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?

    I can count to 10, 12, 24, 28, 31, 33 or 34 on one hand, depending on how I wanna do it. I feel like it's all vibes. One wants a specific number system and work backwards to retroactively rationalise it, looking for specifics that support it. It's like people arguing imperial is better than metric because it "makes more sense".

      Well yeah, with computation none of this really matters. It's vibes.

      I vibe with 1/3 being as easy to express as 1/2 and 1/4 but that's purely aesthetic lol
