the inverse of timezones.
It really seems like you're just describing time zones. Or do you mean that we should be even more granular about it and have personal timezones that adjust depending on where we are on the globe? That just seems like timezones with extra steps
nope, i'm describing timezones, but instead of shifting time, we shift local solar time instead.
You could call them timemaps or time offset mapping, on a more macro scale.
This is the same fucking thing. It is simultaneously 12:25am MDT and 6:25am GMT where I live. If you ask my computer what time it is, it knows it is 06:25:00-06:00.
Two sides of the same coin buddy.
yes, except it's not the only time system we use, the primary time system we use is universal now.
How stoned are you right now
zero
Damn me neither
damn, same.
Can you give me an example with an example time and how 2 people in different countries would organise a meeting?
yeah, it's 12 00 in america, it's 12 00 literally anywhere else in the world, you show up at 12 and that's when the meeting happens.
So what are these offset's you mentioned? They are not used?
they're used less frequently than timezones are now. Because the offsets only purpose is to show to explicit time of the local solar time, anywhere in the world. relative to your local solar time (which is not very useful.)
Your proposal is exactly how time is used at my work. All meetings are in GMT. You use the timezone time when thinking locally. Instead of everyone using GMT and timezones already, why should we introduce a while new concept?
you say you already use this at work, but then say it's an entirely new concept. I don't think you've quite comprehended this properly.
We are literally already doing it, there is no reason not to switch to it.
We are using GMT + timezones. You are the one who opposed timezones and said you have a different approach. But yours is exactly like timezones. My question is that why should anyone switch to something "like" timezones when there are actual timezones?
