      Timezones are stupid and using European as the reference is imperialistic. Every clock should be set to the time calibrate where I live.

      As a seafarer who moves through the world, arguing out of timezones is an uphill battle. (Minus the half hour timezone insanity.)

      Daylight savings on the other hand, can be dropped like the smelly turd it is.

        The concept of timezones is fine, we need a way to differentiate when days start so its a bit silly for everyone to go off of UTC or any other clock, how are you going to track the exact date, is half the world just going to go from the 8th to the 9th during their workday

        What can be fixed, is making timezones uniform amd straight lines, not zigzagging abominations where its possible to drive due north and have a time change 8+ times.

      correct. also daylight savings and the 12-hour clock is bullshit. we should at least have Greenwich/UTC as a secondary clock, kinda like how some regions have their own calendar and have the Gregorian calendar as a secondary.
