Daylight saving time doesn’t actually benefit anyone. Strangely, it’s still a thing!

Kaiser Wilhem may have lost the war but he had his revenge. on your sleep schedules.
Ah, the long game.
I died reading this-
@@marccolten9801 His long term goal was so good it even hit the people that wouldn't put him back in power. Masterfully done.
Was going to like but wanted to keep it at 666!
Yes he got the last laugh.
If we don't save the daylight, we'll run out if it altogether. Then you won't be laughing.
Why can't I hold all this daylight?
Slippin' Jimmy Haha! >a /memebro/ ;^)
Sun light is a finite resource and we need to conserve it xD
Hey everyone, lets bring out our glass jars and save daylight. #savethesun
People, let's all please donate our sunlight to the government, then maybe they'll have enough to stop this clock-changing shit!
A bit rich calling cows stupid, when it's the humans that have daylight savings
EXACTLY
Yeah well humans don't let farmers milk them.
@@marccolten9801 I do
@Marc... Were it not generally illegal in most places, yes, humans would most certainly keep humans captive to steal their breast milk. Conceivably, given our demonstrated propensity for taking/destroying/fucking anything within reach, it's taking place on a much smaller scale right now. Humans are trash, just like your lame comment.
Touche
“What you lose in sleep, you gain in mortal danger!” has such a vibe
You lose something.... but then in return, you lose something....
Getting in a car as one might do every day, is much more risky than the short term effects the careless, might like to bring up to mask their own shortcomings.
Beyond car accidents, there's a peek of heart attacks in older people at the start of daylight saving time because of the abrupt change in the circadian rithm. Really cool!
@@leogama3422 True.
But that would be "peak" and "rhythm."
if one single hour is all it takes to throw someone's brain from normal into "oh no i'm suddenly so incapable of thought that i'm now in mortal danger if i try to function" , then odds are they're just kinda dumb to begin with
don't mean that as an insult towards anyone, just a statement of fact lol
it's ONE FUCKING HOUR, by the time you finish a morning coffee you literally shouldn't even notice it
I'm from Germany and didn't even know that we invented daylight savings time. Also this was hilarious.
Michael Thomas So they pioneered it?
Benjamin Franklin first came up with the idea of Daylight Savings Time... Back in the late 1700s. Germany was the first to implement the idea... in the early 1900s...
Yeah, we were taught that is was us Brits that invented it... god who cares, really?
Michael Thomas Thanks for confirming.
Roller sail
I said you are racist because you are based the intelligence on a citizen of a country I am not part of. As always, you only read the lines where it suit you most but wrong at the same time. I said Franklin first came up the idea and didn't not say anything about him taking claim on the concept. Of course, in ancient time, they also used somewhat of a DST but their timekeeping is inaccurate to fully recognized. I also did not say you are wrong on who made the concept into actualization.
Daylight Savings Time: Jet Lag without the Jet.
That is so true. And all for what? To give yuppies more time to play golf after work.
Well at least we're conserving fuel =/
Giving the poor people opportunity to enjoy the Jet Lag.
And without going on vacation.
If I want jet lag, I’ll travel! It doesn’t matter whether DST is starting or ending-it always screws up my circadian for a week!
Judging from the comments here, I'm not sure people understand that this doesn't actually affect how long the sun is in the sky.
Bissrok But doesn't it give us 25 hours a day? ;)
It's like cutting a foot of the end of a rope and adding it to the start and then saying "I've got a longer rope."
Bissrok It doesn't?!
Bissrok You had me in splits.
True!
There was a time when I actually enjoyed Daylight Savings. Used to work the night shift, and that sudden shift from 1 to 3am was a thing of beauty.
Yeah.... but tonight I have to work an extra hour!
The shift from 2am back to 1am at night was a pain.
@@eyeseer1 Oh yes!!!
nice!
So did I, but then 6 months later 2:59 goes back to 2:00 and it's absolut hell
Goddamn you, Kaiser Wilhelm, you and your little arm.
Knew this comment was here somewhere
I try to, But I can't be mad at Kaiser Wilhelm.. man had to great a taste in hats.
Justdomerandomguy97 Last
You mean Kaiser Losehelm
when you say it like that, sounds euphemistic
Anacronian
good on!! :D
what did cows ever do to you John?
+Craig Zombar Exactly!!...
The real question is "What have cows done to you, David Kaye?"
He lost the beast wars because the cows.
john oliver is cow hater, one day he might get trampled by one
They did nothing to him, because they are cows, stupid stupid cows....
Daylight Saving Time is like cutting a foot off the top of a blanket, sewing it to the bottom, and expecting to get a longer blanket.
Bahahahahahfkjl;
That is the best analogy I have ever heard. Well done!
That is an amazing explanation!!
