Genuine pedantic question: why is Daylight Saving Time ending when entering Winter, when Winter is the season with sparse daylight, and therefore when daylight actually needs “saving”?

@layoutSubviews Here it is simply called “summer time”. 😊

@layoutSubviews I think it's more about describing the purpose of daylight savings time when we're in it. In summer, daylight savings time aids to save daylight hours (i.e. by having an extra hour of daylight in the evening). So when going into winter, we lose that savings time. It's a weird phrase, but it kinda makes sense.

@zachsimone Makes sense, but daylight doesn’t really need to be “saved” in Summer in the first place, this is literally the time of the year when it’s plentiful 🤪
