    Honestly, just give me one time for everything world-wide and then have - gasp - people get up at different times. It would make things so much easier.

      Aweful idea: do you want to plan a meeting at 16:00 with colleagues in the US? It is very hard to tell if this makes sense without timezones. Is this in their working day? Or the equivalent of midnight? Or something else? There are no timezones, so there is no way of telling without looking at some shady website how many hours you are shifted - which is basically the concept of timezones anyway, but shittier.

        without looking at some shady website

        On Gnome and on Windows you can add multiple clocks so when you click the time it shows the differences.

          But not if there are no timezones! Probably someone would find a way to display the shift anyway, but this is basically the old timezone system again, but without a (more-or-less) universal standard.
