Ok. It is 1430 Universal Time in Düsseldorf. Is now an appropriate time to call Bucharest during business hours?

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.

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

Your system provides no additional context and you still needed an outside source to validate that claim.

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 enshrinkmg 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.

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