Are you suggesting that this is a world without the internet or international television programs? He’s going to know that hours are different everywhere, especially if he has friends in other regions.
That why this “make everyones time the same” is about as smart as an idea as shoving Lego up your nose.
Only because the current way is the one you know. In this alternate universe where the whole world has always been on UTC and someone posted a question on Lemmy asking why the whole planet isn’t divided up into 1-hour offsets with their own times, that universe’s version of you would be just as irrationally angry with that universe’s version of me for daring to suggest that the time zone idea is no less irrational than the UTC idea.
I can’t believe you’re being serious. Literally, I have a hard time believing you aren’t pretending to be that simple.
Only because the current way is the one you know. In this alternate universe where the whole world has always been on UTC
You don’t understand time zones or geopolitical history either it seems, and you’re imaging people from thousands of years ago to have a concept of universality. I can’t thank you enough for the roaring belly laughs I’ve gotten from reading your brain farts.
You’re not proposing a single improvement, you’re making the system actively much much much shittier
planet isn’t divided up into 1-hour offsets with their own times, that universe’s version
Except it is, because that’s how hours work. You probably don’t know where they come from either
I know it seems to you like you’re making sense, but you’re not, because you’re ignorant of so many assumptions you’ve made, which if changed, would be like giving ancient Romans the GPS instead of them using sundials and that said Romans would’ve magically been able to consider that theyre noon is two hours after “the real” noon, which is based on…?
You’re assuming an awful lot about me based on complete ignorance and using those assumptions to justify a really bizarre level of abuse.
You don’t understand time zones or geopolitical history either it seems, and you’re imaging people from thousands of years ago to have a concept of universality.
I’m not. That’s literally the premise of the idea proposed here. The fact that you don’t get that is really making me question your reading comprehension abilities.
You’re not proposing a single improvement,
Correct. I’m not. As I’ve noted several times now, I’m not proposing anything. I’m just pointing out that we have a significant bias toward the system we already know.
Except it is, because that’s how hours work. You probably don’t know where they come from either
Yeah, they were chosen more or less arbitrarily by the ancient Egyptians because there were twelve significant constellations they followed, which led to a sort of base-12 number system they used for stuff related to the sky (months and hours in particular).
Again, units and numbers have no inherent meaning. We made it all up. A day could just as easily have had ten hours of 144 minutes each, or 40 hours of 36 minutes each.
I know it seems to you like you’re making sense, but you’re not…
The fact that you don’t understand what I’m saying doesn’t mean that I’m not making sense. And I think there’s ample evidence here that you’re just not reading carefully.
…because you’re ignorant of so many assumptions you’ve made, which if changed, would be like giving ancient Romans the GPS instead of them using sundials and that said Romans would’ve magically been able to consider that theyre noon is two hours after “the real” noon, which is based on…?
Ok. Deciphering your word salad here, I think you’re trying to suggest that our current 24-hour day and time zones were somehow inevitable? Which…I mean, obviously they aren’t, since there are many cultures that independently came up with different time systems.
There’s a Hindi clock that divides the day into thirty hours. Roman timekeeping was divided into 12 hours, but that time was measured from sunrise to sunset. Byzantine time uses the same division of days into 24 hours, but starts a day at sunset, meaning that the start of a day changes within the same city throughout the year. France even tried decimal time for a while, where each day has ten hours, each hour has 100 minutes, and each minute has 100 seconds. All of these systems arose from different starting conditions, none of which were “giving Romans GPS” (they already knew the Earth was round) and none of which caused any problems with users going to sleep at different times of day.
The thought experiment here isn’t “how could this have happened given existing conditions?” or even “what conditions could have brought this about?” but rather “assuming a world where some set of conditions brought about a true worldwide UTC without offsets, what would it look like to the users of that system?”
And this is what you’ve decided merits abusive behavior. Can’t imagine what you’re like about stuff that actually matters.
assuming an awful lot about me based on complete ignorance and
Oh another one of “me saying things doesn’t mean anything, you can’t deduce I meant something just because I said it!”
