Isn't daylight savings time 8 months of the year? The four "winter" months are when we're on standard time, so seems like it would be pretty easy to ignore DST during those 4 months. Or maybe I am misinterpreting?

When working with a flexible schedule I do this too. Having your own timezone can be convinient.

This is the level of not giving a damn I want to reach.

You laugh but there's a thing called "farm time" that's exactly this and has been a thing in the rural Midwest in various places. I remember visiting my grandmother in Indiana as a kid and they had it there out in the middle of fuck-off nowhere.

Depending on how long ago you were a kid, that could've just been because Indiana as a state didn't start observing DST until 2006, rural or not
