A place to share screenshots of Microblog posts, whether from Mastodon, tumblr, ~~Twitter~~ X, KBin, Threads or elsewhere.

Created as an evolution of White People Twitter and other tweet-capture subreddits.

  1. Your post must be a screen capture of a microblog-type post that includes the UI of the site it came from, preferably also including the avatar and username of the original poster. Including relevant comments made to the original post is encouraged.
  2. Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
  3. You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
  4. Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
  5. Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If an image is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.

Do you? That's stupid.

It is, indeed, stupid that we use standard time at all.

The first people to start working in my area are landscapers and construction. They want to start as early as possible, so they can clock out before the heat of the afternoon.

Unfortunately, all the noise ordinances have been established with DST in effect. They can arrive on site, but they can't start working until 7 or 8 AM. This is to ensure the entire neighborhood isn't woken up at some ridiculously early time on the clock. They would start at, or before sunrise if they could. It's just safer to work strenuous jobs in the cooler morning hours than the heat of the day.

Standard Time needlessly pushes them back another hour into the day.
