Is there really still confusion about amount of daylight when clocks are changed forward/backward?

It's not the loss of an hour's sleep, it's all about the abrupt change in
light. Whether you're now driving to work in the dark when yesterday it was bright, or whether you want to take sunrise photos before the roads get clogged with commuters, for those of us sensitive to the rhythms of the seasons and the
slow change of light, moving the clocks an hour is painful! (and no, I haven't traveled outside my own time zone in a decade
)

That's possible. It may be more difficult for some people to quickly make the adjustment.
One construction job I had, they did what Bebu has mentioned in this thread, only it was
because the clocks had changed.
Starting the workday in the dark, led to more inconvenience for that first part of the day because measuring and marking materials was too difficult then. Rather than go through the extra labor to set up lighting for that small part of the day, the start times were adjusted as needed.
But then, no matter light or dark, for some it didn't matter what time the clock said at start time. If their head was in the fog, it was in the fog regardless of the clock or the daylight.

The extra hour of daylight is what is causing global warming. If we could spring back and fall forward, for an extra hour of darkness, we could reverse global warming.
There is no change in daylight. Climate change is a result of out putting CO2 in the atmosphere.

Or natural warming, which the planet has been doing since the Ice Age.
Oh, wait, too many Mammoth farts.....
Oh really?
Every time someone says that we get " an extra hour of daylight" I tell them about global warming. And every time, they respond "There is no change in daylight".
Exactly. The whole "extra hour of daylight" argument is bogus.

Hold on to your hat... climate change of late is measured in decades and not millennium. We have changed the atmosphere in ways that have not been seen during the time there have been people on earth. There is a direct correlation of CO2 and earth temperature. We have no idea of how this will end up. Once it starts, it may not be possible to stop.

Maybe it won't be long before we begin seeing ads between the posts on UHH for clocks with built-in time storage capsules.....
.....and help-needed topics in the posts:
"Help!!......Clock
Hi UHH helpful group.
Can anyone tell me if there is an easy way to retrieve the time I put in my clock storage capsule last March?
I've tried every button I can find on this contraption, and no time is coming out of that capsule. Can these things leak, or become corrupted, so that the time is not recoverable?
It's the PrimeTime Sublime in the color lime, if that makes any difference."
That is fascinating! br br Maybe it won't be long... (

Will it still work in 2028?
Do I have to purchase any updates as they come out so I don't lose anything to obsoleted time tech?
