Why is having fewer time zones a good thing?
Wouldn't this actually be confusing, because things would have to be happening at different local times depending on where you are in the time zone?
- eloisant 3y agoThis is already the case, timezones have weird shapes and some of them are huge. In Europe and China you have timezones spanning over 3 "sun" timezones. In practice that means the sun rising and setting at different times. People are used to have the sun setting late or rising early depending where they live.
- s0teri0s 3y agoI wasn't really advocating for it, I just think if we were crazy enough to adopt this time system, 10 time zones would also be a necessary adjustment.
- JR1427 3y agoAh, I see. That makes sense! Although not all timezones are +/- an integer number of hours.
