It shines out of your arse

I lost mine. This evening, I was excited and told my partner “at least we get an extra hour of sleep tonight!” and she told me, no and I already got my extra hour this morning!

I was thinking we’d done well to get the kids into bed 30 minutes earlier and they’d have an extra hour of sleep, when in fact they’d actually had a longer day.

DST ends in North America with clocks going back in the early hours of Sunday morning, bringing back the usual time difference with Europe.

Don’t forget clocks go forward tonight in Europe for summertime until end of October.

…… spring, ahead!

Spring forward, fall back.

Like my dyslexic friend putting shoe Polish on his penis…
“You idiot” I shout “you were supposed to turn your clock back!”

88

Forward, Forward, Forward Not B(L)ACK

What…, turn my cock forward?

this time change makes everyone ga ga :money_mouth_face:

91

More than usual?

Seems so from some of the replies in this forum at times. :upside_down_face:

One of the worst things is trying to go to sleep an hour early.

94

No need to waste time on that. After a couple of days you will be tired 2-3 hours early and after that it’s back to “normal”.
Listen to my body is my mo.

It’s not the going to bed early; it’s the missing hour in the morning for me. Takes a few days to adjust to it.

96

Yes me too. They should instead turn the clocks forward everyday at 12 noon. And then reset them again at midnight.

This daylight saving thing is a selfish instrument of the working class.

Look, I can’t complain too much when it’s DST here in Switzerland, the S. Hemisphere DST shuffle is the worst! My sisters in Melbourne and Auckland might as well be on another planet half the year. Right now with DST ending there in a few hours, we’re down to just 8 and 10 hours apart, practically neighbors by Aussie/Kiwi standards!

But then winter time hits here, DST kicks in there and boom, suddenly they’re 10 and 12 hours ahead!

So I can only enjoy these golden months where the time difference makes actual more sense! Come October we’ll be right back to 'Wait, is it midnight there already? ’ madness …

Now picture my sweet, technologically challenged grandparents, the kind of people who call every smartphone ‘a Natel’, trying to use their mental time-zone calculator to figure out when it’s not the middle of the night ‘down under’.

What’s the problem, they can set as many local-time clocks in their smart natels as they like (or you do it for them once).
