One million seconds is 11.6 days

One billion seconds is 31.7 years

If the 300m people lived in the same area and you got a true random sample.

Sunsets at 9:09 today in Michigan

Sunsets at 8:04 today in California

Sunsets at 8:34 today in North Carolina

Sunsets at 7:57 today in Alabama

Sunsets at 7:38 today in Arizona (They are on standard time)

Sunsets at 7:13 today in Hawaii

Sunsets at 11:36 today in Alaska

Someone in Arizona might want the sun to set at 7:38. It’s blazing hot all day.

Someone in Michigan might be fine with sunsetting at 8:08 with standard time.

Someone in Alabama might not want the sun to set at 6:57.

Someone in Hawaii probably doesn’t want the sun to set at 6:13.

Even if you split up the 1000 people to equally represent all states, that’s only 20 people per state.

Ahh, yes, 1002 people is a large sample size, like .003% of the population.

Your article is also about switching. Doesn’t say anything about if people would prefer to stay on DST or standard time.

“Summer time” is DST

If you removed DST, we would always be on standard time.

What you are saying is make DST permanent, not removing DST

Why do you want the sun to set early?

I’d rather have an extra hour of sun after work than an hour of sun before work

I think most people enjoy DST. Most complain when it’s dark at 5 pm.

That’s the whole difference between torx vs Phillips.

Theoretically, you should never break a screw shaft with Phillips because they are designed to cam out before enough torque is applied to break the shaft of the screw.

It’s supposed to be a feature

Doesn’t even water filter it. 9/10

Good take

I wouldn’t even be against sharing some information so they could give me better ads

I’m not in the market for a new car. I don’t need car ads.

But knowing I shop at Something Hardware a lot and they are having a spring black friday sale on the tool I’ve been eyeing would be nice.

Even still Something Hardware just slapping their logo in an ad is not helpful at all.

If ads were helpful they wouldn’t be annoying

The 100 gramer burger

Social security would be a ponzi scheme if it wasn’t done by the government. System only works because new younger people are “convinced” to put in money to pay the old in hopes that new younger people will pay them in the future.

The social security liability is currently 23 trillion. If no new people started paying in and everyone wanted to cash out, they couldn’t get a dime.

We are 33 trillion dollars in debt. 33 trillion.

If we as a country ever tried to cut spending and save money to pay that down, our economy would collapse so fast.

Celcius isn’t rocket science

For 99% of things it’s simply reading a thermometer or typing in numbers on a device to set a temperature.

Just like I would have to look up what temperature to bake my cookies, 325°F, 350°F, 400°F. I’d have to look it up to cook them in C.

Me “knowing” the system doesn’t help me. Because I have no idea what 325°F really is. That would cook my skin, no way I’m “feeling” it. All it is is just a number to me. If I had to push 325 or 163 on my oven it makes no difference to me.

When someone says I put a liter of gas in my car, I can reasonably think and know what a liter is. To me, the easiest way is that it’s half of a 2L of soda because soda is sold in metric liters, and it gives me a reference. I also know that a liter is basically 1/4 gallon.

But when you say 28°C, I have nothing to compare it to. I know 40°C is really hot, and 20°C is basically room temperature. Even that doesn’t even help me. So I guess I can deduce it’s somewhere in the middle? It’s 82°F. But I have no reference to how 28°C feels.

82°F. Is low 80’s, I know what low 80’s feels like. Easy for me to figure out the realitive temperature.

Fahrenheit and weather temperatures just line up so good at 0-100.

But if you just thought of 82°F as 82% hot you could easily get a general idea of how hot it is.

Livable temperatures are between 50°F and 100°F. Humans like it halfway between the two. ~75% hot. 65°F is a cold house, 85°F is a hot house. 99% of homes are between those two and still averages to 75°F.

1°F is smaller than 1°C.

82°F vs 83°F a normal person wouldn’t be able to tell the difference. But you know, as it approaches 85°F or 90°F it’s definitely heating up.

I could say 93°F. 93% hot. That’s pretty hot. I’m sure you could wrap your mind around that.

But tell me 34°C and how am I suppose to really quickly wrap my head around that?

6° less than the hottest realistic temperature outside? I don’t even know how 1°C drop feels, much less 6°.

• or - 5°C

23°F to 41°F is -5°C to 5°C

If it’s below 40°F I’d be cautious of Ice. Once again, it doesn’t matter that water freezes at exactly 32°F at standard pressure.

It’s like boiling water. No one puts a thermometer in water to make sure that it hits 100°C exactly.

150°F water will scald you in a second (65°C)

140°F water will scaled you in 3 seconds (60°C)

120°F water will scaled you in 10 minutes (50°C)

+100°F water has the potential to scaled you (~40°C)

I’d rather know that +100°F water has a chance to burn me than remembering +40°C has a chance.

That’s way more important knowledge than the freezing and boiling temperatures of water at standard pressure.

Water freezes at 0°C at standard pressure, sea level.

If you are above or below, it will be different.

Saying “It’s not 0°C outside so there’s no ice on the road” is dumb. Because there could definitely be ice on the road.

You should be looking out for other things while driving. Not if the one thermometer, who knows where, is saying that it’s 0°C or not.
