Shifting baselines are the chronic, slow, hard-to-notice changes in things, from the disappearance of birds and frogs in the countryside to the increased drive time from New York to Philadelphia.
If your ideal weight used to be 180 pounds and now it's 195, your baseline -- as well as your waistline -- has shifted. That's an example of shifting baselines.

Fire Service term used to describe one of the three rotating shifts in a fire department work schedule A,B,C. It can apply to either a 24on/48off or a 48on/96off work schedule. B-Shift is universally recognized throughout the North American fire service as the worst shift on the department. It is typically made up of an all star cast of fuck-ups, fucktards,weirdos, and ass bags that have no business being in the fire service. Poor leadership is at the core of this band of derelicts and B-Shift typically has the highest number of 220's in the service. (220 meaning on the dept. 2 min but acting like they have been there 20 years.) B-Shift typically fucks up on a regular basis and cannot follow simple directions. The basis of many department SOP's and SOG's that come out are usually because of one of these incompetent ass clowns. The Benny Hill theme song should be played over the station alerting system in place of tones when these dip shits catch a run. B shifters are well known for constantly complaining and crying about useless bull shit especially with regard to fuel and def in the rig. They love to write in the station log book all the wonderful things they claim to have done during their shift when in reality they just half assed through it or it never happened.
C shifter 1: "Why is there piss all over the floor in front of the urinal and the kitchen floor feels like honey has been spilled all over it?"
C shifter 2: "Fucking B-shift, those dip shits again"
C shifter 2: "Fucking B-shift, those dip shits again"
