- Terretta 6y agoWell, I want it closer to 1 than to 12. It’d be weird for 1 PM to be less directly overhead of a sun than 11:30 AM. // Pure opinion, formed living in southern U.S., northern Europe, and equatorial Africa. But ... I could get over it.
- mac01021 6y agoSo you want "midnight" to refer to "approximately one hour from the middle of the night".
- Dylan16807 6y agoCloser to 12:30 or slightly later on average, I think. But since it's a range at least an hour wide it's more like: the middle of the day/night will be as close to 12:00 as possible, but no earlier, anywhere the timezone reasonably fits.
- runarberg 6y agoAs someone who grew up in a permanent DST (true noon closer to 13:30 on average) north of 60° I can tell you that you probably wouldn’t want to be a teenager forced to wake up 3-4 hours before sunrise in large part of the winter. Health experts from said country don’t want that either for the general population and have advised the government to move to a permanent standard time instead, an advice which the government has since chosen to ignore.
