As daylight saving time approaches the government works to calculate what time it really is

- It's daylight saving time tomorrow night, which means most Americans are begrudgingly preparing to set their clocks forward an hour. Changing the clock is a twice-yearly ritual from coast-to-coast, but it might surprise you to know that the U.S. government is still trying to figure out exactly what time it should be. Scott MacFarlane explains.

Why are we still doing this? It’s crazy.
You would understand why if we didn't
@@RichardMiller-tq6utyou're a real slow one.
@@JMyoutube1 slow or not, I don't want my children walking to school in the dark. Do you?
@RichardMiller-tq6ut they will be thanks to the time moving forward this weekend.
Once again, you're not to bright. But that's OK, you'll figure it out Monday morning when it's dark out at the time your children walk to school.
I hate this, it makes me have to wake up moody and angry 😤 this is the reason why people especially kids end up committing crimes cause not enough sleep 😴
Please get rid of daylight savings asap
oh my god that answer is so outdated, farmers don’t farm anymore. Machines do that they don’t even know what time it is you can run them at midnight they don’t care. We do not need an extra hour in the evening of daylight we need the sun to come up like a normal time at 6:30 in the morning. It’s so gross that people want it to be dark until 9 o’clock. It’s perfectly OK for her to get dark at like seven or 730 you will be OK
You should see me explaining to my dog what the hell is going on.
Daylight saving time is the work of the devil 😈.
Oh mine to
@@renebatsch2555
As long as their humans are proper and account for the differential, the dogs should not have any issues. All you lot have to do is move everything that they are accustomed to up by 1 hour.
Although I think doggies are friendly, they don't have a word language. Your doggy must like being fed an hour early, but I just have to hope losing an hour of sleep doesn't give your doggy heart stress.
Stop changing the time
I thought we already ended this. I thought this was done and over with.
Indiana did.
Blah blah blah...all talk still no action
I have an idea, move the clocks halfway between standard and Daylight Savings and leave it alone!!! Best of both worlds then.
Yes, absolutely, yes, this is a great idea and compromise!
The US has gone full year-round daylight saving time MULTIPLE TIMES over the years, and it never sticks, because DST in winter is MISERABLE. Most people just want to stop changing the clock and don't care which way we go. Health/sleep experts agree that STANDARD time, not daylight saving time, is where we should land, and year-round DST has already been proven a failure in the past. Can we please switch to year-round standard time?
Those experts cannot even scientifically test to determine whether Standard Time or DST is better for humanity. It's mostly a personal opinion in the end and not based on _any_ hard facts.
@@GeorgeVCohea-dw7ou Pretty clear you did not even bother to google anything
@@q00u
OMG, utilising Google to determine something scientifically is about as reliable as just making stuff up, like those so called _experts_ did! Their opinion is, at best, theoretical and not real world based knowledge nor experience. No US state currently has year round DST, and it is impossible for those lot to actually simulate nor test the effects of DST vs Standard Time. Hawaiians and Michiganders have a totally different perception of their surroundings and environmental conditions, so, any year round Standard Time studies are of small sample sizes and limited value nationwide. Data from Arizona is not much better than that from Hawaii either. On top of everything, the biannual superstitious ritual mumbojumbo skews everything and is not conducive to validation of results. One year round stable time standard has to be better than that. Time needs to finally and wholly become independent of daylight, because too many people are wildly confused and disconnected about that relationship, and it doesn't help, that *_Daylight_*_ Saving Time_ is the term that the government has for such a process.
Arizonians love to brag about not changing their clocks, because _that_ is *their truth,* but this is not the whole story. The state is very much still affected by DST as a whole from it's proximity to trading partners and relationships in neighbouring states and elsewhere.
@@q00u
Nope nor do I base health conditions on what can be gleaned from WebMD. Michiganders experience and perceptive their surroundings and environmental conditions differently than how Hawaiians do, and until US has a mix and wide diversity of year round Standard Time and DST states, those so called _experts_ are working with theoretical concepts, not objective real world data and experience. At the moment, the biannual superstitious ritual mumbojumbo skews everything that they could research and lowers the quality of studies.
Arizonians love to brag about not changing their clocks, which is _their truth,_ but is not the whole story. Arizona is absolutely still affected by DST as a whole, because they have to still deal with trading partners and relationships that are external to the state and do utilise DST.

