Bruh I literally forgor 💀
You notice when you wake up and the sun either is brighter or it is dark outside.
Me sitting here in Arizona not knowing what you’re all talking about then remembering I’m in Arizona.
I rely on smart devices to tell the time, but it’s easy to notice DST when the few dumb devices I have are out of sync. If I didn’t have any of those, I would have missed the switch entirely.
I was very confused why I woke up so early until I spotted my microwave in the late afternoon.
It would be nice if there was a little notification. Can’t believe there isn’t.
Don’t worry, the stove will remind you!
The perfect moment to say thank you to Paul Eggert
My car even switched automatically this year. Why brain gud when no need?
I had to stay up to push my sleep schedule back to catch an early flight. I didn’t know we were going back until it was about to be 2am (when I planned to go to sleep) and it was suddenly 1am. Normally I’m happy to get an extra hour of sleep but this time it meant having to wait an extra hour to sleep.
I was genuinely wondering why I woke up at 430 am. Like 530 is uncommon but 430?! The fuck?
Went back to bed, woke up before 8?? Like all week it was hard to get my laptop open for 8am but suddenly… what?
My girlfriend reminded me.
I knew someone who came to the UK as a student from Nigeria, which used the same timezone as British Summertime. His phone was still on Nigerian time and it took until monday when he realised that people weren’t at the bus stop and the bus was an hour late that he was living his life in a different timezone
I wear an automatic wristwatch pretty much all the time
My mom usually reminds me about daylight saving time, even though it’s unnecessary because I have no clocks to reset. I was surprised she didn’t bring it up to me this time
…okay yeah.
This is how it’s been for me for almost 25 years…
A number of years ago my wife and I visited Lubec, Maine, which is about the northeastern point of the state. Lubec has a bridge that connects to Campobello Island, which is Canadian. For whatever reason, Campobello is in a different time zone despite being physically only one or two hundred yards from the mainland.
I learned the hard way that the closest cell tower in the area was on Campobello, and since it’s in a different time zone it caused my phone to change time to an hour earlier. Luckily it resulted in us being an hour early for a harbor tour instead of an hour late.
My friends missed a wedding ceremony because of this, showed up an hour late and were very confused. I guess people who live right next to a timezone border turn off the automatic updates on their phone?
