How so? Becky, I need you on that zoom call on Wednesday, 00:30 with our distributor Carlos in Mexico, the tax agent Amahle in South Africa, and our ship Captain who’s currently in Malaysia.
No confusion. Everyone knows what time they need to turn on the PC.
No conversions for PC times, no shipping time charts, none of it.
No that makes very easy sense to me lmfao. Maybe you’re just overthinking it?
First off quit using pm and am. It’s a 24:00 hour system. Why are you denoting different days when it starts in one day?
Bank Hours:
Wednesday 2200-0700
Thursday 2200-0700
Friday 2200-0500
Sat sun Closed
Bam, now everyone in the world knows when they’re open. Now I know if I’m road tripping I can stop at the bank without having to think about whether I crossed a time zone.
Seems like you’re just hand-waving the arguments against it, instead of considering what life would be like. There would be virtually no benefit but definite annoyances.

With time zones, if it’s 10am where you are and you need to talk to someone somewhere else in the world, you look up their time zone and see what time it is there, and you know if it’s 3pm that they are probably still at work, and if it’s 1am there then they are sleeping, and so on.
If you don’t have time zones and you just know it’s also 10am there, what do you look up to quickly know whether they are likely working, eating, sleeping in that location? Do you look up when sunset is in that city and then check its latitude and the time of year so you can estimate where they probably are in their day?
You really don’t lol. Again, you’re overthinking it. Everyone has to do that already. I say can we meet at 18:00? No, how about 19:00? Yeah that’s late for me but sure we can make it work.
That’s it. That’s already how it goes lol.
The change isn’t really meant for those parts anyway. It’s for the people who actually keep the world running logistically lol. That’s just the easiest to imagine for most.
Yes that do be how lots of people talk online when you can’t verbalize inflection through text lol.
UTC is essentially what a solar standard time is advocating for. It’s just enshrining it as the defacto time, because it’s superior in every way from local. It’s going to be adopted regardless of what people want in the future.
Reading through the thread with other replies gives numerous examples of how poorly implemented local times absolutely screws over stuff like computer programming requirements. Let alone the fact that we’ve already standardized every other useful measurement in the world through metric in non-imperial countries yet somehow, time shouldn’t be! It’s such a silly anachronistic viewpoint made only difficult by people fearing even the slightest bit of change despite the usefulness for countless others you’ll never meet.

You don’t see an inconvenience living in a place where a restaurant’s hours are
Wed 9pm - Thu 7am
Thu 9pm - Fri 6am
Fri 9pm - Sat 9am
And it seems perfectly fine to have it be ambiguous when you say something is tomorrow if you mean after lunch or after you sleep?
You can’t think of any clerical, banking, or technical inconveniences with having things carry over into the next day in the middle of the day?
No that makes very easy sense to me lmfao. Maybe you’re just overthinking it?

You are definitely underthinking it.
Imagine in another locale store hours:
Mon 23:00 - 10:00 (Tue)
Wed 0:00 - 10:00 (this is the very next day in real time, but since it opens one hour later it’s now entirely in the next day)
Doesn’t seem like it judging by the non-reactionary responses lol.
Hell, we’re going to actually need this system of time once we start spacefaring so we have a solar standard.

Ok now I know you’re just fucking with me lmfao.

Yes… just like it is now lol. You’re telling me you can instantly convert what time 6 p.m. is for Mexico, South Africa, And Malaysia is?
Can you? Congrats, you’ve already done your ‘extra step’ calculation anyway lol.

We already have UTC, and nothing stopping anybody from using it to coordinate global activities.

Their website shows they’re open 1100-1900. So yes lol.
