Whenever I come back to India, it takes a little to adjust to how everything is time shifted by +2-3 hours. Lunch is often close to 2pm, dinner isn't until at least 8pm and bed time is often close to midnight. I wonder why some cultures lean early vs. late.

weather and heat. I've noticied a similiar thing in Somalia. Everything shuts down from midday until noon, and shops are open very early and very late. Its the norm to have a midday nap as well.

Because most work timings are a little late, that throws off the schedule. If you go to villages, their lunch is by 10am and dinner by 6pm.... Mostly.

Isn't this a function of having to work on Europe/US hours?

I would think a combo of better night time weather to socialize in plus a more polychronic culture. I find the former is usually paired with more collectivist cultures...meals were/are social gatherings.

i've noticed this in some other countries too (eg: Brazil, Italy) my pov - if a society has a strong collectivistic/communal fabric (eg: india/brazil), where you get together with friends/relatives/family for meals or any other down time, then u need to bake in extra time for that activity (eg: meal). in fast moving, slightly more individualistic setups, your clock/calendar governs your time vs. other people.

That's normal in Mediterranean too. Lunch around 2-3pm, dinner is around 9pm or later.

I'm curious to know what time zone all the AI bots use. I mean... Our world already revolves around them enough so might as well go all the way
