Daylight Savings Time dooms the world

By LUDWIG VON KOOPA - This is the way the world ends / This is the way the world ends / Not with a bang but with Daylight Savings Time.

Did you "spring forward" an hour yesterday? If you didn't, then you're either in Arizona, Hawaii, Saskatchewan, somewhere not in our target audience (we love you, Japan!), or you... FORGOT! And if you're under that last bit, well, you're screwed! You're probably late to school or work. It's better to not show up at all than to show up late, so get a doctor's note and spend the rest of the day reading KoopaTV articles and getting points for the Loyalty Rewards Program.

Daylight Savings Time is one of the worst times of the year. It's an arbitrary (if it wasn't, it wouldn't be able to be changed so easily) time where you adjust every clock in your house or office an hour ahead or an hour back. You hate when it's an hour ahead (like yesterday) and feel slightly better when it's an hour back, since you "get an extra hour of sleep". That hour you spent sleeping is really wasted finding all the clocks and changing them, though.

Remember: Since the GameCube, Nintendo systems have had a timer on them. So you better change the internal times to your 3DS and Wii U and any other game system you still use from the past decade, since they sure don't do it automatically!

It's pretty frightening that we let the government regulate something as fundamental to nature as time itself. They're gonna put Dialga and Celebi out of business! DST is a government-wide robbery of the Time Gears!

(Play that for the rest of the article.)

Imagine you are Link going through Termina. The Moon is crashing down. You have one hour left before the world ends.

...AND THEN, WOOPS, YOU DON'T REALLY HAVE AN HOUR. It's... Daylight Savings!

So it's game over. For humanity.

If only you had that hour...

Question: Does the world of Ace Attorney have Daylight Savings? If you subscribe that they take place in Japan, then the answer is "no". If you believe they take place in California, then "yes". And if you think the canon is the mythical "Japanifornia", then... it's unclear. I can picture this exchange in an Ace Attorney game...

Says Phoenix Wright!

"The witness testified that he arrived at the crime scene at 3:05 AM and then called police. We already established the victim was murdered at approximately 1:55 AM. So... what happened in the missing hour?!" Phoenix Wright asked.
(This is it! This is the breakthrough in the entire case!)

The witness's face turned red, and he was flustered.

Simon Blackquill slammed the prosecutor's bench.

"Wright-dono, you forget: The night of the murder was Daylight Savings Time! Do not unsheathe your blade if you are only going to dull it with paltry parries like that!" Simon Blackquill retorted. The witness calmed down.

"Mr. Wright, what's Daylight Savings Time?" Athena asked. She had spent her years in Europe in Borginia, which did not observe Daylight Savings Time.

"Daylight Savings Time is when the clocks are moved forward by an hour for more daylight during working hours. Modern electronic devices automatically adjust, and the timestamps for this case are from such devices." Wright explained.
(I completely forgot that was a factor!)

"Witness, what happened next?" The Judge asked, and the testimony continued.

...Okay, enough of that. Clearly, Daylight Savings is obscuring the way towards true justice and the truth. So clearly, KoopaTV has to be against it.

We'd like to highlight an item from our new Store... AND POINT OUT IT'S ON SALE!:

You want it? Go to our Store.

TV Troopas Wall Clock
$35.00 USD 20% off! $28.00 USD!

Time is too slow for those who wait, too swift for those who fear, too long for those who grieve, too short for those who rejoice, but for KoopaTV staffers Claira and Devin, time is eternity.

• 2 sizes: 8" diameter (medium) or 10.75" diameter (large).

• Not DST-compatible.

Time IS eternity, and that's the way it should be. Just skipping an hour and pretending it doesn't exist is completely warping how time works. That's why we're selling the DST-incompatible clocks for 20% off. Just use the promo-code "SAYNO2DST" (without quotes) in your order form to save $7! Sale lasts until March 16, 2015, 12 AM Eastern timezone. That's pre-DST, by the way, so if you're going by DST manipulating it's 1 AM. The way it works is when you order it, we set the time once and then you can't set it ever again. That way you can also rebel against these timezone things! (Those are on a political basis as well!)

Remember: Things like the Leap Year are necessary based on how the Gregorian calendar works. Daylight Savings is just a man-made, arbitrary creation. It's not natural or mathematical. It's a policy thing based on supposedly saving fractions of a percent on energy consumption because the government wants to inconvenience your lives through micromanaging how time works. I really can't get over the hubris that has to be involved in that! They cover it up with cutesie slogans like "Spring Forward", so we'll counter with our cutesie TV Troopas!


KoopaTV believes in the values of truth and levity, so the relevant value here is "truth". You cannot know the "true" time if the government is manipulating it! Ludwig spreads his dislike of DST in other places, including Miiverse, where you can Follow him at NNID PrinceOfKoopas!
