TranscriptionA map of the world with vertical lines marking the time zones from UTC-12 to UTC+12. It has a legend:

Wrong Time

"Natural time zones" are 15° in longitude. Land in red observes a time other than the zone it lies within. Smaller islands depict their 12 nautical mile territorial sea, for visual effect. In some cases this includes a state's archipelagic waters.

Bro, if you didn't want people to respond with genuine takes on what you post and if you're going to be so defensive, why are you even here?

Also, I'm not defending anything. DST should be the standard time because we spend most of the year in it anyway. But that's just my own opinion, which I feel no need to defend to you or anyone else.

But that’s just my own opinion

Your opinion has as much relevance here as the opinion of climate change deniers.

Rude.

In summary, the scientific literature strongly argues against the switching between DST and Standard Time and even more so against adopting DST permanently.
