It’s crazy to me how people keep making memes where the group with Florida isn’t a part of the mental illness. Really speaks to the severity of their mental illness.
I'm just better

Florida is really more like a global epicenter of mental illness, unique and distinct, lol. Magnetically attracting the unwell of various stripes, concentrating and uhhh…cultivating that funk, which of course can’t help but radiate outwards, given the frightening densities of “wtf?”
Apparently even tryna think about how to classify the place causes weird distortion effects.

What’s ‘Mountain’? I’ve seen TV shows advertised as Eastern, then their voice gets quiet and they mention Central. Sometimes they do the same for Pacific. Never heard of ‘Mountain.’ Sounds fake.

What’s ‘Mountain’?
It a really big hill that is hard to climb.

there’s only like 8 people there, so it doesn’t really matter.

People on mountain time have mountains to entertain them, so they dont watch tv
CuddlyCassowary@lemmy.world 1 month ago
I’m one of them. At least 3 of us are on Lemmy!

They claim it includes New Mexico, but I don’t see why we’d have a new Mexico when the old one is still perfectly good. Sounds fake to me

Even old New Mexico was once New Amsterdam.

The area that New Mexico occupies was named Nuevo Mexico before Mexico existed and was called Mexico

If you live in Eastern, you’ve heard Central on tv or the radio because it neighbors you and some people in Central might be getting the same broadcast. You’ve heard Pacific because a lot of media is out of LA. There’s nothing important in the Mountain time zone, and it’s far away from you, so you don’t hear about it often.

It’s 245pm in California right now.
If you go to parts of Arizona they might tell you it’s 345pm. Ask in Phoenix and they’ll say 245pm.
Ask in Phoenix in the winter and they remember to say hour different from Pacific time.
They can’t get the story straight.

I guess we don’t have the concept of time in Canada (or Mexico) based on this map. Thats also ignoring all of the other world timezones

Confirmed. I’m in Canada and I’m always late.

The ISS uses UCT but they have a sunrise and sunset every 45 minutes so it’s not really connected to the sun like us terrestrials.
smeg@infosec.pub 1 month ago
It’s a little bizarre that the Netherlands, or especially Spain, are in the time zone centered on basically Berlin. Damn WW2. The sun doesn’t set until nearly 23:00 this time of year, and during winter isn’t up until nearly 08:00.

Sounds pretty normal from a Northern European viewpoint. Is it supposed to be different?

Must be wild living somewhere in the middle of a state right at a time zone border
Specially that eastern Oregon / western Idaho pocket where you gain an hour going far enough north, south, or west lol
PP_BOY_@lemmy.world 1 month ago
I lived within 20 min of the EST and CST split for a couple years. It is wild. Doing anything informal like meeting with friends was fine because we’d just say “come by in 2 hours.” Other times it was awful, leaving home at 7:45pm to go to the grocery store across town and arriving 90 minutes later after they closed sucked lol
impairedimperator@lemmy.zip 1 month ago
Nah. Not really. Time zones don’t follow state boundaries because they generally follow natural population boundaries.
tigeruppercut@lemmy.zip 1 month ago
Even within a time zone things can be odd because of how big they are. Like sunset in the summer in Maine is like 8 but in Michigan it’s 9.

Or, you can do like China and just dictate that everything is one timezone, regardless of longitude.

It would be really weird going to work at 5am instead of 8am, despite the sun being out

If we’re really committed to not going by solar time, everything should be UTC.

Why not? What’s wrong with having a day composed of 1000 chroners, or 1 kilochroner which can be divided into either 10 centichroners or 100 decachroners?
We can even divide each chroner into 1000 millichroners, or for scientific purposes, a million microchroners, a billion nanochroners, or a trillion picochroners.
So much more sense than 60 seconds times 60 minutes times 24 hours. What even is a second, anyway? When was it defined as a constant, by whom, and against what reference? It’s completely arbitrary, I tell you!
And then when you extend that to 7 days, times 4 to 4.43 weeks, times 12 months before you finally get into decimals (decades, centuries, millenia, etc.), it’s insanity!

Actual metric time was a fiasco I’ve always been fascinated by
TigerAce@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 month ago
Yeah, how else would you say “a quarter past eight”, like “15 centimeters past eight”? It makes no sense!
JoMiran@lemmy.ml 1 month ago
UTC isn’t metric time. LOL

I’ve made this argument so many times. It just makes things so much easier when dealing internationally

but I live in EST land so therefore it is the best option

If we’re not going by solar time we should go with TAI. Fuck leap seconds.
