[REVISITING] Daylight Savings Time: The Conspiracy Theories
On Sunday, November 5 at 2am, DST ends. But how did it even start? I've got answers! WRITTEN and ILLUSTRATED by PETER MOORE
LESS SUNLIGHT. MORE DARKNESS. Endless notifications about the coming time change.
Fall back?
Conspiracies forward, people!
Here are my leading theories about the real story behind Daylight Savings Time.
D.S.T. Theory #1: There’s a glitch in the Matrix. It’s obvious: That cat is trying to tell us something!
D.S.T. Theory #2: It’s a plot by time-change-clock illustrators. Cartoonists. Always trying to make a buck.
D.S.T. Theory #3: It’s the human inclination toward over-complicating absolutely everything. Including that sentence I just wrote. And the Antikythera Mechanism.
D.S.T. Theory #4: Hospitals. Car accidents skyrocket after we turn the clocks forward. Or back. Who benefits from that?
D.S.T. Theory #5: It was Dwight David Eisenhower. I mean, obviously, right?

That is one creepy-looking DDE there.
So they're not out to get me?
