Time zone abbreviations suck
Yesterday morning a huge chunk of the east coast of Australia changed from AEDT (Australian Eastern Daylight Time) to AEST (Australian Eastern Standard Time) thanks to DST (Daylight Saving Time) ending.
We went from %DT when %ST was in effect, to %ST where %ST is not in effect.
These names and acronyms are crap. The whole concept of daylight saving time is crap. We, like every other household in the country, have a few things with clocks that need to be manually changed. It takes me 5 minutes.
5 minutes × twice a year × 10 million Australian households = 100,000,000 minutes = 69,444 human days. Every year.
What exactly does it save?
