do you WANT to have to add 2:48 hours to figure out what time it is for your internet friends
whart
Why would I need to do that /genq
i mean ðat’s what it’d be like if ðere was one timezone per country
How? Aren’t there like 7 countries just divide it into 7
knight
ðose are continents
ðere’s like almost 200 countries
ohhhhh so my school teacher DIDN’T say condiments..
Well. uh
What if timezones were one continent per?
well ðen ðere would be places where 8 am is at midday, or dawn is at 12 pm
No…? It would just be one time per continent
okay look.
here’s a (badly drawn) map of asia.
and here’s how it’s split in timezones. (did i explain it well…?)
what are those arrows for
You probably explained it well I just don’t understand, if there was one timezone per continent I think that would make it a lot easier.
So like, at 12 AM it would be the middle of the night in the entire continent at the same time instead of having multiple 12 AMs at different times in the same continent
Actually now that I think about it it would be even better if the whole world had the same timezone why don’t they do that already??
oh right sorry, ðose are supposed to be sun rays “[^^] i forgot to write it
but. okay let’s say we take ðe timezone in ðe middle for ðe entire asian continent.
ðis ↓ would be ðe situation at 12 am, "asian time”. (note: yellow arrows still represent sun rays)
so okay, no issue here.
but at 12 pm “asian time”, instead…
yeah, ðis would be a problem.
But there’s no need to do that if you just separate the timezones?? bc then each continent will have its own time
asia is a single continent (and it’s fucking huge)
Yeah but if it was 12AM in all of Asia it would be dark because it’s 12AM
._. what
Whats so confusing about that? /genq
Like let’s say it’s 7PM, it’s starting to get dark
If it was 7PM in all of Asia it would be starting to get dark in all of Asia
.
is ðis a joke /gen
no? Why would it be
uhm. well tl;dr
we can’t change how ðe earþ spins
How is the earth spinning relevant, it’s the timezones that determine what time it is and where
We should abolish timezones and use universal standard time for everything
That would make things much simpler, no more conversion
