So many people agreed because of daylight savings, those two days are not twenty four hours

The whole world does not observe dst and it does not mean the world changes orbiting direction for and hr or speedsomething up. Dst is man made to benefit working and leisure hours
Y'all realize that our days aren't actually 24 hours long ever, right? The actual time is 23 hours and 50-something minutes. We just say it's 24 hours and plug the excess time into that one extra day every 4 years: February 29th. We do this because the Earth's rotation is not a permanent ratio to it's orbit around the Sun, so every 4 years we get 366 days in the year instead of 365.
Anyways, the point of this post is that there are only two days in your lifetime that are shorter than the others. For all of you trying to prove it wrong with daylight savings, or time of birth/death, just stop. For one, America is one of, if not THE, only country/countries that follow daylight savings, and it is very nearly impossible to die the exact second you were born years before. Y'all need to take the post for what it means and stop trying to prove people wrong, cuz all it does is make you look like a jackass.
i know. it's just i am a perfectionist so i had to say the exact minutes, and i do not like pointing out things and correcting them, that makes me a smart arse, so i just made a separate comment
and besides, I had to USE that knowledge somewhere. i was forced to learn the exact numbers, and now at least I now it was not for nothing. :D
