What are ye on aboot min? Daylight savings was introduced to save the amount of energy we use on artificial light.
I think reducing the need for artificial light was part of the reason to begin with back in the day and during wars etc but that still canny be the reason for it nowadays. its just nonsense.
I don’t see your point Mormanski? We longer ration food. We no longer have outside toliets (not officially anyway). We no longer allowed to beat our wives. So why stick with this anachronism?
I’m no defending daylight savings time. I’m saying that having artificial light is not a reason to scrap it. The system was not set up before artificial light existed and furthermore was partly the reason for daylight savings being adopted.
It’s akin to saying, speed limits should be banned now we have the motorised vehicle.
I do think we should keep daylight savings because I prefer having more daylight in the evening. This increases my propensity to pursue outdoor leisure activities during the week.
The amount of daylight is irrelevant to the indoor triumvirate pasttimes of:
1. Ping Pong
2. Youtube
3. Chronic masturbation
So why do you need it Mormanski?
You have much to learn about Ping Pong and Chronic Masturbation Maverickmcp.
Yes to your first point…
