Except the stove didn't even know the time changed. My stove, at least, only would blink if the power went out. When the time changed, it'd just be an hour off.

    I mean.

    Why not go full technology?

    If daylight savings is to move the hours us humans operate in the world to make better use of the sun... Why not have all phones and devices move the tiny amount each day? Like have them adjust at 2am by 1 minute every few days...

    Nobody would even notice. We would live in the same sun hours space forever

    I have no idea what timezone my car thinks it’s in, but at least I know it’s not calling back anywhere to sync it.

    Mine is confused about timezones, because for some reason the clocks on the dashboard and on the middle screen are separate, but I never set the one on the screen because I never look at it so I forget it exists.

    We stopped doing daylight savings in Western Australia and it was literally unnoticeable when it stopped. The only reason I remember it's even a thing is when I need to calculate the time difference in the eastern states and it's either two or three hours different depending on time of year because they still do it.

    My body knows, and so does everyone else's, whether it informs their conscious mind or not. That's the real problem.

    Well... also my wall clocks. And my analog alarm clock. Plus you know, the sun and my kids waking me up and whatnot.

    But yeah, I guess my phone will change on its own.
