I would have agreed with you a couple of weeks ago, but this video explains it well. It wouldn’t be such a well known fallacy if it wasn’t so counterintuitive.

I’m not entirely sure that horse riding is more dangerous, I’m not that experienced with motorbikes, but I ride horses all the time, I reckon you might fall from a horse more often, but it’s usually a fairly simple thing, not going too fast or anything. Unless you’re talking about horse racing which is quite dangerous, but most riders do other, much safer thing on horseback.
That said, I live in rural Ireland where from what I understand, the roads are significantly more dangerous for motorbikes do that might be skewing my perspective.

And my personal favourite: Lá breá ag do chairde, dod adhlacadh May your friends have a fine day, burying you
I think the point is that people’s routine isn’t tied to sunrise. For example, in the summertime I start work about 4 hours after sunrise, and in the winter I start work 20mins after sunrise. The difference would actually be more dramatic without daylight savings With timezones and modern internet you don’t need to look up the offset at all, you just look up the current time in that zone and decide if that’s an appropriate time to call. Speaking as someone who deals with timezones a fair bit, both in work and personal life. And as someone who understands the headache of dealing with them in international computer systems, the time zone system is a very nice compromise. Though daylight savings need to die