Stolen comments
But when more people are using the bottom side of the blanket it does benefity
7 years later and still on point.....
"The farm people want nothing to do with this." I couldn't stop laughing in the store because I was thinking about this video from earlier and that line kept popping into my head.
I have two teenagers (one still at home) and three cats. Believe me, dealing with any of them after a time switch isn’t any fun either!
My annual visit to this video -- thank you for making sense.
It's that time to watch this again.
As I sit here on Sunday morning - groggy on March 10, 2019. HOW IS THIS STILL A F'ING THING?!
Me too. Didnt even see it coming. It just happened. Suddenly it was just me and the microwave.
It's Thursday and I'm still not adjusted. Been late to work every day.
many of the countries mentioned have since discarded daylight savings. Hopefully the US follows the trend!
@@tyiffpeijc8702 I'm sure we will. Right after we switch to the metric system.
I'm sitting here on March14th, having just lost an hour of sleep, how is this still a thing??
This video completely cracked me up - it is so spot on! The poor farmers getting the blame for something that they did not want in the first place!
In defence of Germany, that IS dancing. As proof I submit that it requires coordination, balance, and rhythm, and that I seem entirely incapable of doing it.
AAAAAahhh, die Lederhosen.... the Mosquito Dance !!!! Didn't YOU know that??? Besides......it's hard to miss that THEY ARE HAVING FUN ......... you DO understand what FUN is? Oh. Negative? This is a difficult dance but lots of Fun.
@@deedoyle4069 what
"what you lose in sleep, you gain in mortal danger"
I’ve heard that DST actually hurts dairy farmers because the cows end up getting milked an hour too late, and the milk buildup can be painful.
Not just that, but imagine having a barn full of animals expecting the food to come at the same time every day, and the pandemonium that ensues when that is not the case. You can't really explain it to animals that the clocks have been moved, they don't care.
Most farm animals are animals of habit, particularly cows. So, when their schedules get shifted by an hour for no reason, they are not happy about it.
The explanation I always heard was that it's so that there's more hours of daylight when people get home from work, so they can so out and do fun stuff you'd want to do in the daylight.
I've always thought that was a bit odd since you've got more hours of daylight in the summer anyway.
If you live far enough north (or south in the southern hemisphere), half of that extra time happens at ungodly hours of the morning when you're likely to still be sleeping. DST probably doesn't seem to make a lot of sense at moderate latitudes, but noon-based time (standard time) makes just as little sense at more extreme latitudes. You either reschedule everything earlier... or just change the damned clocks and pretend everything is normal.
@@stanrogers5613 DST in places like the UK (north of 50) is really about Spring and Fall, rather than Summer.
When there's so much light in summer there's surplus at both ends, so having daylight at 3-4 or 21-22 is certainly pretty moot. In London, there's a month where there's no technical night and 'nighttime' is just twilight. And London is in the south of the country. It doesn't really matter much what the clocks say - there's a load of surplus daylight.
But when it's April or September and a choice between daylight 5-6 or 18-19, then clearly the latter would be used more and it makes sense to shift. But, come late fall/early spring when the choice is between 7-8 or 16-17, then 7-8 is better as it's dawns that have a bigger effect on mental health.
Midwinter is somewhat moot, but the choice of 8-9 or 15-16 in London (worse elsewhere) is still a choice that leans towards morning light for people's sanity. Plus 8-9 puts one rush hour in the light, rather than the zero that 15-16 gives.
The UK tried (in peacetime - during the wars the UK moved to Berlin time, and threw in summer time on top of that in WW2 and most of WW1. Unlike the French and Spanish, the UK did at least move back to its native timezone after the war) having GMT+1 all year, as people were finding the clock change stupid and the dark Oct-Mar evenings annoying. They found that the dark Oct-Mar mornings worse and they didn't continue the experiment when it ended - it got flattened in Parliament.
Yeah i understood the logic that if at this time of year the sun sets early and rises early that moving the time back 1 hour would then put people’s waking hours more in line with the sun being up but that only really makes sense back when having a light source was expensive or difficult. Most places will be well lit at night and even if they aren’t people have phones, flashlights etc.
it made sense before electricity, but since we have artificial light, it really is pointless..........
I live in Phoenix, az.. w/o daylight savings time (as we dont do it) the sun goes down at 830-900pm in june/july .. do we need more?
Hey guys, I've got a great idea. Let's make summer last longer by turning our calendars back one month every August.
perpetual July... I like that.
lemme just say, as someone who had to deal with a broken AC this month in texas
HELL FUCK NO
@@dmas7749 Haha! I too live in Texas and summer already lasts like 9 months out of the year
@@jeremywj - well its like 44C here (112F) every day in july.. i like feb where its about 23c (75F) every day instead...
