The show’s staff assemble lots of facts and figures that typically show that some concept or common practice really has no place in the 21st century. Topics have included Ayn Rand, The Sports Illustrated Swim Suit Edition, and Columbus Day. For those unfamiliar with the show and for your general amusement, here’s Daily Savings Time: How is This Still a Thing? DST is an absurd concept and it’s assumed history (it has something to do with farmers?) is false. Yet we (and about 70 other countries) go through this unjustified routine every year, as if it was important.
