Daylight Saving Time 2024: When Texas Will Fall Back So You Can Get Your Extra Hour of Sleep

Texas is sweltering, and not just because it's located directly above the fiery gates of hell. It's hot as balls, and everyone is desperate for some relief. So, it's good news that Daylight Saving Time is here to f**k around with our clocks and give Texans something else to complain about.

When Does Daylight Saving Time End in 2024?

In 2024, Daylight Saving Time ends at 2 a.m. on Sunday, November 3. We'll switch back to standard time, and DST will be over.

Like a sexy one-night stand, you'll get an extra hour, but then it's gone, baby. Phones and computers will adjust automatically, but old-school gadgets like your mom's microwave and boomer car radio will be clueless and need manual attention.

When Is the Shortest Day of 2024?

The shortest day of the year is Winter Solstice, which falls on Saturday, December 21, 2024.

As we approach this blessed event, mornings will feel like a hungover sunrise, and evenings will become a dark early grave, marking the death of another pointless day. Whoop-de-f**king-do.

What Does the End of Daylight Saving Time Mean?

The end of DST means longer, brighter mornings and earlier, darker evenings. So, you'll either be blinded by daylight on your way to work or shrouded in darkness on your way to the liquor store.

For most Americans (except Arizona, Hawaii, and a few other smart places), this also means an extra hour of sleep on November 5. Unless you're a parent, in which case, your kids will still wake you up at the crack of dawn because they're sugar-addled demons.

The History of Daylight Saving Time

DST has many names: Daylight Saving Time, Daylight Shaving Time (for incels), and Daylighting Losing Time (for the perpetually depressed). It's the practice of changing clocks during the year to maximize sunlight and piss people off.

The idea started during WWI, allegedly inspired by a satirical letter Benjamin Franklin wrote in 1784, suggesting church bells and cannons be used to wake up the lazy masses. What a cruel, beautiful idea.

During the war, Germany and Austria adopted DST to maximize resources. The US followed suit in 1918, because if there's one thing 'Murica loves, it's copying Europe and wasting resources on pointless traditions. Some say it's a dumb, outdated idea, and they're probably commie snowflakes.

DST aims to maximize natural light (because candles were expensive, and electricity wasn't invented yet). This happens during the summer when the Earth is closest to the sun and tilted towards it, causing longer days and hotter temperatures.

In the Southern Hemisphere, seasons are reversed, so Australia can kiss my a** while they freeze their butts off in June.
