daylight savings is homophobic

as a sleepy gay it inconveniences me

Like, could we just PICK ONE?

I mean, I’d rather it stay light later, but for the love of god, this switching thing actually kills people. 

The worst part is that jenroses is 100% correct and not even exaggerating.

Due to the stress/strain of the “spring forward” moving everybody’s schedules up an hour/making us lose an hour, i.e. messing with people’s sleep schedules, heart attacks actually go up right after the Daylight Savings switch.

I wouldn’t be surprised if asthma attacks and other, similarly can-be-aggravated-by-stress conditions did too (I mean for pete’s sake I literally got sick this weekend myself!), and I would be utterly unsurprised to hear that say, car accidents went up (enough sleep loss is equivalent to being drunk in terms of impairment, after all), but the “ER visits from heart attacks” stat is the only one I’ve actually seen specifically cited before.

But ya’ll know there’s people getting sick/hurt/injured from the Sudden Shift in Schedule resulting in Sleep Loss, right? Literally.

Daylight savings time switch literally fucking kills people, every year, and the worst part is IIRC there’s no good goddamn reason for it.

It’s not “for farmers” or “to conserve candle wax” or any of the quaint BS you’ve probably been handed for it in the past (because frankly, think about it, none of those explanations even makes sense; farmers get up before sunrise anyway?? Who uses candles anymore??) it was literally like

some guy

who liked to play ~sports~ like fucking golf 

who wanted an extra hour of daylight for it.

Let me reiterate:

People are not only inconvenienced but have actual heart attacks

because some rich dude who ain’t even alive anymore

wanted to play an extra hour of golf during summers

fuck daylight savings time

Yep