Makes about as much sense.
So long as DLS exists, videos like these will always get at least 500k additional views twice a year.
Came here in March 2023 to let everyone know.....yes, it's still a thing 8 years later.
In case somebody wonders, the German word they posted is the term for companys that offer an insurance for legal bills.
And also that particular type of dancing is a traditional dance in a particular region. Modern Germans just laugh at people who still do that.
***** Look, it's traditional German dancing, not "the german version of irish tap dance". Many countries have traditional forms of dance. Calling all of them the "so-and-so version of irish tap dance" would just be ridiculous.
PeterK1984 Hey, better than twerking.
PeterK1984 Are you kidding? That's an AWESOME dance! I'm totally gonna bust out those sick moves next time I'm at the club! :)
When someone compares a legitimate big culture to a shitty off shoot just just lol gj bro
+PeterK1984 as a german american I can tell you that even the region that dancing is from mainly only does it anymore for tourism and festivals . . BUT then again EVERY NATION On earth has some stupidity in its traditions.
You guys seriously need to make HBO available to Australians. We really love you, honest.
You can try using hola.org/ or something like it.
TKList
I meant officially. I already use Hola.
Charles Lindeman Write HBO a letter.

No channel is airing it at the moment. Australian TV typically ignores American shows like this. I'll stick with getting around the region locks for now.

Cows are pretty intelligent, and love to play, but that didn't stop me from laughing super hard when he said that.

I remember the drop in student energy and morale that came with ‘spring forward’. It set the tone for the remainder of the school year.

‘legislative action stop daylight savings time’
Growing up and living in Arizona meant I never experienced Daylight Savings at all.... until I went into the military. Experienced it for the first time when going to breakfast and finding out the chow hall didn't open up for another hour and wondered why the fuck this was even a thing. Thankfully, I then went to Japan and didn't have to deal with it again. I weep for you, rest of the country. I weep for you.
I somehow moved from the US to one of the only fucking Australian states which uses Daylight Savings. ;_; Damnit.
Well, there's only 8 and I think 4 of them use it so that's 50%...
Rob Dapedo There are *six* Australian states. There are also *ten* territories.
www.australia.com/en/facts/cities-states-territories.html my bad, Northern Territory and Australian Capital Territory aren't considered states but I accidentally keep referring to that out of habit. Also where did you get 10 territories?
Rob Dapedo Two of them are mainland, the rest are off the mainland, mostly islands. And NT and the ACT are indeed not states. I live directly outside the ACT.
Rechtsschutzversicherungsgesellschaften isn´t even long. I mean, it is long, but not really long for German standards. Eat this: Rindfleischetikettierungsüberwachungsaufgabenübertragungsgesetz (that was the name of a German law regulating the delegation of tasks concerning the labelling of beef). Well, technically this isn´t true, the whole title was "Rinderkennzeichnungs- und Rindfleischetikettierungsüberwachungsaufgabenübertragungsgesetz"
This confirms the popular saying: ''Life is too short to learn German''. I already wasted 5 minutes trying to read your comment properly!
+Rene Schiffer But if you translate Rechtschutzversicherungsgesellschaften then you get "insurance company for legal costs" (or something like that) and you need 5 words instead of one.
But honestly, nobody I know uses these words regularly.
+Rene Schiffer You need a water bottle and some hiking to shoes to get to the end of that word!
+Rene Schiffer you made my fucking day :D This is what I love about the German language: Just throw it all in there and make a new word!
It would be a nice challenge to try and create a word that has all letters of the alphabet in it - complete with umlauts (or "vowel mutations" as I just learned, which seems accurate, if you ask me).
+Rene Schiffer So I guess that Germans are to terms what Sri Lankans are to surnames.
Came back here to rewatch this today😂
While Germany was indeed the first country in the world to adopt Daylight Savings Time, they are not to blame for it.
The person responsible for this little gem of collective insanity was a New Zealand entomologist, by the name of George Vernon Hudson, who in 1895, suggested that everyone in New Zealand should put their clocks forward by 2 hours in October and back 2 hours in March (the Southern Hemisphere summer period).
Why did he want New Zealand, at the time populated predominantly of dairy farmers (who actually benefit LEAST from the idea, since many of their activities occur in the pre-sunrise hours of the morning), to adopt a policy so hostile to its main industry?
So that HE could spend more time looking at bugs.
What a nice guy. Fucks so much of the world over, for the sake of a personal fucking hobby.
Interesting., though I expect both may be true. If New Zealand did it, who would even notice?
In any event, I still like blaming a Prussian.
Ehh, wouldn't put the blame on one guy. He may have come up with it but the majority passed it.
