You'd still have midnight, it just wouldn't necessarily be at 12 a.m. You could just number the hours 1 to 24 (or whatever, but 24 works OK), and the sun would come up at a different time everywhere. There's probably no great advantage either way, really.

>Who here sets their clocks a few minutes ahead to confuse yourself into believing you're late so you'll be early?<

I've never understood how one cons oneself this way. Compartmentalization or senility?

All the clocks in my house seem to be fast - computer, alarm clock, wall clock. (Though not my mobile phone or my watch.) I reset them and a few weeks later they're ten minutes fast again. I have no explanation for this. UNLESS! my house is in some kind of fast-time envelope.

When you talk to the neighbors, do they swat their hands like there's a bug buzzing around?

It doesn't make sense, but I always feel like life has returned to normal.

I mean, it was fun being able to mow the yard until 8 pm, but it was also unnatural.

Thing about the timeslip for me is that it messes with my meal times. I've already had breakfast and two lunches today and it's barely 3 oclock.

but of course trump will try and fuck w/ time if he gets the chance.

Said it before and I'll say it again. I dont understand why people hate daylight savings. Whats not to love about sunshine for hours after work?
