With Daylight Savings once again coming up, it never fails for it to spark discussions about its purpose in modern times. People hate it widely while few seem to be okay with it and depending where you live, others don’t even know what the deal is.

Politicians have actually put it on the docket to be voted on, but seems to have lost traction. Quite frankly, this is an issue that should be done and over with. Just end it, but please end it when we have the clocks dialed back than forward, because I wouldn’t like time going faster than it already is.

        The heat press or glue or whatever is too strong and keeps me from opening the bag cleanly. Top tier cereal bags essentially peel open and leave a clean hole at the top of the bag to pour from.

        Not OP, but I would say a lot of cereal bag plastic has too much elasticity. This means that you will pull in the bag in attempts to open it, but the plastic will just stretch, until all of a sudden the elastic tension (?) is released and the energy is distributed through a hairline crack in the bag that goes halfway down. The sudden release of energy can also cause the cereal to go everywhere.

      3 legged chairs sounds like a nightmare, why not 4 legs with basic suspension mechanisms in the legs? 3 legged chairs is such a bad idea I’m questioning the validity of most of the rest of your screed. How do you propose 3 legged chairs to work without being a tipping hazard? 1 leg in the front or well off the back (impeding the walkway behind the chair)

        Chairs with three legs are semi-common, it functions like a tri-pod which can be very stable. The legs don’t extend beyond the top much more than any other chair.

        A simple wooden stool with three legs and horizontal struts between them.
