The real answer is, the world should just run on UTC. No timezones. No confusion. When it says 12:00 UTC, it’s the same time everywhere on the planet, regardless of the sun being up or not.
This is only a good idea when you don’t think about it.
That’s like all my ideas. What’s that mean for me?
You’re a visionary and should be made CEO of major tech companies.
This is the dumbest fucking idea I’ve seen yet. Far, far worse than daylight savings time.
End the AM/PM stuff too!
Actually a decent part of the world uses 24h scheme, and it works fine.
While you’re at it, adopt a logic date format.
dd/mm/yyyy makes sense.
yyyy-mm-dd makes sense.
mm/dd/yyyy is an abomination
Digest that, and when you’re ready, we’ll talk about your backward units system…
They kind of do that in China. All parts of China officially use Beijing time, even though the easternmost part is an hour ahead and the westernmost part three hours behind. In Xinjiang, they mostly just ignore it and use local time.
Except when students have national scale exams. In Xinjiang, they start near the end of the night…
oh cool, so in 100 years we’ll all be using beijing time.
Not changing time is good when one travels a lot. If one does not travel much, one single time is hardly useful. However, there are merits to the idea.
I think it would take a bit of getting used to, but I would not be opposed to this.
