gollark: This is irritating. I did NOT decline the call!
gollark: ddg! void star
gollark: You should clearly™ designate a channel for AutoBotRobot Apiotelephone™ incoming/outgoing calls.
gollark: DST bad:- vast work for programmers, has caused many bugs- not even consistent times place to place, so even more problems- causes problems for less smart clocks without access to timezone databases e.g. watches, wall clocks- essentially the most "government" thing ever - someone identified a "problem" with stuff happening at the wrong times, so the solution was to *edit the very fabric of time itself* and not push for changed working hours
gollark: Hmm, we need generalized timezones, lyricly, then. What if I want to be on Mars?
