I’ll do you one better. Sun rises at 6:30am for all time zones. Vast majority of clocks are digital now and can simply autocorrect at 3am each time zone.

This is the rarely-expressed exact opposite of DST abolition: literally do micro-DST every single day to keep local time adjusted to sunrise (though I would just do sunrise = 0:00). I actually... kinda respect it?

Some precedent in ancient chinese timekeeping:

using wikipedia as a reference is the old school and safe thing. using chatgpt screenshots as a reference is the new thing we're supposed to be acting grumpy against now 😀

we should really stop or rarely be using wikipedia as a reference. call me old school. lmao!!!!

This works for me too!

First step is making UTC the unambiguous standard for scheduling online events and calls. No more of this "let's have a call at 17:30 PST / 04:30 your time" nonsense. Everyone only needs to remember one fact - how many hours ahead/behind of UTC they are - and it all works.

Then go from there.

What if we went radically the other direction and simply got used to the sun being at different positions everywhere on earth at different times?

It’s not like a majority still winds their watch and syncs it up with the village clock tower while walking to lunch from work anymore

We could just make UTC global

I like this kind of thinking. But this breaks badly at northern latitudes. Also wreaks havoc on meeting scheduling with other time zones

This is the way. I want to start my day when the sun comes up. Dark outside morning routine is depressing.

Good for health, not optimal for business. I wonder which we'll choose.

You totally disregarded places on Earth that have no sunrise. In my place, we have sun whole day at summer, and no sun at all in winter.

This gets tricky because sunrise is impacted greatly by altitude and horizon obstacles. Better to set noon to solar noon/zenith all the time

If we’re gonna talk calendars, I’ve always been a fan of the idea for 13 months, each with 28 days, and one day ‘out of time’, then every 4 years two days ‘out of time’.

That way in year X the 1st of the month will always be a Wednesday. I also like the idea of new years being an ‘outside of time’
