DUMBST was first invented in China as far back as 1994. This was back before fireworks were invented (they had those lame things that shot up into the air and exploded in colorful sparks, but they didn't have REAL fireworks, like the ones that will EXPLODE). DUMBST was made because some guy wanted to confuse people, so he invented this to do it. But China didn't adopt this time zone, so he got mad ans stormed off. DUMBST is considered one of the stupidest ideas ever, even stupider than SOPA, which is REALLY stupid.