We refuse to take responsibility for this travesty. Blame the Jerries instead. - a kiwi
There's blame enough to go around, really. No one person can entirely be credited for DST, as it came out of several different suggestions over the years. You can blame us Ontarians for being the first to actually implement it, though that only happened in a couple of cities.
Who are Jerries??
So it turns out "rechtsschutzversicherungsgesellschaften" in German means "legal expenses insurance companies" in English.
- AkumetsU - exactly. We've got many of these beautiful long words like Verkehrsinfrastrukturfinanzierungsgesellschaft (infrastructure traffic financing company) or Rindfleischetikettierungsüberwachungsaufgabenübertragungsgesetz (this was actual a pretty serious think). You can just basically connect every word you want to another (at least nouns).
+Daniel Jacobson I studied German for a few years. I enjoyed it (and would love to take it up again) but some of those compound words ... Ye gods and little fishes!!
+- AkumetsU “Kami” - Dutch has this too, except a lot of people have started separating the words, thinking that's a valid thing to do when it's not. Keeping the words separate is an English thing to do, not a Dutch or German thing.
DaVince21 Lol
Anything spoken in German is threatening & foreboding. " I love you, and I want to give you these lovely roses", sounds like a serious threat, in German.
Really, why _is_ this still a thing? I have yet to hear a single decent argument in its favor. Personally, I've always suspected that it was part of some kind of conspiracy by morning people: it means that in the winter, when daylight is scarce, people awake early in the day get more daylight hours, whereas in the summer, when there's already a surplus of light, people get more of it in the evening. So every spring, we get to lose an hour of sleep, and every fall, we get to suddenly never see the sun because it's set by the time people leave work.
Seriously, why are we doing this?
As far as I can tell it is only still here for "enhanced shopping levels" and to prove to individual citizens that the government really does NOT care what we think.
Why do we still print the penny? Because we are illogically attached to our traditions.
Christof Harper "Enhanced shopping levels?" Is there something here apart from boosting the caffeine industry for a week?
I've always liked the line attributed to an old Native American who, when told about Daylight Saving Time, replied: “Only the white man’s government would be so stupid as to cut a foot off the top of a blanket, sew it onto the bottom, and think they have a longer blanket.”
♡
Came here every year to watch this.
Our cat refuses to comply with time changes. She wants fed at the same time all year long. She comes up to us and licks her chops. If that doesn’t work she taps our hand with her paw. If that doesn’t work she starts knocking things off shelves. If THAT doesn’t work she sits with her back to us. By then we’re laughing at her attempts to control the situation.
I live in Arizona, so I've never had to remember to change the time. Thank god because I would forget and end up being either late or early for work.
+Jenny Thorson Phone alarms auto-change the time for you, generally.
+MegaKaitouKID1412 Yes, but a lot of people still have clocks and actual alarm clocks that don't auto change for daylight savings time.
Jenny Thorson True, but it's very easy to remember sometime within the week to set an alarm on your phone for just that one day. Most people do have phones, though I suppose many still don't. More of a suggestion/FYI for you in the event you ever find yourself in a place that follows it when it changes. :)
+Jenny Thorson actual clocks and alarm clocks??? pshhh. noway.
+Jenny Thorson Not to mention those few people whose phone/laptop changes whether they want it to or not... I'm in AZ as well and I cannot tell you how many times I've been early/late to something because my tech didn't listen when I told it my time zone -.-
The other video isnt available in my country? WTF.. Im from Australia
yea me too, i hope this isn't a new thing.
Same here. Hoping it's an error :(
Nathan O'Connor
I hope someone else uploads it for us lol
Robert Grubb works fine for me, and I'm from Australia
Same for me. However I also tried to watch it using a proxy service (spoofed my traffic to come from the US) and the video isn't even listed then. So i'm thinking it's an error. Try again a little later.
Edit: I was able to watch it using the proxy service after all. See my comment below.
“What you lose in sleep you gain in mortal danger.” “Cows are idiots.” - The plot for the next horror movie.
You lost an hour of sleep thanks to Kaiser Wilhelm, is probably the best line I've ever heard
HA! I've finally found the one thing Arizona's done right compared to the rest of the country!
Im mildly more content with where I live :)
World. The entire world is weird except for you.
Well it's mostly right, actually. The only parts in Arizona that have it around are those that involve the Navajo regions. Beyond that, yeah, I'm glad that my home state doesn't have to always bother with the notion of Daylight Savings time like most of the other states do.
Now legalize cannabis.
bebobli Ha! I wish. Arizona's government hardly ever gets anything right. Like Tim said, not adopting daylight savings is basically the one thing we have managed to do right, and I think the main argument for that we simply have more daylight than we need as it is.
Incidentally, daylight is in fact one of our biggest exports, you can see this by watching trains and trucks coming out of Arizona, a fair amount of the flatbeds are loaded with daylight. They might look empty, but they are actually stacked several feet high with daylight.
