does it really give more sunlight? I question. If no DST, where does the sunlight go? Is it not a constant?

it does, but we just sleep it away -- that's the idea

but we just sleep it away

so instead of changing our clocks to match the sunlight, we should just move our schedules around sunlight

that would be way less confusing

no need to always start school at 7am, just make it earlier in the summer and later in the winter, but no, we have to change our clocks

like wtf humanity, it could be so easy lol

maybe this is dumb for some reason that I can't see right now but it looks like a trivial solution that I literally just came up

edit: just saw @cointastical had the same idea in #936317

yes; we should.
(the same time of "should" that's involved in "we shouldn't smoke", "we should exercise more", "we shouldn't eat sugar" etc etc)
