I think it's silly, IMO.
Willett's 1907 proposal argued that DST increases opportunities for outdoor leisure activities during afternoon sunlight hours. The longer days nearer the summer solstice in high latitudes offer more room to shift daylight from morning to evening so that early morning daylight is not wasted.[24] DST is commonly not observed during most of winter, because its mornings are darker: workers may have no sunlit leisure time, and children may need to leave for school in the dark.[40]
Something like that.

Me on daylight savings: lolwuh
I hardly get why we have to change it, people already end up saying things like "Around this time of the year it'll get darker earlier (or later)" Even when it's in affect or not, and to me it seems to make people lazier, they don't keep time of the year as a very high thing to be aware of, at all.

Saskatchewan doesn't have daylight savings. That's the only good thing about it.
And I'm totally okay with offending anyone on this forum that lives in Saskatchewan.

Daylight saving is retarded. There's no decent reason to use it.

We changed to daylight saving time system for 2 years over here, after that every province went "QQ NO WE WON'T DO IT THIS YEAR", so Buenos Aires (capital) didn't, and then we changed back to no daylight saving. yay o;
