plus tax additional fees apply on delivery excludes foot long snacks limited time welcome to the a to z english podcast my name is jack and i'm here with my co -host social and today we are going to do a topic talk and the topic is daylight savings time in america so social what is daylight savings time
jack my understanding is that not every country does daylight savings time but here in america we do it and it's where every spring the time jumps forward an hour and every fall the time goes back an hour and it was intentionally meant to help conserve energy um it's been shown that it doesn't help
conserve energy um but what it does simply is that it kind of makes the days shorter in the winter and the days even longer in the summer and this is a natural trend anyway but it just kind of exacerbates that so here in the U .S.
around 4 30 or 5 in the Midwest in the winter you'll see the sun going down right and in summers sun might not go down until 9 p .m.
basically almost 9 p .m.
so yeah I mean I think the my understanding of it was it's it's a very old practice and it was meant to give farmers a little extra light I suppose in the as they worked on the farm because we were mostly an agricultural country back then um and so it might does that make sense to you is that is that something
that it has to do with i think that it could definitely um i do know that it was also uh related to energy conservation okay so i think it's supposed to be like it was i think it was kind of supposed to encourage us to i don't know i don't know how that aspect is supposed to work i'll be real Well,
it gives you more natural light so that you didn't need to burn oil in the evenings as often, as much in the summer months or in the warmer months.
Yeah, I kind of thought that, but in the winter, it really makes everything, like, more depressing.
Yeah, I know, I know.
That's why it's warmer.
It's like you don't have any daylight.
um you get like the sun doesn't start coming out I guess it it comes out but you're like in school or doing whatever and it's like barely out and you're in school or at work all day and when you get off the sun's already gone basically um for midwesters anyway yeah I what what are your feelings about my
feelings of daylight savings time daylight savings time is that it's just it's an old practice that doesn't really belong anymore uh what it does is really just confuses people people are just late for work or early for work um accidentally the day after because yeah that happened to my aunt who was early
yeah you show up an hour early and you're like where is everybody and then you go like oh daylight savings time it's only eight o 'clock it's not nine o 'clock oh okay um late an hour because you're like oh i thought it was nine o 'clock but it's actually 10 o 'clock now yeah for like my generation it doesn't
happen so much because our technology which is what we use to tell time automatically switches um so i don't even know like i don't even notice especially i don't i'm still i'm i work as a freelancer so i don't even really notice anymore but with my aunt uh it definitely affected her and then it's like
gen x and boomers and like slightly older generations that still use like alarm clocks and you know go by the actual digital or not digital the actual manual clocks like on the kitchen or like in their car and stuff um that's definitely that definitely usually affects them oh that's for Sure.
My generation, like I remember, um, you know, when I was in high school, they would, they would, you know, remind us and, um, the news would always remind people, don't forget to set your clocks one hour forward.
And, and then you have to, you know, set your clock one hour forward so that your alarm goes off at the right time.
Otherwise you're going to be late for school.
Right. I believe Mexico does daylight savings still, but like in a different kind of hour or your old or broken phone can let you down when you need it most perfect but at verizon trade in any old phone from our top brands and get the most for it up to two thousand dollars in value for an amazing new

Like different time and only certain areas of Mexico do it.
Like rural areas do not follow daylight saving time.
So it makes it even more confusing.
Yeah, I think we should just abolish it because I don't think it's really helpful anymore.
And most countries don't follow it, right?
It doesn't happen in Korea.
Am I correct in saying that?
No, it doesn't happen in Korea.
We don't have to deal with this at all in South Korea.
Um, I, I think the, the purpose, um, I'm just going to read here what I, what I found online.
It says the primary goal of daylight savings time is to make better use of daylight during the longer days of summer, thereby reducing the need for artificial lighting in the evenings, which is exactly what you said.
Um, it is believed to save energy and promote outdoor activities during the extended daylight hours.
So it's mostly to benefit you in the summer, the summertime and the spring.
And in the winter, no one cares because it's already getting dark early anyway.
Everyone's indoors, people aren't like outside playing or whatever.
Yeah, yeah. I just remember growing up in Minnesota because it's quite far north, I would go to school.
and when I got out of school at 3 3 30 or whatever and I'm you know the sun was going down like it was yeah it was so strange because it's almost you spent the whole all of the light uh was while you were sitting in the school building and then as soon as you go outside the the sun is going down already
so it's it's basically time to go sit inside your house um i think we'd be better off just abolishing it like you said and there's still plenty of light in the summertime and there's so much artificial lighting now anyway and it's so much cheaper now because uh light bulbs are are energy efficient um
i don't think it really saves that much energy to be honest yeah i also don't think it does either because i think in the summer we're already we're just going to use as much energy as we use like people are going to be up on netflix or whatever it's we don't really live in a world that that operates
on outside time any longer you know we kind of go by our own time because technology is still available to you all hours of the day so we don't really we don't use outdoors as much as we did before i don't think.
So it's not really like, yeah, I don't know.
It's not very necessary.
Yeah, our daily habits.
Exactly. I'll read the controversy here.
Daylight Savings Time is a topic of debate with proponents.
So people that agree with it argue that it saves energy, reduces traffic accidents, and promotes outdoor activities.
However, critics argue that the benefits are minimal, very small, or non -existent.
They don't exist at all.
And that daylight savings transitions can disrupt sleep patterns and have negative effects on health and productivity, which that's where I tend to lean.
I agree with that, the second part of that.
I agree with it too.
Yeah. All right, listeners.
Well, let us know. What do you think about daylight savings is it something that you use in your country i'm very unfamiliar about which countries use it and which countries don't um so i'm curious to know and do you think it's a good idea why or why not um shoot us a message at it is the english podcast
