This is literally George W. Bush's fault, he's the one who pushed the DST changes several weeks earlier in the spring and later in the fall in 2005. This and Hurricane Katrina happened at the same time.
no, next day should be no school because the children are horribly behaved the day after halloween regardless of time change
edit: i should mention it's a good question. just the damn school districts have to give us and thus the kids the day off and make someone stay home from work in these dual income homes. Nov 1 should be a paid federal/bank holiday.
the king firefuckworks (one year they set off the finale first, then instead of "oh fuck let's just set everything off right now" they decided to let off everything else slowly and safely the cowards. one by one. it whimpered out. so they get the worst name i can devise in our town. so far that's the worst) don't start til like 945PM on the 4th of july
And what does this strange word "international" mean???
It means international. As in it's an official holiday in a bunch of countries, and unofficially observed to one degree or another in a whole heap more.
it has been a rethorical one trying do point out the case of US-defaultism
No, I understood that. My reply was meant to be read as a rebuke to that idea. Because it isn't an American day. It's less observed in America than it is in many other countries. Claiming it to be US-defaultism relied on a mistaken assumption that because some Americans are talking about it, it must be a uniquely American thing.
Ironically, your complaint about "US-defaultism" was itself the US-defaultism.
Actually the US-defaultism I meant was the assumption that this specific DST date would be a thing outside the US (it's not), applying it to a day that even has the word "international" in its very name.
And I am well aware that this is a valid shitpost.
Deserved some relativizing context nonetheless.

godsfuckingdamned W HE RUINED HALLOWEEN it used to be dark for trick or treating i say we move it back
this is my argument for Standard Time and i can't believe i'm making it because i love DST: DST ruins halloween.
BOOOOOOOOOO DST
Why not just do half day next day for schools so kids can stay up?
no, next day should be no school because the children are horribly behaved the day after halloween regardless of time change

Hot take:
If DST still makes the evening on Halloween too bright, you actually don't need DST.

It's international women's day but not international daylight saving. Not all countries do it and most who do have a different date
The US saw one of the things they did followed the international standard and wouldn't stand for it.

But daylight saving day is on March, 29. 🤔

How many countries change to DST today?
Looks like you have been the only commenter so far to get the point of my own comment.
Seems like it was less obvious than I thought...
Do we internationally celebrate all women? Or are we supposed to celebrate women from other countries?
Just one. International Woman.
Thanks for the honest attempt to actually answer the given question.
I'm feeling slightly bad now, as it has been a rethorical one trying do point out the case of US-defaultism in the meme in an ironic way.
Thought it to be obvious myself, so decided against the /s tag here...

In this states it's this weekend, I believe
We changed DST to steal an hour from them
Yes, but in this states it's in three weeks...
In the rest of the world daylight saving day is last weekend of March, so women are respected additional hour.
After that final hour, respect returns to the normal amount.
Women can have 76% of a day