You would think that given how everyone hates it and the FACT that hear attacks strokes and accidents go up the following 10 days after the time change.
It's the change itself, not the time chosen, that is the primary contributor. Accidents do go up directly because of it, but this is brief and would not last beyond short term. Heart attacks and strokes will spike because the time differential gets the patient out of rhythm of their dosing schedule and are prone to messing up.
It's just not true that many people hate Standard Time, anymore than some people loving DST, and this is the issue with the _either or_ choice. It is disingenuous and not practical. We need to move beyond that stalemate and compromise. A one time splitting is the best thing to do. It gives everyone a little something but does not leave behind a bitter hour differential, which is way too much.
@@GeorgeVCohea-dw7ouWe need the time to be the most aligned with the sun. It works better for sleeping patterns. General consensus among scientists
@@timtaylor9298
Whoa, that ship has sailed and ain't gonna come back! Any time metric based on the sun’s alignment became thoroughly obsolete before US was ever founded, and basing time on the sun is never going to be practical in a time when travelling over multiple time zones can easily occur within hours. The choices have pretty much been distilled between Standard Time and DST, perhaps even split between. Introducing anything else is just throwing a wrench into an already contentious issue. Those lot need to come back to reality and realise that governments don’t operate with esoteric and abstract theoretical concepts. Consensus does not mean that it is practical nor viable to implement, sorry. It may work at the equator, but the vast majority of humanity just doesn't live nor travel anywhere near there.
I don't touch the clocks at all here in Arizona. It's very liberating not to have to touch anything... and it doesn't make a difference either way so it's a little darker at a different time it's not really much of a big deal it just shows you that we're in different time of the year..lol are used to live in New Jersey where we used to change it all the time. I don't miss it at all.
Got to love those Arizona Liberals.
I hope it stays that way for Arizona.
7am and it’s dark. Horrible.
The sun will rise when it rises, no matter what hour you label it. People should adjust, if that matters to them, and the time of day left alone.
It is nonsense that we still play this silly game of advancing our clocks one hour ahead every year.
Moving the time forward takes us out of the only one true time. That is the standard time that is the time of our clock in the sky.
It's not really and has not been the standard in Standard Time for decades. Standard Time is a compromise in and of itself. The pseudoscience that proclaims it as superior is no more right than the ones who lay claim to daylight saving time as superior. The internal clock mumbojumbo is absurd and only really works because of this biannual superstitious ritual. People travel over time zones frequently, and it doesn't have much of an affect on their sensory qualities nor _internal clock._ The entire concept of time zones was to eliminate the sun as much of the factor in determining time.
The actual real world issue is making these biannual superstitious ritual mumbojumbo changes at all. Just when humans are becoming adapted, the next one jolts them into a new pattern to adjust to. It's frivolous and a total waste of time and effort. It's time to compromise and split the difference once and for all!
@@GeorgeVCohea-dw7ou thank you for sharing your true ignorance with us.
Wasn’t that long ago there was a bill on the floor of the Congress to do away with daylight savings, but yet another bill this Republican House of representatives were unable to complete.
Exactly the republicans blocked it like they block everything else. Smh I really wish they would pass the bill. I hope and pray we win the house, the senate, and the white house in November. That way good bills will be passed for the people. 🙏🏽🩵🗳️🩵🙏🏽
Wasn't that long ago when Democrats had the Presidency, the House AND the Senate? Hmm what happened?
@@chobiden7770They had a very small margin, which is not enough to pass bills that required 60% of approvals.
@@brotherbig4651We have Rinos. We can’t get enough votes to do anything
@@sport07-o2land the dems have had dinos in the senate most notably Manchin and Sinema who have blocked ANYTHING from getting done.
He looks like the guy in the wheelchair from scary movie 2
I don't like daylight saving time at all even though I'm retired, so I'm pretty much on my own time!
Split the difference, half an hour change one last time and leave it alone. This will divide the difference and there will be 50% less dark mornings and they won’t be dark as long. Simple fix really.. Just has to happen on a national level to uniform it and work.
Daylight savings and standard time ought to merge
Ooh a compromise, this could be viable. Hmm, 30 minutes of permanent DST sounds intriguing, and I am not the least bit against that.
