Yeah but somewhere between 87-90% of the population is in the northern hemisphere so for the vast majority December - March = Winter
Comment on Why don't we have one timezone covering the whole earth?
prettybunnys@sh.itjust.works 1 year agoKinda like half the world knows December - March as winter but the other half knows of it as Summer

Months and seasons are much simpler because it’s always a 6 month offset rather than anywhere between 1-24 hours depending on location. It also doesn’t affect scheduling as much. If you’re interacting with someone on the other hemisphere, the outside weather generally doesn’t affect your decision in any meaningful way.
