I’ll edit my responses here…

A small anecdote here: I read a few days ago that apparently, Alzheimer’s patients get their daily routine and circadian rhythm knocked around by this policy

Edit 2: It’s funny how people are talking about time, as if this were my 2nd post of discussion on why time measurement is bullshit, on my account…

Some memorable replies here:

another point is that it’s probably not great for animals with a strong internal clock

Do not make me get up an hour earlier I will fucking cut you.

On the other hand it is nice the park is open later but have you considered just adequately lighting the park bike paths?

it’s bad and we should commemorate the inventor with a public toilet

Abolish all timezones and move to earth standard time on top of a 13 month calendar.

Thats what you have to look forward to when I’m dictator of the solar system.

I mean I won’t stop you from doing it, but time zones help clear up confusion for me on current regional time… how should I deal with that?

everyone will move to where their sleep cycle matches the time and daylight. people with sleep disorders will receive semi-autonomous zeppelins to fly east or west as necessary to accommodate us.

Also thanks for making this post the time as I just looked at the time in the car before I came in and an hour later looked at the time and it was the same.

You won’t be able to stop me because I’d be the dick tater

Anyway to answer your question everyone would have to tag their time as +3 or -6 or whatever but the actual time would be what UTC is now so we can sync all the computers properly.

You’ll have to fight my duodecimal empire when we abolish the Base-10 system and implement Base-12 like it always should have been.

I can express 1/2, 1/3, and 1/4 super easily. All you pretenders can’t say the same.

If we’re going to go to all the effort of switching to a different number base it should obviously be base 16
