And the fact that the Earth is round. Really screws us up. How dare it rotates and makes 24 hours.

No matter if we use standard time or DST, there will be weird and unnatural sunrise and sunset times
Here, on June 21, sun comes up at 4:45 am, that would be 3:45 if we were at standard
on Dec 21, sun rises at 7:45 am- that would be 8:45 if we were on DST.
I do not see an advantage either way.
I have made some 8th grade honors students do a "what if" with the tilt.
We go in depth with seasons, tilt, sunrise, sunset, DST.
Then I make them explain the seasons, temps, climate, sunrise and sunset IF the Earth was not tilted 23.5 degrees.
They do well. Takes a lot of thought.
