Comment on xkcd #2846: Daylight Saving Choice
SnipingNinja@slrpnk.net 1 year agoI apologise as I too am drawing a blank, but apparently it’ll be more conducive to time zone removal according to ChatGPT.
Also metric time gives 10 hours of 100 minutes each in a day, not 20 hours of 50 minutes.

that's another option, but we're used to having 12-16 hours of daylight, having that fall to 5-6 would be a much bigger shock than 10-12.
not to mention having every hour last the equivalent of 144 current minutes would make the hours really drag on.

Yeah, but so will the ordinal date calendar with no months, and the shorter seconds but longer minutes. I don’t think the discomfort is an argument that’s entirely valid here, the transition of course shouldn’t be abrupt but the end goal should be the ideal version, that we should aim for and not the midway steps.
