It's crazy to me how people keep making memes where the group with Florida isn't a part of the mental illness. Really speaks to the severity of their mental illness.

It's a little bizarre that the Netherlands, or especially Spain, are in the time zone centered on basically Berlin. Damn WW2. The sun doesn't set until nearly 23:00 this time of year, and during winter isn't up until nearly 08:00.
If we're really committed to not going by solar time, everything should be UTC.
I'm an American, and I refuse to switch to metric time.
Why not? What's wrong with having a day composed of 1000 chroners, or 1 kilochroner which can be divided into either 10 centichroners or 100 decachroners?
We can even divide each chroner into 1000 millichroners, or for scientific purposes, a million microchroners, a billion nanochroners, or a trillion picochroners.
So much more sense than 60 seconds times 60 minutes times 24 hours. What even is a second, anyway? When was it defined as a constant, by whom, and against what reference? It's completely arbitrary, I tell you!
And then when you extend that to 7 days, times 4 to 4.43 weeks, times 12 months before you finally get into decimals (decades, centuries, millenia, etc.), it's insanity!
OK then keep using your 12 Football innings per school shooting.

UTC isn't metric time. LOL
but I live in EST land so therefore it is the best option
What's 'Mountain'? I've seen TV shows advertised as Eastern, then their voice gets quiet and they mention Central. Sometimes they do the same for Pacific. Never heard of 'Mountain.' Sounds fake.
Never heard of 'Mountain.' Sounds fake.
What’s ‘Mountain’?
Its a really big hill that is hard to climb.
Surely you can't be serious?

"It's Mountain Time" is what your mom says when she calls me.
They claim it includes New Mexico, but I don't see why we'd have a new Mexico when the old one is still perfectly good. Sounds fake to me
there's only like 8 people there, so it doesn't really matter.
People on mountain time have mountains to entertain them, so they dont watch tv
I’m one of them. At least 3 of us are on Lemmy!
Looking at you, China.
I guess we don't have the concept of time in Canada (or Mexico) based on this map. Thats also ignoring all of the other world timezones
edit: I'd also label anything American mental illness but I'd be catching my own strays given I'm in EST
Confirmed. I’m in Canada and I’m always late.
They should never have done away with Specific Time.
Must be wild living somewhere in the middle of a state right at a time zone border
Specially that eastern Oregon / western Idaho pocket where you gain an hour going far enough north, south, or west lol
I lived within 20 min of the EST and CST split for a couple years. It is wild. Doing anything informal like meeting with friends was fine because we'd just say "come by in 2 hours." Other times it was awful, leaving home at 7:45pm to go to the grocery store across town and arriving 90 minutes later after they closed sucked lol
Nah. Not really. Time zones don't follow state boundaries because they generally follow natural population boundaries.
The ISS uses UTC but they have a sunrise and sunset every 45 minutes so it's not really connected to the sun like us terrestrials.