I’m not.
Youare.
have a significant bias toward the system we already know.
No, you’re pretending to be a pseudointellectuel while missing the actual issues shoved down your face, because you lack understanding and your ego is 3 sizes too big for your skills
Yeah, they were chosen more or less arbitrarily by the ancient Egyptians because there were twelve significant constellations they followed, which led to a sort of base-12 number system they used for stuff related to the sky (months and hours in particular).
Exactly like I said. A pretentious pseudointellectuel and I’m not gonna teach you history. Do some desperate googling and then become ashamed
Again, units and numbers have no inherent meaning
Again, they literally have INHERENT meaning.
Send me your address I’ll order you a dictionary
And I think there’s ample evidence here that you’re just not reading carefully
“But but you’re laughing at my rhetoric so you can’t have read it”
Zzzz
24-hour day and time zones were somehow inevitable
By what fucking logic? You talk to me of reading comprehension :D
You don’t understand the fundamental flaw in the system, but like I said, I’m not gonna be lecturing you, I’d rather watch you make a moron of yourself and maybe, maybe point out later what I’m talking about.

You talk to me of word salad while you’re some pseudointellectual 14-year old twerp repeating these sad sixth grade history facts as some unbelievably arcane knowledge while not understanding the fundamental flaw in the whole system.
Oh another one of “me saying things doesn’t mean anything, you can’t deduce I meant something just because I said it!”
No, it’s “you can’t just unilaterally decide that I actually mean the opposite of what I’m saying.”
I’m not.
Youare.
Oh, for real? Well, if you’ve already decided what I mean, then by all means, don’t let me distract you with reality.
you’re pretending to be a pseudointellectuel
No, I’m definitely a pseudointellectual.
while missing the actual issues shoved down your face, because you lack understanding and your ego is 3 sizes too big for your skills
I have yet to see you actually respond to the points I’ve actually made, only points you think I’ve made, so I’m not sure how you have enough data to determine that I “lack understanding.”
Exactly like I said. A pretentious pseudointellectuel and I’m not gonna teach you history. Do some desperate googling and then become ashamed
I don’t know what to tell you, bro. We have twelve hours because the ancient Egyptians liked the stars. That’s just reality. I’d love to hear why you think it is, though.
Again, units and numbers have no inherent meaning
Again, they literally have INHERENT meaning.
Send me your address I’ll order you a dictionary
Before you send it, I recommend you look up the word “context.”
You don’t understand the fundamental flaw in the system, but like I said, I’m not gonna be lecturing you, I’d rather watch you make a moron of yourself and maybe, maybe point out later what I’m talking about.
So, again, no actual argument, you’re just hoping to keep this going for long enough to come up with one.
You talk to me of word salad while you’re some pseudointellectual 14-year old twerp repeating these sad sixth grade history facts as some unbelievably arcane knowledge while not understanding the fundamental flaw in the whole system.
I didn’t think there’s anything arcane about something that can be easily found in a history book. But thanks for assuming I’m 14, that’s very kind of you. I haven’t been assumed to be that young in a long, long time.
You know, just because your short term memory is only ten seconds long, there’s no need to rewrite the whole conversation everytime.
Or did you never develop object permanence and you literally can’t answer a thing if it’s not under your eyes, because you’ll forget it exists?
No, it’s “you can’t just unilaterally decide that I actually mean the opposite of what I’m saying.”
When you’re saying hot is cold and up is down, I haven’t decided that your words mean the opposite. You’re just wrong.
Noon, midday or the number of hours is anything but arbitrary. You being ignorant of the reason doesn’t make you right, it makes you ignorant. Notice anything about the divisibility of the numbers? No…? Oh right, you’re probably American, so that’s probably offensive to ask you about your maths skills. Apologies, I do understand your country is going through a tough time.
I don’t decide the meaning of your words. The world sort of does.