Literally the only thing that's not shitty about Arizona.
daylight savings time is like cutting the top off a blanket and sewing it to the bottom and saying you made a bigger blanket its so dumb!!!
+squire the sky theif Assuming that the blanket keeps fluctuating in length throughout the year and certain parts of the blanket are more useful than others. Oh wait, your blanket simile just fell apart.
***** Yes, I did. But the video doesn't address reasons outside of energy or farming. There is little use for sunlight at 5am (which certainly happens in my part of the world) but later in a summer evening definitely suits the lifestyle here in Australia.
+squire the sky theif WRONG because a blanket can be shifted up or down but 9 to 5 is 9 to 5 regardless, and its great to have more sunlight after work all summer.
BUT I think they could just leave it on the artififial time year round and just never go back to the naturally correct time.
+HaydenMcM1 I live in Iowa USA and 100% concur, sunlight in early mornings before going to work is useless, BUT more sunlight AFTER work to do yard work, swim, fish etc etc is great . . BUT I see no need to revert back each year to the natural time, I think just stay year round on the artificial time.
+squire the sky theif
You're not wrong. You made a bigger blanket for a smaller person.
I love how this video gets recommended to me right before every daylight savings.
It's *poetic* that I found this video on daylight savings time day.
I think you mean it is poetic, not ironic. It would be Ironic if you found this video after it is abolished, or six months after the fact. There is nothing ironic about finding it on the day of daylight savings. And yes, I am fun at parties.
@@EtsuMatsuya um... Thanks?
coincidental !!
Or it's just the YT algorithm. It makes sense that it recommended that video at that time
Chile got rid of it this year! :D
+Chino Wantan Id hate to see it go because of the extra sunshine after work on summer days is great , BUT they could just leave it on the artificial time an hour off for me and not change back to natural time ever .
Brazil will revert to Standard time permanently in 2022
William Campbell why the wait?
Angela Smith who knows. At least they’re doing it. Not like the countries that cling to dst like a child’s blanket
As an update: We didn't get rid of it. Instead we stayed a whole year in DST, so it was insufferable in winter. Plus, now we have an additional timezone to the two we had (Continental Chile time and Rapa Nui (Eastern Islands) time. Now the most southern zone of Chile (Magallanes Region) stays the whole year in winter time.
I live in Queensland Australia, we don't have day light saving because Farmers hate it. So don't blame farmers!
I find it funny how, 7 years later, a bill finally gets introduced to ending Daylight Savings time. xD
Congrats! From what I know, the reason it still exists in EU Is the fact that colder countries want one time and warmer coutnries the other. We all agree it is stupid, but we will continue to have it because no one wants to give up on their preffered variant. 😅
@klong977
They didn’t get rid of daylight savings, they just made it permanent. It seems like the people are against losing an hour of sleep one time, not daylight savings. People will oppose this permanent daylight savings time when winter hits and they are driving to work in the dark.
@@saranemcova5448
We tried permanent daylight savings time and it failed miserably when winter came.
Cheers to rewatching this every time we have to do a day light savings time change
We don't use daylight savings in our country.. but it's a pain in the ass when I have to convert my time when gaming online with international friends.
+Azethine yeah dude, what a huge pain in the ass to change something twice a year.
+Dogman My cellphone and the clock that i use for wake alarm do it by itself, my microwave dont, but i only use it to dry socks and popcorn sometimes so i dont care, but the huge pain in the ass is get used to the "jet lag", days become very weird when is 9:00pm and you can still see the sun
+Azethine
First world problems.
+Dogman Four times a year if you live in the US and your international friend lives in Europe for example.
patu8010 last thing I want is an international friend in Europe to talk about how "good he has it"
I live in Hawai’i and we do NOT observe DST. I had a student (roughly similar in IQ to these cows) who said that it was “easier to grow gardens on the Mainland”----rest of the USA). I was stunned...sunshine 320 days a year, moderate climate..why? She said that the rest of the country observed DST and therefore they had one hour LONGER OF SUNSHINE each day! Can’t make this up!
+Helen Eschenbacher majority of the states that do observe it, hate it. i was never told it was for farmers, but to conserve oil for lamps.
Wow... I hope your student or her parents see your post. Teachers like you should focus on TEACHING rather than ridiculing students on social media. She may have the IQ of a cow, but you're a grown bully. Maybe you should take your smarts back to the "Mainland".
+missmauimac Where was it implied he didn't teach her? Also, it does no harm as long as Helen didn't call out the student specifically. If the student sees this and gets embarrassed, well that just goes towards teaching the lesson, humiliation is a good tool for teaching if used properly.
