  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.

    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? 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

        You are definitely underthinking it

    Ok but that could be the ass crack of dawn or the middle of the night for some of those people and you have no way of knowing that from your end.

        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 locution? 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?

        I never said I had all the time zones memorized.

        But in order to see if 1600 universal time is a good time for everyone involved you’d need a system of charts telling everyone what time of day each time represents at different points across the world, and just like that you’ve reinvented time zones.

    I feel like if wednesday at 3pm is the same worldwide, Thursday never comes.
