Sandford Fleming (the guy who invented time zones) actually made it easier.
Before timezones, every town had their own clock that defined the time for their town and was loosely set such that “noon is when the sun is at its highest point in the sky.” Which couldn’t be measured all that accurately.
If it wasn’t for Fleming, we’d be dealing with every city or town having a separate time zone.
Yes, I agree. Even if we could magically make all computers work with it, shouldn’t it logically be the other way? Wouldn’t a later sunset in winter be better lol? But yeah, it’s dumb either way. If we want to have different hours then shouldn’t we adjust our daily routines instead of adjusting our clocks??
I really don’t care if it gets dark at 3:30 or 4:40 in the winter. Either way, there is no doing things in sunshine after work. Fortunately, I can use part of the day time for personal things and work later when I get back home.

Save a slap for the dude who invented sundials, and another slap for the dude who invented civilization.
Some asshole had the idea to water a seed and now I have to pay taxes. Fuck that guy.
Is he cute?
Not any more. But some of the IRS guys are smokin’ hot, I’m sure, if that’s what you’re into.
Save a slap for the dude who invented slaps!
This but unironically.
No wonder they never invented time machines to get to the future, if we’re so keen on bullying them.
Everyone complaining about timezones is truly missing the forests for the trees.
Timezones aren’t a problem. Stupid fucking daylight savings is though.
