Daylight savings is the strangest phenomenon. The number of hours of sunlight doesn’t change, the numbers of hours in the day don’t change but somehow because enough people say it’s an hour earlier than it actually is, it suddenly is an hour earlier. Don’t you wish everything was that way?

Everything actually IS that way.
For example, while the amount of time that the earth takes to rotate around the sun each day is constant (24 hours), it’s a purely human desicion to divide a day into 24 period of 60 mins each.
If enough people agree, we can define an “hour” as 30 minutes, and presto! we have 48 hours per day.
I realize that’s not quite what you meant, but then the nerd in me took over.