I don't even know what this was about, "Maybe you should take your smarts back to the "Mainland"." Was it supposed to be a jab at them using the term Mainland? That is a pretty common term.
+Ambrose Cook-Saloway humility is a good thing. Being called stupid isn't. "IQ similar to the cows" is a blatant insult. I grew up in Hawaii and never once was DST discussed, it was irrelevant because it did not apply to us. Did I know about it- yes. Was I taught about it in school- no. so my point is, maybe instead of this teacher taking the time to call her students stupid on social media, she should use that time more constructively towards teaching her students. Goes to show her attitude towards the children in her classroom. Maybe, like DST, it's time we retire her.
""IQ similar to the cows" is a blatant insult"
They we're just trying to be funny and tie it into the article, it's also a prop of the humiliation here, I doubt they actually believe what they said, it was just supposed to mean the student was stupid. No way to get around that as people with lower-than-average IQs have more children than those with above-average IQs.
"maybe instead of this teacher taking the time to call her students stupid on social media, she should use that time more constructively towards teaching her students"
Everyone needs a release, maybe her release from the stress of working with kids is to anonymously bad mouth them on the internet. Again, you have no way of knowing how well she teachers her students, and to try to claim she shouldn't have time to herself on the internet is just crazy.
" Goes to show her attitude towards the children in her classroom."
It really does not at all, the internet is a completely different setting from her school, and humans act accordingly to where they are. All teachers are supposed to be nice. If you think every teacher that is nice to you, actually likes you and some aren't just doing their job, you're deluding yourself.
I feel compelled to watch this video every six months. Is it still a thing now? How about now? Is it still a thing now? Yes. Yes, it fucking is.
As someone who lives in the north, that extra hour of sun is everything
beeping out cuss words on youtube; how is this still a thing???
well, now it's a rule and everyone has to do it
fuck.
+Komugi Gungi Only if they're sponsored
Yeah, but HBO is uncensored
Because it airs after 10 PM. According to the FCC, you can air it uncensored only if it's not in a position where children might be in the audience. TH-cam is public. Therefore, they have to censor it. HBO is premium broadcasting and airs its obscene content after 10. So they can air it uncensored. www.fcc.gov/consumers/guides/obscene-indecent-and-profane-broadcasts
@Toongeek45: Yep, note this is "(HBO)" so it's a Youtubized _TV broadcast_ not a net native broadcast, thus must follow TV rules.
Thanks Kaiser Wilhelm

I come here every year at Daylight savings day to have a laugh at least
You mean, twice a year, right?
Here in Queensland Australia (North Eastern state), we had daylight savings and is was very unpopular. Back in the early 90's, we voted no to daylight savings.
Now the people from the southern states who moved here want it,
the rest of the state don't want it.
SO JAM DAYLIGHT SAVINGS UP YOUR ARSE.
It was very unpopular in the regions. In the metro areas, ie the majority of the state, it had and still has comfortable majority support.
So bullshit, a lot of people don't care but for someone like me (grade 10 high school student) day light saving sucks major ass cause I gotta get up for school and most teenagers now a days barley get sleep in the first place and taking away an hour... Man it takes awhile getting used to.
Teenagers don't get sleep? Get your homework done and be in bed by 7pm sleep till 7am. That's how you sleep.
Pandorum0610 Your obviously no teenager and you wouldn't understand anyways but no, no one sleeps at 7 so please just stop and have some common sense. We aren't 5 years old anymore.
Slender Guy If your going to stay up Stop BITCHING about being tired. That's just stupid. If your tired go to bed early, teenage logic is always wrong and makes no sense.
Pandorum0610 I love getting a reaction out of you angry fucks 😂
Slender Guy I was not angry, I just think you are stupid that is all.
Its brilliant though if you live in New South Wales in Australia because it means you can stay at the beach, in the sun, until 8 o'clock in the evening..
Thought this would be the case for everyone.
I thought that was the original purpose of it, so people could spend some time outside after work.
Just stay until the sun sets and stop looking at your watch. It doesn't matter what numbers the little arms are pointing at. You leave when you've finished wanting to be at the beach, not when a number is being pointed at.
Alien Or Sutin That's fine until you have people finishing work in the dark.
Alien Or Sutin but you go there when the little numbers say work is over.
Daylight Saving Time is actually very useful in northern countries like Norway, where I live. Due to the Earth's tilt, the amount of actual daylight time we get changes based on the time of year, therefore it is actually quite useful here. By changing everyones schedules by an hour, we get more use out of the little daylight time we actually do have during the winter months. People would rather work in daylight so it works out just fine. Also our internal clocks are based on the sun and the daylight, adjusting our schedules fixes our internal clock so we don't get tired at 4pm when the sun sets.
lol, you use standard time in the winter, daylight saving time is used during the summer.
