    I don’t understand all these daylight savings memes. Over here it’s on the last Sunday of March. Is it different in the Americas?

      Only in certain regions, which goes to show how dumb it is. While it may have served a purpose early in the early 20th century to make better use of longer daylight hours away from the equator, by now enough of farming and commerce takes place regardless. Even portions of the west coast passed legislation to do away with it, but it sits in a holding pattern in congress.

        Wow, I never knew that the day itself also was different in some places! I’m looking forward to the day it’s finally abolished here.
