And now last week tonight asks, How is this still a thing this week?

Like most Americans, you've been groggy all day after losing an hour of sleep to daylight saving.

And as you struggle to remember how to change the clock on your king microwave, you may have wondered, why is this happening?

Conventional wisdom has been that it benefits one particular group.

It gives that extra time to plan extra time.

I remember lives ago, hearing that it was for the farm people.

The foreign people want nothing to do with this.

I know really know farmer that I'm aware of that benefits from from actually farm activities on daylight savings.

Of course, daylight saving doesn't benefit farmers.

Cows don't care what time it is because their cows and cows are idiots.

The modern Daylight saving was introduced during the first World War as a fuel saving measured by the Germans.

You lost an hour of sleep this morning, thanks to Kaiser Wilhelm on.

Well back then, Daylight saving may indeed have saved fuel.

In the modern era, energy consumption is a little more complicated.

In fact, when Indiana adopted daylight saving in 2006 guess what happened.

The data shows that daylight saving actually led to a 1% overall rise in residential electricity.

Of course, it did, because switching on a lamp an hour later in the summer.

It doesn't really matter when you're blasting an air conditioner and staying up all night psychotically scrolling through instagrams of your exes honeymoon to Morocco.

But that's not to say daylight saving doesn't have any effects at all.

Studies show there is an increase of car accidents and work related injuries the week after the time change.

What you lose and sleep, you gain in mortal danger.

Despite all this, 70 countries around the world still observe daylight saving.

And yet, by going by local news reports, none of them could tell you why.

Well, daylight saving is almost over for another year, and with it comes the usual debate over its merits or lack thereof.

It's a pain in the ass, basically, to even the Germans, the people who started this whole mess.

It's the time change for many people is ridiculous.

Whether it's an hour ahead or later is complete nonsense, complete nonsense.

And that's coming from a country that thinks this is a word on that this is dancing.

So if it doesn't benefit our energy bill, our health or our stupid, stupid cows, it has to make you wonder daylight saving time.
