    Sure he does, becsuse all time-measuring devices of any sort in his house are analogue and have to be changed manually, and none them have phones which automatically corrects the time.

    So in essences they have some clocks in theirs houses which are off by an hour for four months a year. They still use the time everyone else uses, because that’s how time works.

      You can pretty easily disable automatic daylight savings time adjustments on most devices, even my car has the option.

        Aye you can. But I just don’t believe in a whole family pretending to live in a different time than everybody else’s for 4 months.

        I do believe in lazy shits who don’t manage to change all the clocks which don’t get automatically updated, but for that person to actually put in effort to dodge the Daylight savings time? Not believable imo. You’d have to be really fucking obstinate. And you’d have to get yourself wife and children to do it as well.

          I wouldn’t call myself a lazy shit just because I don’t care to update the clock on my fucking microwave, oven and kitchen scale. Why do all these devices have clocks anyways it does not make sense.

              A timer works independent of whatever the current time is because it only needs to count down the passage of time. Also everyone already has multiple clocks on walls, wrists and phones.

                There are lakes, ponds and puddles that exist beyond any particular ocean, if you can grasp the analogy.

                  I don’t know what you mean. I asked why do we need clocks on ovens. You said “to time cooking” but you can have a timer without a clock so it is still not needed and your answer is invalid.

                    I mean your lived experience isn’t automatically everyone else’s. In farm country, no one wears a watch, it’s dangerous. No one is hanging a wall clock in the kitchen. Food needs to be timed, as well as getting it on the table. Fun fact: a lot of us still prep a smaller meal between lunch and dinner, it generally coincides with UK tea time, or an hour earlier. Farm work is labor intensive and requires more calories. Please comprehend some people have different realities, different needs.

            I mean I meant like if you have clocks on the walls and such. If you have them already, why not change. But you can’t help your microwave wanting to show you the time.

            Mine doesn’t. Never had a digital one, don’t really need one, the dial ones are good enough. My oven or airfryer don’t have clocks either. My wristwatch and phone update themselves.

            I was more thinking like my dad always being too lazy to change the clocks on the walls. Didn’t mean to offend you.

      Digital clocks were a thing long before the internet.

        Digital in sense of how they displayed time, sure, but not digital in how they update it. Not connected.

        Not online. Offline clocks, I should’ve said.

        Who would think digital clocks are newer than the Internet wth

            The time-keeping in Central Europe is a bit different than ours here in the Nordics I see.

            Either I’m so high that I’ve forgotten, or I learned something new from reading that. Thanks. TIL.

            Doctors and scientists argue that standard time is better for our health. Our internal clock is better aligned with getting light in the morning, which, in turn, sets us up for better sleep cycles.

            Obviously.
