China won’t play along. All time is the same time in China.

why not have a single global timezone and people change their local numbers.
e.g. if you life in hawaii you stand up at 11pm and if people in russia work until 8am.

It already exists and is called UTC. I worked in an office that provided “follow the Sun” technical support, we had offices in France, Germany, Washington, New York, Australia, and everything ran on UTC time. Much easier to coordinate meetings and shift handovers. Took a while to learn to think in UTC time as well as local time, though.

Would be cool to just dismiss local time, as well

Florida panhandle should just succumb to eastern time for logistics sake imo

I had this great idea last night on the piss.
Less to do with time zones and more aimed at daylight savings since I live near the equator and we don’t have it but I want to move to the cold but waking up and going to work dark and finishing work in the dark shits me.
My solution, rather then move the time we speed up the time so we start work at sunrise and end the day with 2 hours of light left.
Sure it will suck when the sun sets at 9pm but it means short work days when it sets early

Where I live, that would mean tomorrow I’d work over 14 hours.
Even if we adjust it so it’s 1 hour of sunlight before work* and 3 hours after (for an 8-hour day on average), I’d work 12 hours tomorrow, but only 4 hours in December. No thanks!
*For health, sunlight is most important for waking up, so 1 hour of sunlight before work gives just 1 hour to wake up and get to work. Anything less is sacrificing health for evening sunlight.)
Edit: It would probably be good for SAD in the winter, though, encouraging people to be outside during the daylight hours instead of at work. I could get on board with reduced work hours in winter. ;)
