  • 12 is at suns zenith, done.

    If we want to adjust our working hours, we can do that, no need to change the clock itself.

      Not only is Zenith at a different time every few kilometers but also during the year, that means you say goodbye to 24h days and to a unified time across multiple countries.

      • Sure, well just solve this problems how we have already solved it. Something along the lines of a mean or median value.

          So it’s not “12 is at suns zenith”, it’s just normal time instead of offset time. Got it.

          • oh come on, thats a nitpick if I ever saw one.

            We’re generally discussing two alternatives: noon att zenith(ish) vs noon at zenith(ish) - 1hour

    • Yep, people have very strict opinions on this. All sides are like - it’s simple, no need for discussions, just do it the way I see it. The possibility of not changing the time twice a year is not enough for most people to be ok with ending up with a time system they don’t like. The emotions are too intensive. That’s why previous attempts failed and we’re stuck with this nonsense.
