In heat

3/4? That's fucked up, over here it's roughly half and it's still too much. Anyway, for specific areas there might be reasons to deviate from the timezone you're supposed to be in, but for most people it is the best option. Over here (NL) our default timezone is already one hour too early, so adding summer time on top of that means we're two hours out from where we're supposed to be.

Then you have a completely different, localized problem, and you should fix that locally. The solution you are advocating is completely unsuitable outside of that localized area. You should change your time zone, so you don't have this problem.
The sun moves through the sky at 15 degrees per hour. An ideal timezone is one hour, or 15-degrees wide. Solar noon is at 12:00pm (Winter Time) in the middle of that timezone. At the eastern end, solar noon occurs at 11:30AM, and at the west end, 12:30. If the longest day of summer is 16 hours of daylight, the western end of this timezone experiences sunrise at 4:30AM. But, the center of the timezone experiences sunrise at 4AM, and the eastern end of that same, idealized timezone experiences sunrise is an hour earlier: 3:30AM.
Sunrise at 3:30 in the morning
This is nucking futs. Landscapers and construction workers have to wait for noise ordinances to expire at 8:00AM, 4.5 hours after sunrise, just in time for the day to start getting hot.
For coordinating the activities of daylight-oriented workers with clock-oriented workers/students, winter time is terrible. But summer time is actually very reasonable. In summer time, (with idealized timezones):
-
The earliest possible sunrise (on a 16-hour summer day, east end of the time zone) is 4:30AM. (The west end of that timezone has sunrise at a more reasonable 5:30AM)
-
The latest possible sunrise (on an 8-hour winter day, west end of the time zone) is 9:30AM (The east end of that timezone experiences that sunrise at a more reasonable 8:30AM)
-
Earliest possible sunset is 4:30PM (east end of the zone, 8-hour winter day; with the west end experiencing it at 5:30PM)
-
Latest possible sunset is 9:30PM (west end of the zone, 16-hour summer day; the east end experiences that same sunset at 8:30PM)
None of these extremes are ideal, but none of them are completely ridiculous either. Year-round Summer time is simply the best alternative to the biannual time change.

Look, if you're too lazy to set your alarm clock to a time that works for you that's fine, but why make other people suffer for your preferences? We have timezones for a reason, arguments like yours are what started the DST madness in the first place.

wrote on last edited by [email protected]I would pose that same question to you. Why do you feel it is important for the sun to come up at 3:30 in the morning? Why would you impose that absurdity on anyone?

It'd be like if a woman's boobs suddenly got huge from May to August," she added.
I mean, do they get bigger? Has this been studied? Women's research is usually lacking compared to men's.
wrote on last edited by [email protected]It's titled studies about size, you'd have a point if it were about like breast cancer or something but if it's like "is climate change making tits bigger and your dick look bigger?" Ain't no way they wouldn't fund that.

Is this the male equivalent of the fat watery feet I get in summer? Can't wear some of my shoes when we've got a heatwave outside because they don't fit anymore.
Have you checked your blood pressure lately? Salt intake? Hydrating okay? Hormones? Allergies?
Could be an early warning sign of something more serious.
A little swelling and water retention especially on hot days is normal. But, if your shoes stop fitting due to a little water retention, they probably didn't fit very well to begin with. It's easier than you'd think to get used to shoes that are too small. Your feet adapt, but suffer.
