Early starts and darker days may be taking more than just an hour of sleep. An Ottawa researcher lays out the hidden toll of time change.

It’s handy as a litmus test for those too delicate to survive.

If a one hour change fractures your entire fragile life then I have nothing but contempt for you.

I don’t really care about it other than for being useful to identify whiners.

Oh my, the fragile came out in droves for this one. It’s awesome. Blocking every single one of you as useless to the modern world. 🤣

Could you try for one second not to make everything some kind of culture war issue?

People say that something might be able to be improved slightly, and your response is…

“Fuck those whiners”

Indeed. People who can’t cope with the absolute smallest of inconveniences ever show their inability to deal with the modern world.

Can I count you among them then?

There’s a difference between whining and asking why are things the way they are. You sound like the whiner here tbh

Careful not to cut yourself on that edge, bud

Hey, I found a new litmus test of my own! Neat!

I know heart attack and stroke rates go up with daylight savings time. You have contempt for people that have heart attacks and you think you’re the reasonable one? Yeah, okay buddy.

lol. You know. Pathetic. Another one for block list.

I know because there’s studies and rates you can look up. In spring heart attacks raise something like 24% and stroke 8% on the Monday of daylight savings. That’s a public health issue. There’s legitimate reasons to not like the change and you literally said you “have nothing but contempt” for people who are “too delicate to survive.” 🤷‍♀️
