Thanks! I usually see memes on social media about it, but haven’t seen anything. Since I’ve gotten used to that as my reminder in the past, I forgot until this thread!
@narfcake Yes. I’m sorry. All the kitties that I interact with are very confused (but the neighborhood strays I feed do seem to appreciate the earlier breakfast).
@gt0163c@narfcake Yes I hate it the other way around as they then try, for a while, to wake me at 5:30am central (even though I refuse to feed them before 7am in either savings or standard).
I forgot until I was going to bed and saw my phone go from 1:55 to 3:00 (thought I lost time). Tripped me out for a minute until I remembered what weekend it was.
@Star2236
we have analog clocks throughout our hospital that are linked to a transponder on the roof so that they all read the same time. Looks like a propeller when the time changes!
@chienfou@Star2236
A similar setup at a hospital nearby failed dramatically several years ago, and each of the in-room clocks was displaying what amounted to a random time for several days.
@Star2236@werehatrack
Ours have been up for a long time and are starting to show some problems as well. Occasionally they don’t keep time well and you have to pull the battery and then stick it back in and hope that it catches up.
Looks like Meh forgot to turn their clocks ahead like the rest of us. It’s midnight in NY (March 14th)and meh.com still has March 13th deal on. What gives?
Merci

@LaserEyes
Are we supposed to Spring forward or Fall back?
It’s so confusing. How could we have possibly managed to tell time before the 1900s?
And magnets. How do they work?
@mike808
yes.
@heartny
I like it!
@heartny Naw, British Summer Time isn’t for two weeks.

@lonocat
Time for next cat nap?

[Congress weighs permanent daylight saving time in a debate as regular as clockwork][1]
[CSPAN: Congressional hearing][2]
Many experts say the yo-yo effects of changing the clock every spring and fall has detrimental effects on the body’s natural circadian rhythms, leading to additional stress and possibly heart attacks.
Many people like it to be lighter in the evenings to enjoy time with families after work, including outdoors.
Many parents hate having their students going to school in the dark in the mornings.
Where do you stand on this?

Star this reply if you want to keep the system as is, Spring Forward, Fall Back
Star this reply if you want permanent Daylight Savings Time, i.e., lighter in the evenings.
Star this reply if you prefer the old system, before DST, i.e., lighter in the mornings, darker earlier in the evenings.
@phendrick Link descriptions/URLs got scrambled; I didn’t have time to edit, but the links work anyhoo.
@phendrick Star this reply if you prefer to only see stars at night.
@Kidsandliz Yeah, I hate it when awards shows are on during the daylight hours.
(That includes the daytime emmys.)
