Sounds good on paper, terrible idea in practice.

Sounds good on paper, terrible idea in practice.
- pezezin 8mo agoNah, it also sounds terrible on paper.
- SpecialistK 8mo agoI'll correct myself: it sounds good for about 5 seconds before you think about it and realize it's an unworkable idea which creates more problems than it solves.
- __s 8mo agoI have all my clocks set to UTC. Works for me
- 1718627440 8mo agoI also did that for some time, I just don't perceived clocks to have a single point that is up and mentally rotated clocks all the time. The hours just lost their meaning beyond their numerical value.
- pezezin 8mo agoGood for you. I am currently living in Japan, and I don't want sunrise to happen at 21:00, noon at 3:00, and sunset at 9:00.
- dirasieb 8mo ago>I don't want sunrise to happen at 21:00, noon at 3:00, and sunset at 9:00 but it will happen regardless of what you think about it, the only choice you have is to pretend it's happening at a "different time" because you assign a different number to it
- pezezin 8mo agoTrue, but I want the numbers assigned to it to have a sensible meaning for us humans. Even if dealing with time zones is annoying, we must remember that computers should serve humans, not the other way around.
- recursive 8mo agoI will readily admit that I'm an idiot, but I've thought about it for literally multiple minutes, and I still love it. It even still seems workable!