I don’t know what to tell you, bro. We have twelve hours because the ancient Egyptians liked the stars. That’s just reality. I’d love to hear why you think it is, though.
Like I said, I’m not your history teacher, and you are just completely ignorant of the subject. You have to know how dumb you are though, but your ego just keeps ripping right through.
See I could teach you. Then you’d pretend you knew it all the time. You’re just a pseudointellectual lazy piece of shit who doesn’t know the first thing about the subject and didn’t even click “timekeeping in other cultures” when he did his pathetic Wikipedia browsing. Which is exactly why you insist on your silly kittle ignorance.
You’re plain wrong. I will tell you eventually how badly, but now I’m just gonna sip on your dumb juice. So sweet.
Oh I haven’t argued you at any point, and would never. I’d have an easier time teaching a dog to whistle, lol.
You know, just because your short term memory is only ten seconds long, there’s no need to rewrite the whole conversation everytime.
Because of your stubborn refusal to actually read anything I’ve written, I copy it back down in hopes that you’ll see your own words and actually continue reading beyond the end of the quote. Though, admittedly, it’s not going well at the moment.
Noon, midday or the number of hours is anything but arbitrary.
Noon is not, correct. Midday is not, correct. But while the fact that we’ve assigned any particular celestial event a number is more logical than a horoscope, it’s no less arbitrary. Are you truly suggesting that our lives would be significantly different if we all grew up in a world where a new day began at noon, and so we called noon 0000? Or if we began a new day when most people woke up, and so we indexed noon at 0600 so that people could wake up at 0000?
Yes, you going into that world from this one would be startled (or, judging by your tone here, deeply offended), but any version of you that grew up in that world would think it very normal and logical.
You being ignorant of the reason doesn’t make you right, it makes you ignorant.
Interesting. Because I’ve given actual facts here proving me correct about the reason for these things, but you continue to assert that I’m wrong and there’s definitely a reason (even though you won’t say what it is).
Notice anything about the divisibility of the numbers? No…?
You mean the fact that 12 is divisible by 2, 3, 4, and 6? That is a nifty coincidence, isn’t it? Definitely super useful. Good thing the Egyptians liked twelve constellations, huh? But it wasn’t in any way intentional. Might be why it caught on, though.
Apologies, I do understand your country is going through a tough time.
Thank you, I appreciate it. It, uh…it’s not great over here.
Like I said, I’m not your history teacher, and you are just completely ignorant of the subject. You have to know how dumb you are though, but your ego just keeps ripping right through.
Egyptians liked the stars and thought those 12 constellations were important, so they divided up the night into that many hours. Just like I said.
See I could teach you. Then you’d pretend you knew it all the time.
I probably wouldn’t need to pretend, since you’re pathologically resistant to actually reading what I write. In fact, you’re probably going to reply to me about how “no, you idiot, it’s because the Egyptians thought that a particular set of 12 constellations were important!” next, aren’t you?
See, you keep on asserting your intelligence and telling me I’m wrong, but then just leaving the assertion there by itself and telling me to do my own research. It’s not my job to prove your point for you, though. That’s up to you.
You’re just a pseudointellectual
I believe I already answered that assertion in the affirmative, yes.
and didn’t even click “timekeeping in other cultures” when he did his pathetic Wikipedia browsing.
Actually I did click that one just now! and it proves that whole thing I said in some other comment about how other cultures have different timekeeping systems which means that it’s not inherent and is actually totally arbitrary! But since you didn’t read that, I guess I shouldn’t be surprised that you didn’t know.
Which is exactly why you insist on your silly kittle ignorance.
Here’s a dramatic paraphrase of our interaction so far.
Me: “I mean, A isn’t any more or less logical than B.”
You: “YOUR AN IDIOT A IS OBVIOUSLY MORE LOGICAL THAN B OMG YOU SHOULD BE SHOT”
Me: “What? That’s a strange amount of rage for something so mild, but what reason do you have for your opinion?”
