But I have to google when the sun comes up for you, it's literally the same thing.

What would be easier with our conversation? I guess we are at the other side of the globe. I wasn't answering because I was sleeping, you won't answer immediately because you are sleeping, what would help if our clocked showed the same? Both of us sleep because the sun is down, not because the clock says something.

With long range space travel we will have to deal with the relativity of time as well. Lets say we define an Epoch and both of us do something exactly a googol second later but we live on a different planet, it wouldn't be at the same time because of relativity. If I would say lets do something when it is 12:00 in London, UK, Earth, than you can convert it to your relativity and time zone.

About the intetplanetary usage of the current system, it's already in effect, LTC aka Coordinated Lunar Time is already under development since this April.

https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/the-moon-will-get-its-own-time-zone-called-coordinated-lunar-time-under-nasas-lead-180984076/

On the moon, a smaller body where the gravitational pull is much weaker, time moves more quickly and unevenly: Lunar time gains about 58.7 microseconds per day compared to Earth’s time, though even this can vary, depending on the altitude and longitude where lunar clocks may be located.

“An atomic clock on the moon will tick at a different rate than a clock on Earth,” Kevin Coggins, manager of NASA’s Space Communications and Navigation Program, tells the Guardian’s Diana Ramirez-Simon. “It makes sense that when you go to another body, like the moon or Mars, that each one gets its own heartbeat.”

So the solution is to just convert between time zones, and resync them sometime because they can drift because of relativity.

I don't know how a base 10 day would work, it just annoys me that its reform wasn't successful with the metric system. But I don't know how it will work when people will live on Mars. A day on Mars aka a Sol is 24 hours and 39 mins. Will they have "Mars hour" which equals 1 Earth hour and 1.6 Earth minutes? If not, they could simply use Earth hours, than it won't be possible to create classic circular clocks.

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

If it wouldn't have the satire tag, I would still believe it was a legit post on r/maps. Oh the quality was so low there.

The 4 map subreddits I followed at some point:

  • r/maps: maps from your elementary school atlas
  • r/mapporn: misinformation, outdated maps, source: I made it up
  • r/historicalmaps: "please date this map" and the same map as yesterday by a different user
  • r/mapporncirclejerk: the spiritual ancestor of this community. At the end I only followed this one, the others became too annoying.

Ah, so it's not Le Pen and her friends? I was confused for a moment. They have 2 far rights now, phenomenal.

They still support them, they are just not on the landing page. You could select them during registration, maybe not all of them but I remember the African one from last time I created an airmail.cc address.

Buttcheek, I found it

 

Due to high gerrymandering and messed up voting system it's expected that a result like this would still give Orbán a small majority in the parliament.

But Orbán won all elections since 2006 (in 2006 he lost parliamentary elections in March but won local elections in September, than won everything in 2010, than he changed the voting rules). Current system overwhelmingly punishes coalitions and small parties, and favors big parties.

Medián, the pollster behind this poll is usually one of the most accurate. Wiki page about recent polls, and the rise of Tisza Party: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opinion_polling_for_the_2026_Hungarian_parliamentary_election

Neeeee, vége van, a fenébe, úgy megnéztem volna még 2-3 újraszámlálást.

További kérdések, hogyan nyerhet Vitézy mégis? Csak van valami kiskapu, lennie kell, nem veszíthet.

 

Holnapután választás, es itt lemmy-n nagy a csend.
