer about it.

Of course it doesn’t generate extra time, there’s still 24 hours a day. What is does is adjust for the earths orbit and tilt, which means that seasonally we can have daylight during the regular working hours. The nice consequence is that there is more daylight hours in the evening. You must have a very generous employer who lets you change your working hours based on the seasons when you want to do evenings activities!
