Comment on Midnight is a stupid time for the clock to roll over to the next day
Aatube@kbin.melroy.org 2 days ago"early morning of the 3rd" and "before dawn of the 3rd" definitely would not become 00:00—8:00 of the 2nd, and that's all that matters imo for the practical utility of delineating borders between days in the first place

I don’t understand what you mean here, why would “before dawn of the 3rd” become 00:00-08:00 of the 2nd?
I’m saying to shift what 00:00 is, to align with dawn(ish), so that a calendar day is comprised of a contiguous day followed by a contiguous night, which is how we typically intuit about days anyways when we aren’t talking about time.
I know there are practically modern issues with this, but this is a silly post about how unsatisfying it is for the day to start at midnight
