So this BS happens about every three years. quick rounding numbers, tell us that if we in fact disregard this second and let the clocks run without accounting for it then in about 129600 years, at midnight clocks would show noon! I think I'm gonna stick around for that. Feels like people would be confused and lost like. But I'll be the one that knows why!

Who's 8pm? Greenwich mean time? East Coast, Central, West . . . who has the controlling clock? The U.K. is on GMT until March when it changes to British Summer Time (BST). GMT does not change though to BST. GMT remains constant and unchanged. Additionally, not all countries have daylight savings time. Therefore GMT must remain unchanged. So while there is still the five hour time difference between EDST and BST, there will only be a four hour difference between EDST and GMT. Thus the extra second right before 8 PM. EDST. Had the extra second been added in December, the addition would have occured at 7 P.M. EST.
