So, how do you schedule with multiple parties in multiple regions when everyone has their own time? Do we go back to the horse and buggy where if you called the town over at 5pm and they are 6pm but the are 20km away?

Whats the work around here?

Do you mean for example planning an online meeting? That would be way easier than now, right? Now everyone's time is called differently. In the proposed system, you'd just say "let's meet at 9". Everyone would connect at what is called 9 in their part of the world - easy. It would be different parts of the day for each of them, just like it is always at such meetings.

Hey, let's change everything about society because one person doesn't like timezones...

No one is saying we need to change society. We're having a fun discussion here. Calm down.

I am being calm. Don’t be that person.

Changing how the timekeeping system *works for the entire planet WILL change all of society and thinking otherwise is shortsighted.

Oh no, the adult entered the room, no more fun allowed. Yes, I like thinking about world-changing stuff. It's fun if you don't immedately reject it for not being realistically implementable. Try it, it's enjoyable.

Ah yes, can't have a differing opinion and voice it or I'll ruin your fun..

FFS.
