“Why can’t daylight saving time happen on a Friday at 4 pm?” We’ll end with another quote from an unknown speaker who really should be given all of the awards on Earth for this idea: Can We “Spring Forward” At a Better Time? Hopefully losing an hour of sleep doesn’t also mean losing your job. “Just a reminder that it’s daylight savings this weekend which means I’ll be late to work on Monday when I forget it’s daylight savings.” On that topic of not remembering to change the clocks, most of us forget about daylight savings time altogether until it’s too late. So, it’s understandable when this quote on a protest sign popped up: “What do we want? Our hour back! When do we want it? An hour ago!” -Unknown 9. It’s unclear why we do it, our clocks are never right, and we lose an hour of sleep randomly in the middle of the year. Most people bemoan daylights savings time, and for pretty valid reasons. While this joke would’ve slayed in 2009, you’re better off without it 10 years later. Take this gem, for example: “Daylight saving time occurs because Chuck Norris hits snooze on his alarm clock.” The things that were funny in the old days of 2009 are just, well, not that funny anymore. Just as time moves forward despite daylights savings time adjustments, humor moves forward too. It’s also the clock in the car, our watches, radios, the oven, the television, and basically any other clock that doesn’t switch automatically (thank God for smartphones, right?). It’s not just the microwave if we’re being honest. “Get ready to have your microwave display the wrong time for the next 8 months because you don’t want to break out the instruction manual,” -Unknown. Laziness, Not Time, Is the One Constant In Life Whether it’s time or money, at least we save something! 6. With inflation, the hour will be the only thing I’ve saved all year.” “I don’t mind going back to daylight saving time. We’re a bit skeptical as to whether that really works, but comedian Victor Borge puts the idea of saving into perspective for us: Saving Something At Leastīenjamin Franklin, we now know, proposed daylights savings time to save money. But why do we do it, really? When does it even start and end? This blog knows, but not many other people do.
There is vague, general knowledge that it has something to do with farming, or perhaps to save money.
“You will never find anybody who can give you a clear and compelling reason why we observe daylight saving time,” says author Dave Barry. We borrow an hour one night in April we pay it back with golden interest five months later.“ 4. “An extra yawn one morning in the springtime, an extra snooze one night in the autumn is all that we ask in return for dazzling gifts. Simple GiftsĪfter a few cynical quotes, let’s do a positive one about daylight savings time, shall we? Winston Churchill gave us this nice quote to make us feel a bit better about losing sleep one day in the spring:
This wouldn’t be the first stupid thing the government has done, either. “Daylight saving time: Only the government would believe that you could cut a foot off the top of a blanket, sew it to the bottom, and have a longer blanket.” Speaking of the government, an unknown speaker gave us this funny quote: So was DST simply a money-making scheme for the government? Are we really saving a ton of money on candles? According to Ben Franklin, we are. Here’s an excerpt from that essay: “An immense sum! That the city of Paris might save every year, by the economy of using sunshine instead of candles.” He proposed in an essay that the people of Paris could save huge amounts of money by waking up when the sun came up instead of shelling out money for candles and oil. Where did daylight savings time originate in the first place? One of the first people to suggest something like DST was Benjamin Franklin. Let’s learn a little more about DST, shall we? We’ve got 10 quotes for you about daylight savings time that are funny, real, and representative of the general attitude over this confusing, clock-switching practice. That’s how you can easily remember which way to turn the clocks when daylights savings time rolls around once again.īut what else do you know about daylight savings time? Besides that, most people only know that you get confused about the clocks moving forward or back, about which time you gain/lose an hour of sleep along with completely forgetting to change your car’s built-in clock and panicking that you’re an hour late to something.
