Imagine the time changing twice a year for no fucking reason 😂

Aaand this is how I learned tomorrow is daylight savings.
It was last week in Europe (or Nordic countries anyway, not sure how consistent it is tbh)
It’s harmonized across the EU at least
*in some random, unknown part of the world
Perfect Halloween… Yet I was stuck with a vacuum pump attached to my back not able to party 🤣😭
Actually it was Daylight Saving Time on November 1 back in 2009 (17 years ago). It was a great night.
Instead I was in bed by midnight and totally sober. I think I had more fun
There is some weird loophole in Baltimore that allowed bars to stay open all night on new years eve, and the first year I lived there I didn’t know about it. Was very confused when I left the bar and the sun was coming up.
Weak club that didn’t go past 2
Lol in Germany clubs have to get a special permit to allow the club to be open past 12 am on Halloween because November 1st you’re not allowed to dance. Having a legal party that went after 12 am on Halloween was radical back when I was a teen
Dancing is illegal in November??
Nah, just on November 1st since it is a religious holiday.
There are a couple more no-dance holidays, November 1st is just the one that started to become most noticeable because of the emerging Halloween parties in the 2000s
That’s such a weird law to have in modern day
It’s heavily criticized and campaigned against. I mean no one will call the police if they see you dancing or throwing a private party at home (I think, though I don’t know about rural areas). It’s more for businesses and public screenings. It is absolutely outdated. My guess is that the federal lands will eventually abandon them, they just don’t get around to do it.
What happens if you dance on a nodance holiday?
Straight to jail
I don’t understand. Every Halloween there is a weekend before or after (well almost) where we in the US get another hour to drink at a bar. I did it for 15 years straight. And that was 15 years ago.
I think the point is that it’s happening on Halloween…
what is so special on halloween?
I don’t know how to lay it out any plainer than that.
It’s a holiday where people are going out to party in a club where they, when they think the night is over because the club is closing at 2am instead, get told they have an additional hour to party because the clocks got rolled back 1 hr for Daylight Savings.
Sometimes, I feel like I’m talking to aliens.
Lol nope. My bar closed at 2/1am and told everyone to get tf out. I also work at 10 in the morning so its perfect for me
Australian here horrible horrible daylight savings started 3-4 weeks ago.
Why do I have to be the pendentic one that says it’s daylight saving and not daylight savings.
Well axetuly you dont
I don’t understand what DST has to do with it?
An extra hour appears in the middle of the night, while folks are partying, leading to some…extra-spooky haunting, ya might say.
