Omg, the nightmare of living in a timezone where the date would change in the middle of your day.

  It would change at the same time, midnight, every day. Amount of light might be different, but geez, timezones are silly.

    Day to day, it's still much more convenient having a day definition that is roughly aligned with your waking hours, so that the change of calendar date happens when you're asleep or otherwise don't really care about it. Solar time (even if quantized to a limited number of time zones) roughly achieves that, a single global time zone on the other hand clearly fails at that task (except for the privileged minority living near wherever the meridian ends up).

      Put it at the current date-time boundary, everyone equally unhappy! In all seriousness, I get it. But the tradeoff versus what is available today makes a lot more sense overall.
