    I'm not sure why everyone thinks it's for farmers. If farmers needed a different schedule they can just wake up earlier or later, they don't have to have the clock revolve around them.

    If I recall correctly, the only reason we still have DST in the US is because of some corporate lobbying, like always.

    Kind of like the zinc lobby getting involved everytime getting rid of the US penny ($0.01) comes up.

    Me to I'll take all your pennies dated prior to 1982 when they were 95% copper. Melt them (illegal btw) and the copper is worth $0.025. More than double the face value.

    We already voted to be rid of it, don't know if they'll ever follow through on it though.

    The problem is that animals have really accurate internal clock. When food suddenly arrives an hour late or early, they get stressed out.
    They should just be ranchers then and stop feeding their livestock anti-biotic and hormone lace food.


    Either do the 30/30 split or leave it where there is more light in the evening.

    Yes, which is why the farmers should just keep a constant time, or slowly move it if they really want to, and avoid shocking their animals.

    So this is a bad practice just for the sake of peoples health in general.
    Do you have a source for this? Never heard of this before. Seems like an incredibly stupid thing to believe.

    To be fair, getting enough sleep isn't wrong or stupid.

    No, but claiming you're guaranteed to get major brain diseases if you don't is... Uh.. Not backed up by current science to the best of my knowledge.

    I think he's referring to https://www.nih.gov/news-events/lack...eimers-disease "Lack of sleep may be linked to risk factor for Alzheimer’s disease". It's only a Preliminary study and it's about Alzheimer's. A disease that nobody has been able to figure out for 30+ years.
