This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Fuck that. Keep daylight savings time and end standard time. I like my daylight when I can actually use it; after work.

Making everyone wake up an hour earlier is abusive

We're in daylight savings time now, let's just stay there. That way no one's schedule has to change again.

The AMA is concerned with disruptions to circadian rhythms due to time changes. If we stick to daylight savings time there won't be any more time changes.
