gollark: Never mind the certainly huge amount of bugs which could emerge from some hours running twice, or not at all, and the extreme hassle of dealing with also having to translate pre-DST-implementation and post-DST-implementation dates!
gollark: Why not just MEDDLE WITH THE VERY FABRIC OF TIME ITSELF instead of changing working hours?
gollark: Tired of getting up at times which don't... align with the sun, or something?
gollark: It's a bad solution to a problem which I don't think even exists, which creates nightmares for programmers everywhere.
gollark: Daylight saving time is just so terrible.
Notes
- Runs seven days in a week for every direction.
