daylight savings tiktok comment: “no one wants it dark at 5pm”

IMMEDIATELY sparks a 550-post flame war

someone on here (I forget who) said that proponents and detractors of DST are basically people with and without kids. can someone explain this to me as a non-parent?

figuring out my next thing | marketing, content, growth | prev. Juicebox, Nouns, RAW DAO | casting about coffee, hi-fi, and other rabbit holes

absolutely

no kids: “the sun should be out late so i can enjoy the evening after work”

with kids: “the sun should be out early in the morning so my kids can get on the school bus when it isn’t pitch black outside”

(i’m team “sun should be out late” btw)

okay that’s totally fair, thank you

though seems like a non-parent who wakes up very early would be equally likely to join team “sun should be out early”
