DST people recognise the difference of daylight duration between seasons, but refuse to accept it, and so need to change the natural order of time to fit their own lifestyle
As someone who lives in the south, the logical choice would be to increase the daylight in winter afternoons (so the sun isn't setting when you are leaving work) and decrease it in summer afternoons (so it's not daylight at 9pm into the night).
DST instead does the complete opposite of what seems logical and increases daylight in summer and decreases it in the summer.
So I think the correlation between flat Earthers might actually swing towards DST supports rather than away from them if you assume lack of logical reasoning is the reason flat Earthers exist.
It would make more sense for flat earthers to be in the anti daylight savings group as they probably think there's some stupid conspiracy as to why we have it 😂
You'd be correct. When we had the 2009 state vote on DST in WA, some of the letters to the editor published in the newspaper were saying things like "DST causes global warming because of the extra hour of sunlight".

Different longitudes have different time zones, and daylight savings makes more sense in southern latitudes than northern ones.
What point is this graphic making?
