Man I wish we could get rid of timezones. I know its psychologically impossible for humans to adapt to it but timezones really haven't made sense since clocks became a thing.

- kalium-xyz 5y agoThis person has clearly never worked remote for an Australian company from western Europe. I've had quite a lot of quite bad misconceptions and missed meetings. Not only was it utter hell and confusion WITH TIMEZONES it ended up making for conversations / scenarios worse if not similar to what described here. Australia doesn't even share the same notion of when a week starts as we do.
- dijit 5y agoI guess it’s some form of nation-centricism that kills it. No country wants to change their dinner time to be 3am. Even if it’s just the number on the clock. I find it super odd that we keep a record in of all the offsets of time and assume that everyone starts/finishes work and eats at the same regular interval as everyone else would given that the numbers on their local clock says the same as our local clock when we do those things. So arbitrary.
