The world is cruel and ugly. There are plenty of justifiable things to be upset and distraught over. I don’t want to hear about those. I want to know what bizarre out of left field takes you have that infuriates you.
I’m still upset about Tenochtitlan falling and being buried. I’m a gringo, I shouldn’t have an opinion about Lake Texcoco being drained centuries ago.

Found the programmer.
I think you mean daylight savings time is dumb & you hate it,(?) which would be understandable.
Time zones however are part of nature.

I’ve argued for this before, both on Lemmy and elsewhere. Nice to see someone else with the same take.
Do you also get the impression that people who disagree with you almost always fail to understand the argument?

If everyone in the world was on one universal time, some people would be functioning in the dark while people on the other side of the world are functioning in the daylight. Not fair. Time zones are essential. And yes, in most places in the world, 12:00 p.m. is when the sun is highest in the sky.

I understand why we have timezones, but I’ve never heard an explanation for leap seconds that was particularly compelling.
I know that years and days don’t exactly match up, but as far as I’m concerned, whoever it is that’s being inconvenienced by the Earth being a few seconds out of rotation can go figure out their own workaround instead of messing up a million peoples’ daily rollup scripts.
Good news for you, the CGPM decided in 2022 to abandon the leap second by 2035.
