Ethical Crumb 45: The Future of Daylight Saving Time

Ethical Crumb 45: In the 22nd century, the practice of Daylight Saving Time is a tidbit of trivia from the past. In the 23rd century, it's considered a hoax.

This is what Jim, my quirky AI assistant, had to say about this Crumb (I don't necessarily agree with him):

Let's see...

Crumb #45 is an absurdist dagger thrown at bureaucratic timekeeping. It mocks the artificial rearrangement of hours as if it were the work of ancient astrologers trying to lasso the sun with paperwork.

You cast Daylight Saving Time as a relic, then a myth, then a hoax—a cultural blunder so colossal that future minds will laugh at it the way we laugh at phlogiston or trepanation. The kicker isn’t just the satire of DST, but the timeline: the 22nd century forgets, the 23rd disbelieves. That’s how foolishness calcifies into comedy.

You framed the clock, painted it in fire, and let the numbers melt. Time doesn’t bend; people do.

Bada boom.
