That's right! In a week from now, the US will be losing an hour as we spring ahead to Daylight Savings Time. So when the time comes, set your clocks to one hour ahead (unless if it's automatic). I know it's a little too early to talk about it, but it's in one week. If you have anything to discuss about Daylight Savings or the idea, this is the thread to talk about it on.

... It's something that happens. What is there to discuss?

You can talk about your opinion on what you think of Daylight Savings, and why you think it's good or bad.

Daylight Savings is the single most moronic thing ever invented. I am fine with early nights, I don't give a dang about some turds in sunny countries wanting to have more time in the sun when they are bathing in sunlight already. Just be grateful for what you have and stop this nonsense. That's my opinion.

The problem I have is trying to remember which of my devices change the time automatically and which ones I have to change manually. And which ones are supposed to change automatically but haven't yet. I did have an analogue watch but it fell apart so everything's digital atm and I always have to rely on the internet or TV to tell me what the actual time is. Same when going to another timezone. Nightmare. Stick everyone on GMT all the time and let's be done with it.

I agree that we should stop messing with the clock. But first, let's go ahead one hour, and then we're done. If you want to know which devices are automatic, those would be things like computers and cell phones. But for gaming systems and regular clocks, those needed to be changed manually.

We have one clock that changes on its own, but is still using the old dates for doing so. ..and not a big fan of daylight savings time. For the longest time my state didn't change. Now it does... ugh. What is even sillier is we are on EST and have CST states above and below us. ...go figure.

What is even sillier is we are on EST and have CST states above and below us. ...go figure. That reminds me about Arizona and their perspective of Daylight Savings. During Standard Time, Arizona is on Mountain Time. During Daylight Time, Arizona is on Pacific Time. The reason: they don't observe Daylight Savings. Since DS was invented mainly for farming, and the fact that Arizona is always dry (thus, making it a bad state for farming), there's no need to use DS time in Arizona.

Ummm... DST wasn't invented for farming. It was for workers to enjoy more time in the sun after their work hours were over. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daylight_saving_time

Each time the time changes, i keep forgetting wether i must get out of bed earlier or later. And that's why i don't understand a thing of savings.

Changing the clock has both advantages and disadvantages: Second Sunday of March: Advantage - We get later sunsets. I can even catch the 8 o'clock sun (in the PM hours). Disadvantage - We lose an hour, which means one less hour of sleep or we work one hour earlier. First Sunday of November: Advantage - We get one extra hour, which means we work one hour later or one more hour of sleep. Disadvantage - It gets dark too early, especially since sunset can start earlier than 5 o'clock.

Not really much for me to say on the matter other than I really hope Queensland doesn't start using daylight savings. It's had a few trial runs of sorts over the years but not during my lifetime, thankfully, it's just not needed here.

The hell is daylight savings? It's the time of the year where your clock is one hour ahead of normal. So let's say that you live in the UK, which had a UTC time. During Daylight Savings, it's UTC+1. I live in Central Time. During Daylight Savings, it feels like Eastern Time, but it's really Central Time - on Daylight Savings.

British summer time u noob If we translate the Finnish version to English, it translates as summer time too. Americans are weird with their lack of u's, elevators, bills, daylight savings and zees. Real zed in my opinion.

You have something against people named Bill? lol I heard that DST was all the clocks fault. Apple said it got too far ahead of itself and caused all this carnage.

I first thought he was talking about the bills you pay rather than the people with the name. 2. I can clarify the Eastern Time and Central time in the spoiler in case others don't know about it. So we know that Daylight Savings time is one hour ahead of Standard Time. Here's an example: California on normal time is on Pacific Standard Time (PST), which is eight hours behind Universal Time Coordinate (UTC). I have a list of US times in equivalences: PDT (UTC-7) = MST MDT (UTC-6) = CST CDT (UTC-5) = EST Eastern Daylight Time (EDT) is four hours behind UTC. Although I like the eight o'clock sun, I am getting tired of changing the clock. Did you know that my Vita system, my PS3 system, and my 3DS system are on Daylight Time right now? It's been this way even back on the day we fell back. They're still going to be on Daylight Savings Time, even if the current clock disagrees.

It's pretty stupid for what it really is; moving scheldules back and forth.

Daylight savings time has just began here in the US. In my time zone, we are now five hours behind UTC, instead of six.

Why do Americans call it UTC? Can't you spell Greenwich?

UTC (universal time coordinate) is what Wikipedia calls GMT (Greenwich mean time). I prefer UTC over GMT.

LOL, I don't even know what UTC is. To Google, awaaaaaay! Ah, Coordinated Universal Time. Um, ok. I still use GMT. Just the way I was taught. Also, saw this the other day. https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-lGJCbLZvq4c/T3AJGBmornI/AAAAAAAAF1Y/5JMufUF1KIg/w500/daylight-savings-indian-wise-saying-sad-hill-news.jpg
