    Which I think we can all agree is more work than what we currently need to.

    It’s not just one addition, it’s 2 operations following knowing what time midnight is to understand what the solar time it is: what time is it now, minus what time is their midnight, and then you have to add that back to what your midnight is to get a sense of the time. Or you just start thinking in solar time WHICH IS WHAT WE ALREADY DO.

    That’s 2 calculations. Currently we do 0.

    Innately knowing what time means in films, talking to people over the phone, going to a new country. It would be a huge pain in the arse.

    "They met up at 13:00“ great. So where are they in this film? Forcing exposition where currently you might let it be vague.

    People who advocate for one timezone simply haven’t thought it through.

      Ohh the “what time is it in films” argument is good, haven’t heard that one before, thanks
