It's March 10th, 2024 and you've just woken up at 2am. You're confused because you thought your clock just said 1am but now it says 3am. "How can this be?" you ask yourself, "Did I just transport through time?!"
No, in fact, your phone is just participating in a time-honored tradition called Daylight Saving Time (NOT savings, which we'll get into later).
For some, DST is a welcome disruption, promising longer daylight hours and less time to sit in the darkness wondering whether you're on the right path or not. For others, DST is the bain of their existence.
No matter which camp you fall into, one thing is for certain, we all must participate whether we want to or not. Let's learn about DST, try to figure out why we do it, and settle the debate once and for all - should we observe DST or not?
