Wait, you guys switch from 2 to 1? We switch from 3 to 2. Also on a different weekend, but I knew that already. This one is new to me.
We do 4 to 3 and we did it last weekend since this Sunday is already November.
Time is one of those things that only exist to drive programmers crazy.
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
“Southern Germany” - Hamburg, Berlin etc. dont care about All Hallows Day
That’s true. I grew up in Munich and they take that super seriously. At least they did 10-15 years ago.
They still do. I heard it in the news yesterday.
It’s All Saints’. It’s also banned to show movies that mock religion like Life of Brian
In a weird way I like that. It is such a funny and harmless way of defying social order to watch a forbidden movie and dance on one of these blacklisted days. It’s absolutely outdated and ridiculous but that makes the rule breaking somewhat wholesome.
Hm well yes but it also a testament to history
And a real burden to clubs that want Halloween to be a good time for their patrons. Many Germans will report people having illegal fun even if nobody is actually harmed.
Imagine the time changing twice a year for no fucking reason 😂
This message brought to you by a place that isn’t bonkers
New Zealand‘s worst invention. Closely followed by instant coffee.
There used to be a reason, for farmers to have more light in the morning.
I never understood this argument because farmers are the least likely job to use the clock to tell them when to work… The idea of a farmer waiting for 8am to clock in is ridiculous.
Why cant farmers just set their alarm an hour earlier though, no need to drag everyone else into this
That’s a myth. Farmers in the US lobbied against the change. Animals and crops don’t care about the time, so it just meant they had to start work earlier on the clock.
If you check farmers’ out they can still do the same amount of work in daylight hours.
Daylight savings’ history is actually more white than you think. The law was passed by politicians that just wanted to golf earlier. Farmers are commonly used as the excuse because every accusations is a confession.
I was trying so hard to figure out why these tweets look weird, thinking maybe they were just fake tweets… Turns out these are “threads” from Threads and that’s why they look weird, but ngl, I genuinely did not know anyone used Threads.
As you can see, at least 2 people use Threads. Maybe it’s kinda like the fediverse?
:angryupvote:
It seems like it really caught on with the Instagram demographic, since they auto enrolled you into threads if you have an IG.
I am surprised every time I get reminded that Threads exist. Yet I know therapist friends who get a ton of clients from posting on there.
I bet a therapist could clean up on lemmy
I’m a therapist 👀
That’s great, I have a transference kink. Want to chat with me wearing nothing but house slippers and a clown nose? C’mon, I can sense that you want to.
You kid, but I had someone get in touch with me through my contact form saying he has a fetish for therapist shoes and asking if I would be willing to sell my shoes to him. He was very polite about it.
Big therapy is infiltrating our spaces!
Never! I’m a small time progressive, neurodivergent therapist. I’m one of you!
Great. Now we can’t be honest lest we get committed
I don’t believe in sending people to hospitals against their will unless they are an active danger to themselves or others. Tons of my clients are passively suicidal (complex trauma), and we just work on that in therapy. In my 6 years of therapy, I only had to call 911 once, and that’s because the client directly asked me to.
Are you also an analyst perchance? You could become a real analrapist
😂 made my night
hey
I used threads for a while, you have no idea how batshit threads ppl are
Instagram (and presumably other meta apps) push threads, you can accidentally sign up and be sent to download the app vv easily if you aren’t paying attention.
The ads for it are integrated better than ads.
That and you can’t block them.
its full of random posts, and people Ratioing AI stuff with pictures of random stuff. Its a good place to be
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…
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
I had no idea that happened until right now lol
*in some random, unknown part of the world
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.
Where is this that the clock goes from 2 to 1? Here in Europe it always goes from 3 to 2 or from 2 to 3 when it goes in the other direction.
2 to 1 in the UK
The East Coast of the United States
I’ve experienced a few of these crazy nights on the dance floor myself
While you’re not wrong, it should be mentioned that the same thing happens in most of the rest of the country too.
Does it? I remember that, 25 or so years ago when I lived in the central time zone, the switch happened at 12/1 am.
Maybe I’m misremembering. It was a long time ago.
It doesn’t really. It goes from 2:59 (DT) to 2:00 (ST). But if a place says they close at 02:00, I suppose they could choose to interpret that time as the second one.
In the spring, it goes from 1:59 (ST) to 3:00 (DT)
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.
Why do I have to be the pendentic one that says it’s daylight saving and not daylight savings.
If you’re being pedantic you should know how to spell pedantic.
Well axetuly you dont