I can't believe how man people say they like DST because they get more daylight during winter. lol, fucking dumbasses.
If cows had juxtaposable thumbs, we'd all be in BIG trouble.
I also want to know why American citizens still insist on using 12-hour time, when most of the world, including the US military, use 24-hour time!
Because saying the clock is striking 13 would make us feel like we're living in 1984.
Scowlie Meerkat Since when do you say "the clock is striking ___" anyway?
I just say it's 13:00.
"It's thirteen." or "it's thirteen in the afternoon.".
still faster to say its one or its one in the afternoon. one o'clock takes less syllables than thirteen hundred.
JustInsanity 24-hour time, not military time.
It's "thirteen" or "thirteen in the afternoon".
And besides, "Thirteen" is two syllables... "One PM" is three.
So like, do you wear watched that go up to 24, or do you use regular 12 hour ones and then translate in your head into a different time scheme for no reason?
As a Hoosier I am ashamed that our state gave in to the pressure. Hang tough Arizona.
ONE OF THE BEST EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS, EVER.
With all the crazy stuff happening in 2022, I'm just glad we're finally doing something sensible and putting a stop to this tampering with clocks. Yay!
And we're doing it right and staying in DST all the time. Always hated going back to standard and the sun setting at 4:30PM in the northeast.
I would really love to see one of these on "flat earth theory"
Happy proud to be in Arizona or Hawaii day(s).
Brazil killed it this year.
Watching this video is a twice-a-year tradition for me. Fuck Daylight Savings Time!
Is that Nolan North in this video?
Looks like him.
I wish it was but no it isn't
No thats not him. lol
Darude- Sandstorm
Shae Christensen That's not funny anymore. Stop it.
Shae Christensen it actually was NEVER funny tbh. always found it pretty dumb. Maybe its because I hate 99% of trolls out there (there is that 1% of trolls that have made me laugh to some extent in the past).
My condolensces to the state of Florida for making DST permanent as of 2018.
I watch this every year, and every year, I ask WHYEEEE
A million times, yes, get RID of it!!!!
I SAW "THE WHITEST KIDS U KNOW"!
Not sure why I am so thrilled......oh well, yay!
*THAT WAS AN EPIC SHOW THAT'S WHY!* LMAO (One of the members later became my college English teacher, I am NOT KIDDING LOL!)
Daylight saving actually has some positive impacts to some. Read my article: www.beelikk.com/articles/daylight-saving-time-is-this-still-a-thing/
But I like when it's still light outside later in the day
a few of my coworkers were talking about how daylights saving started for the farmers... i thought back to the "the farm people want nothing to do with this" line from this video.
I don't normally agree with Marco Rubio, but he got it right this TIME. Even a broken clock tells the right time twice, get it?!
You know you're German, when you can pronounce "tschechisches Streichholzschächtelchen". XD
(not from me, was a meme I saw ^^)
Or "lila Flanellläppchen". :D
Starjon *g* never heard that one before, might be because it's colloquially used in certain parts of Germany (it kind of means "ugly clothes", just in case someone is wondering).
Eisdax
It means purple piece of flannel actually...
Starjon if you translate it word by word. But you don't say "you make me fox devils wild" when you are angry as fuck or do you? As I wrote, its colloquial German. It also could be used as a German variation for "softy"
Here
www.mundmische.de/bedeutung/6355-lilla_Flanelllaeppsche
and here
www.mitmachwoerterbuch.lvr.de/liste.php
Besides, I'm from Austria, German is my mother tongue and I never heard that word before. Not even used as a description of an actual purple piece of flannel.
Ich hatte bis gerade keine Ahnung, dass man es sprichwörtlich dafür benutzt. Ich wusste nur, dass es als (relativ leichter) Zungenbrecher gilt, als etwas anderes habe ich es noch nie gehört. Danke. :)
I can't believe I've actually been protesting extended DST for *an entire decade now*. Ever since Dumb Dubya extended DST for no reason in 2007 ("improve trade with other countries," so he said), I've refused to conform because I always hated DST anyway. While others will be losing an hour of sleep tonight, *I* won't . . . at least till next month.
Cows are not idiots! They are wonderful :-)
This was my worst day light savings year yet. I have never EVER been this drowsy for this long! I usually sleep it off on Sunday when it happens, but my husband likes to get up early and I like to spend time with him. So now I understand that for many people who have to get up at the same time every day, weekend or not, it's a HUGE pain in the ass and it needs to stop!
Happy Lose an Hour Day Everybody!
+WalleWalls Pretty much. It's so fucking stupid. Until Happy Gain an Hour Day. Maybe they just keep it for the Holiday-Effect.
Studies have shown that it's not just one hour of sleep that's lost in the spring and regained in the fall.
