I was BAMBOOZLED! I bought into the Ben Franklin hype when I was younger, and never did my own research.
Benjamin Franklin, the Father of DST?
Many sources also credit Benjamin Franklin for being the first to suggest seasonal time change. However, the idea voiced by the American inventor and politician in 1784 can hardly be described as fundamental for the development of modern DST. After all, it did not even involve turning the clocks. In a letter to the editor of the Journal of Paris, entitled “An Economical Project for Diminishing the Cost of Light,” Franklin simply suggested that Parisians could economize candle usage by getting people out of bed earlier in the morning. What's more: Franklin meant it as a joke.
The History of Daylight Saving Time
Daylight Saving Time (DST) is used to save energy and make better use of daylight. It was first used in 1914 in Regina, Canada.www.timeanddate.com
I used capital letters when I spelled bamboozled. How is that yelling at you? Are we not allowed to use capital letters in gon forums?99 out of 100 people back then didn`t even carry a timepiece and probably didn`t own one. As my dear Grandma always said, "a man`s work is sun to sun, a woman`s work is never done."
And if you holler at me one more time, it won`t be harmonious. Done told you once...
Same here. We don't set the clocks until the next afternoon. Don't want to wake up and feel cheated. Works for us. Winter is for hibernation and getting fat and lazy.Not me. I hate when it's pitch black dark at 5:30 in the winter. It's always dark when I get up and leave in the morning, no matter what the time scheme is. It's nice to come home in the daylight, at least.

Here is an example of somebody else here on gon forum using entire words in capital letters. I don't see how it's "yelling" when used in context. Am I being singled out?
"Next one up was Great Granddad's hog skinner, now my personal kitchen knife and the reason my SiL knows why I have 2 laws in the kitchen: Don't NO ONE touch my knives or cast iron!"
I was just wondering why you were singling me out for doing what other people do. I'm no snitch I'm just trying to figure out your thought process.I forgot you are a yankee, ya'll holler at everbody and everything. good snitch too.
Now you gonna have Capt Jack mad at you.

Selective enforcement? I don't know who Capt. Jack is but if they are mad I have no control over that. I just grabbed a random comment to show that I'm not the only person that uses capital letters, but I'm the only person that you seem to have a problem with doing that for some reason.
Some say the gobblers will be finished breeding by tonight because the hens will be off kilter till season is over.Wonder if it will have a detrimental effect on turkey hunting like the effects on deer hunting at the November change
Don't make fun. All the governments know the sun stays out an extra hour when we change our clocks. Just ask AOC.
Knew a feller once that said the extra hour of sunlight when the time changes burns up his garden. Alrighty then....
From what I’ve read, the bill for permanent DST has passed the senate but not the House and hasn’t been signed into law by the idiot in the White House.
There is is no practical reason to continue the idiotic practice of changing the clocks. It’s all about control.
