Top Ten Reasons Trump Wants to Eliminate Daylight Savings Time—Part 2

Vlad says it would help stop the war in Ukraine, and Trump doesn't see any reason why his good buddy Putin would pull his leg
The concept of a "Daylight Savings Time" superhero for his NFT collection just doesn't seem cool
Unfortunately, he's lost interest in DST, so he's going to make it go away by appointing it to be the ambassador to Greece
Trump is certain it's a key reason that windmills harm whales
Elon Musk has convinced Trump that without DST he'll be able to sell lots more Teslas
Trump once dated a woman named "Daylight," but she wasn't worth saving
Several of his supporters recommend it (including Pete Hegseth, Lex Luthor, Tulsi Gabbard, Hannibal Lecter, and RFK Jr.)
He prefers to achieve his savings goals through lower interest rates, thank you very much
Hopes it will make the price of eggs go down. Please, Mr. Postman?
Wants to wait 17 years before upsetting the cicadian rhythms again

Commentary

Daylight Savings Time has long been a topic of debate. The linked Wikipedia article covers the history of the practice, as well as pros and cons.

Rather than engaging in a serious discussion of the pros and cons, however, we've decided to make up reasons why U.S. President-Elect Donald Trump wants to get rid of Daylight Savings Time. Why? Because that would be fun. This resulting funny top ten list is the second in a series of two lists on the topic of Daylight Savings Time. Here's a link to Part 1.

Some of the items are riffs on various Trumpisms, such as believing whatever Russian President Vladimir Putin tells him (item 10), insisting that windmills harm whales (item 7), and merchandising his NFT collection of Trump-themed superheroes (item 2). Item 1 is a jumbled reference to the fact that the DST time changes upset people's circadian rhythms, but we rather slickly changed "circadian" to "cicadian" and threw in 17 years as a wacky reference to the Brood X cicadas from 2021. (C'mon, admit it—you laughed, didn't you?) Some of the reasons are just plain ridiculous or silly (e.g., item 5).

Welcome to klugness.com!

The U.S. website www.klugness.com was launched in October 2022 with over 100 funny top ten lists, and has since increased that number to over 200. The klugness site doesn't include jokes in the traditional sense, but is dedicated to humor using a David Letterman-style top ten list format. A portion of the content focuses on American politics, with the site generally leaning left, while the rest is garden-variety humor ala MAD magazine. We hope you enjoy the site!

This image appears on List 222 - Top Ten Incorrect Translations of "Veni, Vidi, Vici"—Part 1, the first list in a two-part series on satirical/fake translations of a famous Julius Caesar phrase.

This home page shows the most recent top ten list. Please check out the full archive of funny top ten lists on klugness.com at All Top Ten Lists. Note these lists were created up to five years ago, even though the klugness site itself is two years old. The archive page also includes a "List Sampler" table of 18 selected funny top ten lists that will give you a sense of our content without having to tackle all 200+ funny top ten lists. Beneath the "List Sampler" is information about the pictures we've been adding to the site since the beginning of 2023. The pictures are generated using a combination of artificial intelligence and traditional means.

The amount of content in our Imagining Things blog (currently 12 posts) isn't as robust as our top ten lists (currently over 200 lists), but that also means it's fairly quick and painless for visitors to check out the blog. While the rate of publication has slowed drastically since the initial burst of posts after the blog was launched in November 2022, we're pleased to share our long-awaited magnum opus Problem Solving Part 1—Newton's Method and Bisection Method. In this lengthy post, our webmaster engages in a deep dive regarding two mathematical problem solving approaches, and then tries to extrapolate those strategies to real life. Sure, we're embarrassed to admit that it's now been about a year (gulp) since we posted Part 1, and our li'l genius artist still hasn't finished drafting part 2 of this two-part post, but he claims it's still bubbling very near to the top of his to-do list. Perhaps he'll post part 2 before hell freezes over. Dacht.

Getting back to the funny top ten lists, we offer a couple of targeted subsets that focus on particular themes. For example, the Trump-Themed Lists are critical of former President Trump, so you won't like them if you're a Trump aficionado.

Another theme is the clever May 2020 Now vs. Then series, which consists of 10 funny top ten lists that compare and contrast the initial coronavirus times to historical times in an amusing way (e.g., "stay at home" vs. "rock and roll all nite"). That early pandemic theme was created in 2000, but it feels sooo ancient! Based on viewership of these pages, it appears that most folks are loathe to revisit that challenging period, and we don't blame you!

Note that the themed lists are also included on the All Top Ten Lists archive (i.e., the themed lists are a subset of the full archive), so if you looked at the full archive, you won't find any new material on the themed lists. This handy bit of intell could free up more time for you to gaze at your phone, consider the future direction of Tesla stock, or try not to look at Elon Musk's midriff as he leaps into the air at Trump rallies.
