I'll edit my responses here...

A small anecdote here: I read a few days ago that apparently, Alzheimer's patients get their daily routine and circadian rhythm knocked around by this policy

Edit 2: It's funny how people are talking about time, as if this were my 2nd post of discussion on why time measurement is bullshit, on my account...

Some memorable replies here:

another point is that it's probably not great for animals with a strong internal clock

Do not make me get up an hour earlier I will fucking cut you.

On the other hand it is nice the park is open later but have you considered just adequately lighting the park bike paths?

it's bad and we should commemorate the inventor with a public toilet

    We could also just make their schooldays shorter. They don't learn anything apart from being beaten down by keeping them in school for an inordinate amount of hours. There isn't really a correlation between time spent in school and academic performance https://junilearning.com/blog/guide/shorter-school-days/
    And again whatever you feel about it, early morning classes have been shown time and again to be bad for the students. At this point you're advocating for vibes-based policy.

      I’m basing what I am saying off of my own life. My own experiences suggest that saying that school should start later is like saying that the sky is orange. It simply sound ludicrous like a suggestion made in jest. I wouldn’t have an issue with time being moved back if that didn’t cause a later realize in the afternoon. I simply know that isn’t going to be the way it is

        Yeah that's what I am saying - Vibes based. When you argue for large scale policy, you shouldn't do it based off of singular anecdotal experience, especially not when you are given proof of your anecdotal reference being wrong

          Because this so-called evidence seems as ridiculous as to say that the sky is orange. I simply am saying I would hate it to have later work/school start times. For myself, I would be so incredibly miserable. I don’t care what others say in regards to my comments on it. If I had had to start later and stay later I probably would have wanted to kill myself with those hours

            To you, because it disagrees with your own opinion on the matter, you don't vibe with it. You are doing vibes-based solutions, and you refuse to accept the facts. This is not a good way to go about life.
