you mean Unix time?
Easton Williams
doesnt unix time die in the future?
Colton Miller
>Why is there no internet time, which is the same for everyone?
There is, and it is widely used.
It's called Unix time.
Wyatt Bailey
>doesnt unix time die in the future?
Unix time is number of seconds since Thursday, 1 January 1970. Unix time will die when we run out of numbers. When you reach the highest possible number, then we need something else.

Unix time doesn't answer his question since it started at a fixed point in time in 1970.
OP you are looking for Coordinated Universal Time, aka Zulu time
Julian Butler
Will check that, ty!

>Unix time doesn't answer his question since it started at a fixed point in time in 1970.

>How do we fix timezones?
No time zones

How can you fix something that isn't broken? They function just fine. Please kill yourself you dumb faggot.
Jeremiah Evans
happy new year

That's if you're doing 32 bit time, 64 bit time doesn't have this problem.
Jackson Johnson

"why isn't there a rush to adopt internet time?"
because it doesn't matter, the sun still sets at a different time for everyone, and the local time is more important to coordinate for work/class/whatever schedules
"why do we use silly numbers for everything regarding time with the only official international standard being YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS.MS even though less than 10 countries use it?"
old, incorrect people in power
Austin Myers
>Unix time doesn't answer his question since it started at a fixed point in time in 1970.
It's a fixed point so you can give it a negative value to express a time before January 1, 1970.
>OP you are looking for Coordinated Universal Time, aka Zulu time
Unix time IS in UTC, but even then UTC isn't a solution since you have to add a negative or positive offset in order for it to be the same worldwide (e.g. UTC in one country would be UTC+2 in another), which can be done with the other ones such as PST.

What's a real issue is daylights savings
Hunter Reyes
The earth is a oblate spheroid, so the sun cannot shine on all of it at any given instant. The earth spins, this is why we have time zones. Why is this thread here?
Brandon Miller
thats racism
William Allen
>implying people can't adjust work times around to fit schedules
You know were just talking about numbers right?
Landon Gutierrez
what's the advantage?
Nicholas Watson
lel, year 584554532970, the day when os x and gnu/linux will just break
Michael Rodriguez
I guess in 584554532970 time isn't a problem anymore.
Grayson Jackson
So when you talk to people outside of your timezone, times will line up. Easier communication. No need to change clocks.
Asher Smith

No idea why this failed.
Jason Richardson
>Why is there no internet time, which is the same for everyone?
There is you retarded underage faggot.
Ian Young
you can't because 12 o'clock is legally defined as the hour at which the sun is directly overhead
Evan Powell
rude
Nolan Bennett
I don't know either...
That is nonsense, muslims start one of their prayers at the exact moment when the sun is highest and that is almost never at 12:00. Only in some places and only on certain days.
Cooper Powell
How does that photo work? It scared me for a second.
Adam Adams
It's an optical illusion. When it gets bigger it looks like it changes, but it doesn't.
Nathaniel Nguyen
Julian Sullivan
Get raped and kill yourself, you retarded fucking faggot sack of nigger shit with down syndrome.
Parker Harris
You don't.
Hudson Reed
>How can you fix something that isn't broken? They function just fine. Please kill yourself you dumb faggot
Time zones stop functioning when some zones implement Daylight Savings Time and other don't.
Leo Williams
No they don't, you fucking retard.
Colton Ramirez
>Depending on the date, Brazil is either 1, 2 or 3 hours different from the US
>Not broken
Christopher Powell
sun dial master race
Dylan Lee
timezones aren't broken, its daylight savings which is broken and dumb
Christian Rivera
>niggers
no thanks
Sebastian Harris
You're an oblate spheroid
Luke Williams
>thinking US has only one timezone
>thinking Brazil has only one timezone.
Wow
Luis Stewart
UNIX time doesn't have leap seconds so it's not UTC
Carson Hernandez
Because it's shit
Jaxson Jackson
Did you know, if you walk outside your front door after the hours of let's be generous, 9am and 5pm, look up and you will see a giant ball of light.
This is what we call "the sun".
Normie retard fucks plan their days around this giant ball of light for some reason. If it's too far out of sync with what the "normal" hours of whatever it should be there they screech about it like autists.
Daniel Adams
Switch all your clocks to TAI
Jayden Smith
>if you walk outside your front door after the hours of let's be generous, 9am and 5pm, look up and you will see a giant ball of light.
I tried doing that for 6 months and saw no ball of light. Is this a ruse?
