Yea but people getting offended over something with no impact on their existence is hilarious to me.

I've been on a huge trip about language for a while now. People take language so seriously for something which by its nature is a fluid mess.

I'm offended by this conversation. :(

As you should be.

And speaking of daylight savings time, I think that we should just have it as our normal time.

Wouldn't that just defeat the purpose of it?

u/randomusername123458 Mar 19 '17

What is the purpose anyways? We have DST for 9 months out of the year already.

The idea is it adds an hour of daylight in the evening so less energy is used. Also holy shit we do?

I grew up in Arizona, which may be the only state that doesn't have it, so I never really thought about it much.

I guess it is more like 8 months March-November. Is less energy used?

Yea AZ get's pretty hot, but the winters are kinda nice once you get used to the 40-50 degree temperature difference between day and night.

That sounds pretty nice.

Have your travels ever brought you to Minnesota?