There is a 3 to 5% net loss of productivity during the week following each of these changes. That's lost profits.
So why haven't the selfish wealthy SOBs who control the worlds wealth done something?
Could it have anything to do with the timing of elections in USA?
@@oblivion476 The only thing Americans worship more than their idol flag is holidays. Why not just make every day of the year September 10, 2001. A routine day.
I like DST. Because of it sunset is 1h later and that means that in the summer you have one more hour for sport/walk/being outside. I go to work late and leave work late so for me that's a good thing.
I agree.without DST we would be wasting the extra daylight you get in the morning during summer.
Vecheslav Novikov Or, you know, you could just not change the clocks and get up a little earlier in the summer and not force everyone to try to acclimate to your schedule...
Josiah Settles But then I'd still have to go in to work at the same time, the morning sunlight is essentially wasted unless I can come up with something worthy to do for only an hour.
Vecheslav Novikov So... You want more sunlight so you can stay indoors at work? I really don't get you white people...
Vecheslav Novikov The sensible thing would be a c lock that stays the same all year round and a flexible work schedule. Which would allow you to get to work as early as necessary.
Every year I watch this and every year is makes me laugh. Love you John Oliver!
This show is a national treasure.
The benefits of Daylight Savings Time somewhat depends on your latitude. Where I live, DST puts daylight where we most need it. We do not need the sun to come up at 4:00 am, but would prefer it to go down a bit later at night so we can enjoy evening activities like kids sports and social gathering later in the day.
For those of you who get baffled by the very long words in German language, they're actually several words. Some languages have enough to sense to merge several words into a single word when several words are used to name a single thing. For example a "dual clutch transmission" would instead be a "dualclutchtransmission"
Kristian Kumpula doppelkupplungsgetriebe! only came here to look for that top gear reference...
+Kristian Kumpula heard of "Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis"?
+sarcastic bowl of cornflakes It hasn't to do with sensibiltiy, but it can also change the whole meaning of a word. Dutch is a bit same about this subject, so I give you a Dutch example. 'Oude damesfiets' and 'oudedamesfiets'. In English you have exactly the same translation: Old ladies' bike. In Dutch however you can show the difference between a ladies' bike which is old (first example) and a bike which is designed for old ladies (second example). I've to be honest that sometimes it's hard to choose using a space bar and not using the space bar, but this way you don't need to create totally different words if they are in the same subject group, in this example the ladies' bike.
+Kristian Kumpula How does that make sense? You can barely interpret the word clearly with out spaces. This-is-why we have dashes.
+Kristian Kumpula That isn't sensible. That was the joke. Words that long are harder to read. That is why words are small to start...
I learn so much more from the show than I do from anything else.
Every single time the time changes since 2015 I watch this video again
Newsflash: EU to recommend that member states abolish daylight saving time.
YES! Get rid of this insomniac fuelling ritual once and for all!
I live in Scandinavia where the days get very short during the fall and winter so getting up an hour early is kind of nice because you get to see the sun a little more
Or you could just alter your own personal schedule...
What sun mate? There is no sun in Scandinavia
I mean... sarcasm right?
You know that changing the clock is the idiots version of just changing your schedule... right?
TheImpiroGirl well Scandinavia can keep it, okay?
well if only you change Schedule, them business, transportation work places and Everything else don´t follow your Schedule, and you will be waiting an hour to make use of the time you gained.
You need to Think a step ahead.
8 years further, and nothing has changed 😂
Come back to this video every year to share
I was told it was so that it wouldn't be so dark out in the morning when people had to go to work because it gave the sun an extra hour to rise (I can't think of how to phrase that better) in the fall, and then to make that up we had to go forward in the spring.
You were told some nonsense.

it’s that “time” of year again...
The cows were adorable!
Please do more of these! They were one of the best things about this show!
Yay Arizona!
... said no one, ever.
+Jacob Abercrombie …Said him, just now. Arizona's one of the precious few that don't use DST. Well…most of us, except for that one part. But not that one part in that one part. Then again…there's two parts in that one part in that one part that DO use it. It's…complicated.
+StevoBrine Arizona minus the Navajo nation, they are on DST. Which is makes matters even worse for Arizona.
The Navajo nation stays permanently on DST? Or they change their clocks like the rest of the continent? (To make matters more confusing for people like me who have dealings with people in Australia, they not only change their clocks two weeks earlier/later than we do--making it hard to figure out what time it is during the transition--but the entire state of Western Australia DOESN'T change their clocks and are in a different time zone from the east. And Western Australia (the main city there being Perth and most of the rest being a desert) is three times the size of Texas.
The only thing we do right in Arizona
Well, don't have a cow about this, John.
The extra hour of sunlight fades the curtains