Pssst .... Look at the position of the sun or did you muss that class ? 😂😂😂😂😂
Government should work on giving people 10 hour shifts and 3 days off. Imagine how much people would actually show up to work.
make Standard time all year round
FUN FACT: The entire nation of China has a single time zone.
Fun fact: it’s not actually that bad an idea. People in far west China don’t always go to work at 8a, but rather they go with the solar time (which can gradually change throughout the year). It’d be sorta like if the entire US were to just switch to GMT/UTC-someone in NYC would wake up at “12:00 noon” (7am EST), finish work by “22:00” (5p EST), and go to bed the next day at “04:00” (11p EST the same day as before Solar midnight). Sure, you’d have to learn the local version of schedules (e.g., stores might open 5min later on average in DC than NYC, but people will roughly be able to have their schedules line up better with the solar day no matter which edge of a current time zone they’re at.
😂😂😂😂great we are saving candles 😂😂😂
Why not just set it ahead half an hour, in the middle
You might wanna consider occupying your mind with others issues.
@@executivesteps
Why‽ This concept appears to be the most logical, sane and viable option so far and is most definitely a idea worth exploring and taking up headspace. At least, it attempts to give everyone a little something as a worthy compromise.
@@GeorgeVCohea-dw7ou The best “compromise” slowly evolved to the present set-up. Approximately 8 months DST and 4 months Standard time. Changing between the two is unavoidable. Blame it on the tilt of the Earth’s rotational axis.
The vote in the Senate a few years back of the Rubio-Sinema bill was laughable.
The idea “whose time has come” was tried in the early 1970s and was a miserable failure. US senators need better informed interns and staff.
@@executivesteps
Why change at all? Hawaii and Arizona* don't and do just fine. Time has no affect on the amount of daylight nor heat provided by the sun. It no longer makes sense to disrupt society with some mumbojumbo biannual superstitious ritual. Technological progression has long since surpassed any potential energy savings, and extremely good efficient electric lightning has made nighttime activities ubiquitous. The tilt of the Earth is not a rational factor in ruining people's weeks twice per year, and because the daylight is exactly the same on Standard Time or DST, people need to adjust their own personal schedules on what they prefer. The compromise of a half hour of permanent DST allows easier access to either side of the coin and is merely three snooze button pressings.
@@executivesteps
I agree with you on the ridiculous PR trick that Sinema and Rubio concocted. Writers are still calling it a unanimous bipartisan passage of the bill without informing readers that they utilised a parliamentarian gimmick to make it appear as such. It was purely done for headlines after Florida embarrassingly put forth legislation to remain on permanent DST, despite states only having permanent Standard Time as their only opt out. It wasn't just Florida; ugh, California bungled the same process.
The Brits do so on the day after the last Sunday in the month of March. Why is this one coming this early?
Leap year
Because this is an American broadcast news segment, and those lot do it in _early_ March, regardless of leap year status.
People say sometimes the sun goes down in Brittain at 10 O'clock at night. I don't know if it's true. Different parts of the globe have different "environments."
“Grudgingly prepare”?
I do it gladly because it makes the most sense.
get rid of this bs
If we didn’t have DST it would start to get light 2:30am on June 21st. No thanks, I’ll take the extra hour darkness in the summer mornings.
I hate DST! Lol. It says light too late.
😥😥😥
1:50 That Diesel locomotive looks like a pumpkin on wheels.
Tuberville needs to shut up
Nope....we want DST
Imagine investing time on a timeless concept like time
If time won't adjust to man, man will adjust the time.
I don't want my kids walking to school in the dark. Do you?
That sounds like a localised scheduling problem and most definitely not a national time issue. Yikes, what kind of local yokel schedules school at a time when kids have to walk to school in the dark‽

Keep DST permanently!
They tried that in the 70s. It didn't work
As much fun as sand in my lipgloss
Very few men use lip gloss, but so many men don't think losing an hour of sleep is fun either.
Really? I thought men liked lipgloss. Hmmm 🤔
@@gracerodgers8952 liking has nothing to do with my comment.
Presentation of time by a man with a dog haircut.😂😂😂😂
Imagine not understanding why we change the clocks. Most of our clocks even do it for us now. What's the problem?
Losing an hour of sleep.
Jump an hour ahead tomorrow and keep it that way!!! No one cares about it being bright out at 5:30AM... we want it light out past 5PM!!!
I'd rather the sun rise before 8:00 in the winter.