You: “LOL NO IM NOT MAD UR JUST TRIGGERED IDIOT. A IS OBVIOUSLY MORE LOGICAL THAN B AND I DONT NEED TO TELL YOU MY REASON BECAUSE YOUR SO DUMB YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO FIGURE IT OUT YOURSELF STUPIDHEAD. OMG YOUR SO MAD AND TRIGGERED LOLOLOLOL”
Me: “That…isn’t actually a reason? See, here are a couple of reasons.”
You: “SEE YOU DONT HAVE ANY REASONS AT ALL LOLOL TRIGGERED, A IS OBVIOUSLY MORE LOGICAL THAN B”
Me: “What? I just gave you reasons, did you not even see them? Here, have some more. And why do you keep yelling the same thing over and over again?”
You: “KEK YOU ARE IGNORANT, A IS OBVIOUSLY MORE LOGICAL THAN B, U DONT KNOW ANYTHING, DONT HAVE ANY REASONS LOLOLOL”
Me: “…blink twice if you’re in danger, bro.”
You’re plain wrong. I will tell you eventually how badly, but now I’m just gonna sip on your dumb juice. So sweet.
Ok, this is going to sound like an insult, but it’s actually an honest question: are you literally a pre-teen? Because all this time I had been assuming you’re an adult, but if I’m dealing with a child I should probably recalibrate my expectations. It would certainly explain your ludicrous position, your bizarre rage disguised under the laughter, and the phrase “dumb juice.”
You keep writing essays because you’re too fucking ashamed to admit you didn’t understand what the word arbitrary means.
Remember how I’ve said, several times, that even your argument about 12, 24, 30 or 100 hour systems being “arbitrary” is wrong? Why not include that in your essay? Is it because you’re ashamed of having been wrong, because you like to pretend to understand shit and pretend to be smart. Because online, there’s no-one to mock you for it. Or, so you thought. ;>
You get angry because I refuse to give you the answers and the only place someone with your intelligence will look is fkin Wikipedia. The timekeeping in my culture isn’t even mentioned there.
How many language did you speak again? ;>
I’ll get back to you on your other pathetic essay tomorrow, just woke up to pee.
any particular celestial event a number is more logical than a horoscope, it’s no less arbitrary
Again, just because you don’t know the reason for a thing doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist, sweetums.
Oh no, you think you’ve “given facts”, just like a child playing at kitchen with mudcakes has “actually cooked”.
No [I don’t notice anything about the divisibility of hours]…?
Again, just because YOU personally fail to see logic in something doesn’t mean it doesn’t have any. And it’s just driving you mental having me not tell you the answers so you can pretend to have known all the time.
The fact you’re writing every one of my “replies” as if I’m yelling it’s just candy to my eyes, because it tells me you’re fucking seething at me mocking you. Cheers bruv. <3
No he hasn’t. Never moved a or traveled outside his own city.

Thank you, I appreciate it. It, uh…it’s not great over here.
I just went to look it up and see if I’d somehow misremembered from the books I read a while back when I was hyperfocused on the subject. But lookie there! “In ancient Egypt the flooding of the Nile was, and still is, an important annual event, crucial for agriculture. It was accompanied by the rise of Sirius before the sunrise, and the appearance of 12 constellations across the night sky, to which the Egyptians assigned some significance. Influenced by this, the Egyptians divided the night into 12 equal intervals. These were seasonal hours, shorter in the summer than in the winter. Subsequently, the day was divided into intervals as well, which eventually became more important than the nightly intervals. These subdivisions of a day spread to Greece, and later to Rome.” (emphasis mine)
Egyptians liked the stars and thought those 12 constellations were important, so they divided up the night into that many hours. Just like I said.
I probably wouldn’t need to pretend, since you’re pathologically resistant to actually reading what I write. In fact, you’re probably going to reply to me about how “no, you idiot, it’s because the Egyptians thought that a particular set of 12 constellations were important!” next, aren’t you?
