Societies use the Earth's axial tilt to hack an extra hour of sunlight

Daylight Saving Time is a clever manipulation of planetary mechanics that capitalizes on the Earth's 23.5-degree axial tilt. By shifting clocks forward one hour during the summer, we effectively hack the extra evening sunlight provided by the planet's orientation toward the sun. This practice was first popularized in Germany in 1916 to combat wartime coal shortages by reducing the need for artificial lighting.
