The imaginary line has to go somewhere. 🤷

I talked to a guy that thinks we should just all use Unix Epoch on here once. We'd still need local informal systems to describe the time of day and weekday, but the more I've thought about it the less stupid it sounds. Date/time systems are a pain in the ass and necessarily ugly.

Shit programmers say...
The problems of time zones only affect a handful of people, the wast majority of people nearly never think about this.
Epoch or standard time would just rename time zones, beucause currently you say hour offset from London, with "no timezone" you would have to say something like, noon is at 05:00 utc/epoch at that city, so nothing really changed
Industries where it actually matters already use UTC for everything, e.g. international flights.
It would make more sense to switch to base 10 minutes and hours than to "solve" the time zones
