Time zones 2

[thspfc]

I've always wondered what it's like to live near the border of two time zones. Must be a mind-bending expierence.

It should always be 5 o'clock everywhere.

Wasn't there some actual legitimate argument in one of the DST threads regarding having one single standard time?

People and institutions that need there to be One Standard Time are already using UTC.  Astronomers, military, airlines, computer communication networks that operate worldwide.

Souky should go to +1-1/2 (half-hour past CET).

Souky is in Mountain Time Zone (-7).

I don't care what time zone it is currently in. I am proposing it changes to a half-hour past Central European Time.

[Roadgeekteen]

The whole world should use EST because I live there and all the important US cities that people care about are there.

[kirbykart]

The whole world should use Nepal's time zone.

[Roadgeekteen]

The whole world should use Nepal's time zone.

The whole world should use Alanland's time zone.

Souky should go to +1-1/2 (half-hour past CET).

Souky is in Mountain Time Zone (-7).

I invade Souky and change the time zone to -4⅔.

I rolled a 19 for initiative, by the way.

Does Souky use the same time zone as Alanland?

it is always 12.43 in Alanland.

Sorry to burst your goat bubble, but I'm on Rocky Mountain Standard Elk Time.

The world should have no time. The order and frequency at which events occur are now meaningless. Our existence will just blur into one continuous stream of consciousness, the only guiding indicator being day and night.....

OK, I guess you are not planning for breakfast and lunch tomorrow?

The world should have time, but every human should be able to determine their own time. This ensures that every human lives on a time frame that they are comfortable with.

You can also stop time by lagging the server greatly – or by simply stepping out of bounds.

Well, I am. But I'll eat when I'm hungry, not when I see the clock and think "Oh boy, it's time for dinner!" Which most people should be doing already IMO.

A much better excuse for being late to work than "stuck in traffic".

I can't find my old post, so here goes the story again. 

When I was working on a railroad project on the former Baltimore & Ohio in western Illinois, the territory supervisor worked out of Washington, Indiana and lived in Vincennes.  Often, I would stay in Vincennes so as to commute to the project together (about a 2-hour drive).  Railroaders are expected to arrive at work before 7:00AM and railroad time splits in Little Washington (Cincinnati time to the east and St. Louis time to the west).  Of course, that doesn't fit perfectly with Indiana time and Illinois.  When I started the project, Vincennes was on Eastern Standard Time and as such, I needed to get up about 4:00AM CST (5:00AM EST in Vincennes time) to get breakfast and arrive at the project before 0700 StLST.  But when Daylight Savings Time hit, Indiana didn't change.  But the railroad didn't care, because that's not Cincinnati time.  So once again, I would need to get up about 4:00AM CDT to get breakfast and arrive at the project before 07:00 StLDT.  And although 4:00AM CDT was still 0500 CinDT, it was also 4:00AM Vincennes time (4:00AM EST).    I literally needed two watches to figure this one out.

Similar to Dirt Roads above, my wife's family mostly lived in SW Michigan, but her aunt lived in Fort Wayne. Part of the year they were on the same time, but in summer they were different because IN didn't do DST. So when they planned the summer family picnic at her uncle's pool, they had to specify "Michigan time".

I lived in Indiana in the late 1970s.  I still don't know how we managed to live in a place where you never knew what time it was, with the crazy combinations of who recognized DST and where the time zone line was.

The Senate passed a bill getting rid of it but the House didn't pass it.

This thread must now fall back.

[SSOWorld]

Reopening - Keep the DST stuff civil, We know it's a debate that has no clear winner.

My point was rather more nuanced (and, arguably, pedantic) than that.
