  • It’s the whole “Is Pepsi fine?” Thing.

    You ask if they have coke and they will say “is Pepsi fine?” Then you can say “Yes I’ll take a Sprite” and get Starry.

    Like you can’t order a sprite without saying sprite. You cannot be like “I’ll take a soda” and expect sprite. Same with saying coke. You have to elaborate.

    You could ask for a “coke” and accept any soda. But you’re not really calling what they are giving you coke. You just wanted any soda.

    Sounds like anendophasia

    It is not considered a disorder

    If we were to make a computer to “read our minds” it would pick up on our internal dialog which people with anendophasia do not have.

    People with anendophasia are not dumb. They just think different.

    Like imagine a person that was born deaf. They can’t have a verbal dialog in their heads. They could imagine sign language, images, or words. But just because they were born deaf doesn’t mean their IQ is low. They just think different.





  • You sprinkle some more cereal on the milk whenever you run out of cereal.

    The whole point is to not have soggy cereal

    Really depends on preference and cereal type

    It’s less of an argument between milk first vs second, but people that like soggy vs crunchy cereal.

    The important thing is to not add too much cereal before you can eat it all. Adding in cereal last just helps make sure you don’t.





  • Thing is you can’t make everyone happy.

    Daylight savings time sole objective is to move 1 hour of sunlight in the morning to the evening.

    I’m not sure how it’s supposed to help farmers unless they want to sleep in and work an extra hour into the evening. I think that it helping farmers is more of a myth.

    So much of DST is misunderstood

    Most people I have heard hate daylight savings time because “the sun sets so early in the winter”

    Yet that’s the outcome of not staying on permanent DST. Winter is standard time.

    Others hate the switch. Once again it’s because we don’t stay permanently on one.

    I’m with you though, I enjoy the extra hour of sunlight in the evening.


  • Let’s look at NY city.

    June 21th longest day, sunrise is at 5:24 am (Set 8:31 pm)

    December 21th longest night, sunrise is at 6:42 am (Set 4:32 pm)

    If you got rid of daylight savings time then the sun would rise at 4:24 am in June and set at 7:31 pm.

    (Most people in NY probably want the extra hour of light at 7:31 pm instead of 4:24 am)

    If you kept permanent daylight savings then the sun would rise at 7:42 am in December and set at 5:32 pm)

    (Most people in NY probably want some light before 8 because it’s going to be dark after dinner anyways)

    So many people are awake before 8 am compared to 5 am

    So many people enjoy the light at 7:30 pm in the summer

    Switching really is the sweet spot for NY

    Location is definitely important too in hating or liking DST

    Ontonagon, Mi sun sets at 5:25 pm tonight (7:58 am rise)

    Dexter, Me sun sets at 4:10 pm tonight (6:33 am rise)

    Same time zone, both northern cities.

    If we didn’t get off DST Ontonagon wouldn’t see the sunrise until almost 9 am today

    People in Dexter might have preferred to stay on DST getting light between 7:33 am to 5:10 pm today

    The farther west you live in a time zone the less you like DST generally. Farther east, the more you like it.

    Ontonagon is so west it should really be in Central Time zone.

    If that was the case then the sun would set at 4:25 pm tonight (6:58 am rise) (basically Dexter ME times)

    At that point they might want to stay on DST and it would make it exactly what it was today, sunset at 5:25 pm tonight (7:58 am rise)
