I feel that this is what we should be using instead of the current illogical time system.

    What’s the point?

    We have UTC/GMT my dudes. Just count times by that and boom, no time zones. You can even remove a colon, meaning you just end up with 4 numbers, like 1700 for 17:00 UTC (5pm Greenwich time)

      I tried to have a discussion about this on reddit about how everyone should just use utc and he called me a lunatic because his working day would start at 3am instead of 8am, completely misunderstanding that utc 3am would be a different time to his current 3am and he just could not get his little head around it.

        I’ve said this all my life and I can’t wait for the day we all shift to a single tike zone. While we’re on the topic, we also need to change a few more things - single global currency, zero customs duties, no passports, and the metric system with a single kind of 240v electrical socket/plug (my own preference being the UK plugs).

          UK plugs are great, though EU ones will do just fine and are seemingly most common throughout the world.

            Yeah I agree, but EU ones don’t have grounding usually

              They have it optionally. But yes, making it mandatory would be amazing!
