Off Topic - Why don't we use the same 24 hour clock globally? - Forum

Your body would end up confused if you "randomly" fall in an inefficient time part.(night being 9 clock in the morning or some random stuff) Time is a man made concept, it's best to keep it aligned with the flow of nature instead of detaching it from that.

Just make these 2 changes to the world and everything will be a lot easier. Anytime anything mentions a timezone they must also mention the UTC/GMT equivalent value so that you don't have to figure out what UTC/GMT value every 3 & 4 letter abbreviation stands for (I only know AEST and AEDT). 12AM and 12PM should be made clearer to understand when it refers to. For example, 12D(ay) and 12M(idnight).

This is what I’ve been saying. I started to adopt the 24h clock, but nobody else uses it so it was useless and impractical. The problem is, you have to get enough people to start using it all at once. Devolving Wilds Land “T, Sacrifice Devolving Wilds: Search your library for a basic land card and reveal it.

We schedule our activities not around a "clock", but around the progression of the day. True, clocks help us to be more exact, but our activities are, by and large, still centered around the progression of the day, from morning to evening and back again. A relative time-zone works extremely well for helping to provide local precision.	Posted by Morkonan on Mar 5, 2018, 1:28:43 PM Quote this Post

How the hell can you know is it 9 in the morning or 9 in the evening? Thats what looks weird to me, why did they choose this type of clock design? Why not making it so that one day is represented by ONE 360 degrees cycle on the clock? And why such weird numbers - 24 hours, 60 minutes? Wouldn't 10 hours a day and 100 minutes an hour look better and clearer? Because Western civilization was based on Christendom and there weren't 24 disciples.
