NOTE: This is the first quick doodle I've done in ages that I was even remotely happy with. It's amazing how some nights everything flows, and other nights it's like trying to push shit up hill.
EXTRA NOTE: Does anybody know the proper name for those sticking-out-the-side bits that people had on the hips of their trousers back in the early 1900s, or what they were there for?

I thought Daylight Savings was invented *because* of the Germans. So people in London during the Blitz could sit up longer without turning on their house lights and making it obvious to the bombers where the populated areas still were.
I fucking hate it too. I hate going to bed when it's still hot from the day. And I hate leaving the house in the morning rugged up for the cold and carrying those clothes around for the rest of the day after they become superfluous.
I guess we'll never know the true history Suze … unless one of us can be arsed looking it up. … So, like I said, I guess we'll never know.
We don't even move the clocks up here in QLD, but it still manages to fuck up anything that requires interstate coordination.
I never saw the point in daylight savings in oz - there's enough light as it is
But can't wait here for the clocks to go back near end of Oct. I'm going to be walking to the bus stop with a torch and suddenly it's a miracle, I don't need the torch anymore, at least for a while
Alright, so let's just say the clocks shift in October, and all of a sudden you don't have to catch the bus in the dark—okay—cool—so why not just leave them there? What do you gain by constantly shifting them back and forth?
I don't know. I personally think when it's cold and dark we should all stay in bed so I would take that further and say what's to be gained in having clocks at all
Turns out you are right about DST:
However, the idea did not catch on globally until Germany introduced DST in 1916. Clocks in the German Empire, and its ally Austria, were turned ahead by 1 hour on April 30, 1916—2 years into World War I. The rationale was to minimize the use of artificial lighting to save fuel for the war effort.
Aha, so the Kiwi thing was bullshit then?
Squib, I need my clocks. They let me know when things are going to happen.
