Without time zones it would be worse. Every little town would have their own time, calculated from their position

At least then everyone would be thinking about it and using UTC, not writing their programs to rely on the timezone always being the same

It’s too easy a problem to ignore/overlook right now

I agree, UTC for global is fine, might as well just do localized time as

Sun-up, 1st hour of the day, ,2nd, 3rd… Sunset for locale

For the afternoon We could count the hours until sunset
