      Which part of the year is DST and which part is Standard Time?

      I know, but it seems like half the people that say they prefer DST have it backwards.

        It’s easy, the good part is DST (which is what we’re currently in - Spring through Fall in the northern hemisphere).

          It’s only good from spring to fall. Come winter and it’s a permanent depression.

            Strong disagree, under DST I get to experience some sunlight in then evenings. Under Standard time I get to watch the sun come up through the window and set through the window.

              I don’t know what you mean by evening, but it’s already dark at 16:00 during winter. You only get some light in the morning. DST means no more light in the morning and no more light in the evening. Complete depression. DST should not exist.

      The real problem is that across the globe there is like 50 different implementations of it. Some places have a fucking half hour, or some goofy shit. Really fun handling time zones with that sprinkled on top.
