🏳️⚧️ I am whole. You cannot redefine who I am.
It would definitely remove the concept of noon being around when the sun is at its zenith in the sky. I think we kind of have a shared idea of what a waking day is, so from that perspective this change is a terrible idea.
I actually think it would be kinda cool in a way to have people have different relationships with what “time” or “day” it is. I’m looking at it very optimistically when I say that though.
I mean, that’s already kind of an issue in the sense of determining what day something happened when using a timezone.
I think timezones help give a sense of shared “day” in the sense of when the sun is roughly meant to rise and set. I also think we’re super used to them and I don’t expect my opinion to change our relationship with time.
That said, timezones are wildly inconsistent and often difficult to track. This goes doubly for places that practice daylight savings of some kind. I like the simplicity of ideas like UTC and stuff.
To a degree, yeah, but timezone-aware times are the overwhelming norm for most people. I’ve had to work through timezones a lot when planning with online friends and stuff outside of a planner or something to do the conversion for me. I’d be cool with everyone using UTC though.
I’m not actually advocating for this. I just hate dealing with timezones. 🤷♀️
I’m sorry I’m trying to start a fight? How did you interpret my comment that way?
Part of me wishes we didn’t have timezones at all. Like normalizing the idea that some places have mornings at 22:00 and others have it at 07:00. Would definitely make my life easier not dealing with timezones anymore.
EDIT: I want to be clear, this is me pining for a world where any date or time is aligned without the need for conversion. It’s impractical, skips the caveats that timezones help fix, and it’s not really how we, as humans, think of or experience time in a day. Some of y’all really jumped on this, but it’s not a serious suggestion. I do really appreciate the thought experiment and interesting discussion of it though!

CYA! Sorry I was too uppity for you or whatever.
So if Ukrainians said that Russians suck, are you gonna jump in to defend Russians? What if Palestinians said that Israeli people suck, are you going to chide them?
If so, then you just want those suffering to suffer quietly, or to suffer “the right way”. God forbid they express disdain for the groups oppressing them.

In my experience, cis people are the only ones erasing us and trying to pass laws and rhetoric that kills us. Sorry it’s not easy to “nuance” a voice of frustration around that. Cis people honestly kinda suck. Looking forward to another tone police reply.
