Daylight savings time

It blew me away to learn that all of China is in the one single time zone.

The joys of the socialist paradise. They are also not allowed to own guns.

I wish you lived in a place where you were not allowed to talk about guns.

Just wait, that will probably come, though it will come planet-wide.

Don't tease me like that.

That must be fucked up

They ban guns, they blow people's brains out for petty crimes and force their families to pay the cartridge, so why can't they fuck with the daylight?

Well your right but imagine living there and going to bed at 6pm and getting up for work at 2am and it's a normal day

For us it seems pretty insane, but they are just numbers on a clock. They can't change when the sun rises and sets.

Yes just numbers but they mean something.  If you were to have to do business across the country you'd still have to convert and figure out what time of day it was here you were calling. Time zones make that easier and more standard they must still have them to coordinate certain aspects of daily life

True. Locally it causes problems because not all states adhere to DST and they complain about it etc. But if a large enough company does business between wacky timezones, then I'm sure they are aware of it, discounting the morons (of which there are an endless supply it seems).
