 IT IS ABSOLUTELY RETARDED THAT AMERICANS CHANGE TIME MEASUREMENT TWICE A YEAR. 
 AGREED 
 Yep…and us fcktards donut here in Oz too. 
 NOT IN QUEENSLAND WE DONT 🫡
SAME TIME ALL YEAR ROUND HERE. 
 Wait... The Marie is also in QLD? I always thought you were closer to Sydney.  
 In QLD but I do travel to Syd regularly. 
 Can’t believe that it is still a thing! WTF America? 🐶🐾🤣 
 Literally the 8th plank of Marx’s Communist Manifesto 
 lol! 
 Arizona does not play that game. 
 I hate it. It’s really not physiologically good for us.

Fuck ‘em. We should just pick one and if someone has an issue with it we’ll hand them a Kleenex with “cry harder” written on it. 
  #TimeChain  
 We should. 
 For real it’s been the standard for 15 years now… 
 TIME IS AN ILLUSION YOU CANNOT SEE TASTE OR TOUCH TIME 
 I 💜 #nostr knowing my heroes are here at this exact moment, during a social platform & monetary revolution, reiterates the answer to my “why I’m here - meaning of life” 21million sat question.
To be a simple brick, at a foundation level, for a protocol that will survive Millenia is FREEDOM ON A LEVEL UNFATHOMABLE to most! 😎🧡💜 
 I agree. Let’s opt-out 
 It is absolutely retarded that this god forsaken country exists 
 It's a powerplay at this point. Or laziness.  
 Oh are we doing that bullshit again already? 
 ABOUT AS DUMB AS inches, feet, miles, lbs, ounces, etc… Oh yeah, and as dumb as worldwide taxation, because Americans are tax slaves for life no matter where you move 
 What’s more retarded is most of Canada changes time measurement but not all of the country… 🤡🌎 
 US state of Arizona doesn’t change 
 We live in a wild world 
 Canada is clown-world. 
 Can confirm 
 That’s not the only messed up clock… https://image.nostr.build/427a5158f6b532fd48c2c0ba4a84a957796f64b777c24cf56e0cabf2ac3369a7.jpg  
 International Fixed Calendar was used by Kodak…

“By 1928, Kodak had implemented Costworth's calendar and Eastman himself took on the responsibility of promoting it to the world on his dime.”

“Favored by leaders in transportation and logistics, the International Fixed Calendar was a favorite of Kodak founder George Eastman, whose company used it until 1989.”

 And it's so much more ridiculous in Alaska.

 Wait that happens tonight? FUCK! 
 'been yelling about this my whole life. no one listens. it's the most fiat thing we do. 
 lol it’s absolutely pointless 
 About as dumb as changing the price of capital arbitrarily 
 They do it all the time through inflation, so ... 
 Not just America  
 People die 
 Daylight Savings is a shitcoin. 
 TO BE FAIR ITS MORE RETARDED THAT WE HAVE 12 MONTHS OF DIFFERENT LENGTHS 
 UTC maxi reporting in.

Local time zones are a shitcoin. 
 833985 🫡 
 UTC FOR FUTURE TIME - BLOCK HEIGHT FOR PAST TIME. THIS IS THE WAY. 
 How about a block height to UTC datetime conversion tool ? I could quickly hack something together. 
 Hi @miljan when comes the option to switch to block height time?
☝️ 
 Daylight savings time is definitely a shitcoin but time zones are based on the sun 
 There is only ever now 
 You’re saying Time is only a magazine 
 GTFO EST  
 Facts 
 Tell me you’re a flat eather without telling me you’re a flat earther 
 Reporting in as well!  I don't care what angle the sun appears to be from my current perspective.  I care about representing time consistently and unambiguously.   
 It's different the further north you go. Summer daylight is super long and if we don't spring ahead, it gets daylight around 4:30am!  I'd rather stay at the spring ahead time all year and suffer the extra darkness in the winter mornings. But then kids go to school in the dark which has its safety concerns. 
 Puerto Rico doesn't change the time which makes it even weirder. Half the year I'm at the same time as the east coast and half the year there is an hour time difference. So dumb. 
 Bonkers and not just the the U S of A. 
 Forget fiat time, it’s all about block height  now. 
 Congress won’t fix it so it stays broken forever. 
 Daylight adjustment. 
 Ignorance is a way of life here for some 
 👏👏👏 
 twice a year, it's the dumbest thing that happens all week 
 BULLSHIT 
 Beyond retarded. 
 Bitcoin is time. 
 💯 
 That’s it. We opted out of fiat. Let’s just opt out of the time change as well. 
 That’s what I’m saying LETS GOOO 
 It’s psychological warfare 😅 
 True, like any other attempt to make our lives worse, sick and weak. 
 I AGREE 
 IT IS ABSOLUTELY REGARDED THAT ODELL CHANGES CAPS LOCK TYPOGRAPHY TWICE A CYCLE. 😜 
 CAPS FOR LIFE. 
 What's really retarded is that Europe does it too just at different times. Theres no standard when it comes to daylight savings. Talk about a shit coin 
 The stupid thing is that US and Europe used to change time at the same time, but Bush moved it in 2005 as a knee-jerk reaction to a perceived energy crisis at the time. The folly of men. 
 WEN EUROPE? 
 ON MARCH 31. 
 I love Daylight Savings (what we call it in Australia). I hate when it comes off and then it’s dark when I get home from work. Seems your whole day is gone. With Summer Time on, you get home and still have 2-3 hours of daylight to live a little. 
 You do realize the rotation of the Earth does not depend on how you set your clock, right? You could just start and leave work an hour earlier 
 Yes but you have to fit in with what society accepts as the time. You can’t always get to the office an hour earlier and leave an hour before everyone else does. That wouldn’t fly. 
 @miljan when comes this option in Primal settings? 
☝️ 
 lol, wrong post…. 
I need coffee 
 Been saying this for years it makes no sense that we still do this 
 You don't enjoy more sunlight in the evenings? If we didn't change it, everyone would be complaining about it being too dark 
 It would be more retarded to change it just once a year.

🫂 
 not surprising from the same country that refuses to use the metric system  
 Remember the ‘time lady’? 
 Aren’t we just changing the reference frame rather than the measurement? 
 It ain't "Americans" it's our leaders that keep the anachronisms alive.
