here’s the thing though, you wouldn’t need to do that second part. You only need to know what the relative time for london is in the event that you fly over there, or something, and even then
What? Sorry, I must be misunderstanding your viewpoint here. People interact all across the globe all of the time; it’s important to know what part of day it is in the different places for all of that. You want to call someone in Singapore? It doesn’t help to know their clock shows the same time as you, you need to know if it’s the middle of the night, or maybe it’s likely lunch time etc. That’s why you need to know the offset from “your” time.
And you glossed over everything else… I’m not talking about movies for no reason. Movies tend to need to convey lots of information in a short amount of time so it’s a useful example of the differring amounts of information that can be communicated when we all share cultural understandings of things. If 3am means essentially the same thing everywhere that’s super useful in communicating all sorts of ideas.
Too bad movies never use shit like ambient moon lighting, or darkness
Probably because people’s beds tend to be inside… Plus darkness can mean morning or evening or middle of the night or something else (imagine the person notices it’s dark, looks at the clock and it shows 1pm. We know something’s off because we all experience 1pm as early afternoon).
The point isn’t that timezones are only good for movies, the point was that they help convey that cultural understanding very effectively across the world. Having a common understanding of what certain numbers on a clock mean and have that be universal can help convey quite a bit of information. 11am means “late morning” in a specific way that you could probably spend a paragraph describing.
Sure, without timezones I’d know what their clock says in London without having to use Google, but I’d still have to Google what time of day it is there and apply an offset to understand exactly what part of the day it is (which is what timezones do already). It’s no easier, plus we lose the ability to culturally share the same reference points.
Imagine you’re watching a movie, and the main character turns over to their bedside clock and it shows 4:13 am. With time zones we all understand what part of the day that is and instinctively can relate to the situation.
Without timezones, every locality would have a different shorthand and cultural understanding of what times mean what. Or they’d adopt a second system that helps transcend that but that’s just inventing timezones again…
I love DST! I just think ever switching out of it is where the mistake lies
Yes, but you had to set up Bixby first which I refused to do, so just cut off the part of my phone case that pushed the button so I’d stop accidentally pressing it.
Too bad the punchline is ruined by being in the title…
Sure, but he shoots it when it’s less than 6 months?
Why does the sign flip?
My Samsung phone can treat a monitor like an external screen and acts like a simple computer if connected by usb. I forget what it’s called. Is that an option for you?
Yes, it wasn’t until the third panel did I notice the arms of the chair and suddenly the person was bald
