  • I dunno, both mixed drinks and a lot of craft beers have some absolutely fucky names too.

    But absolutely agree with how dumb the names are for weed strains. Sick of “Watermelon Runtz Gorilla Chunk” as a valid name for some flower. How the fuck do I recommend that to anyone and how does that name describe it outside of the other esoteric strain names it came from being mashed together?



  • It would definitely remove the concept of noon being around when the sun is at its zenith in the sky. I think we kind of have a shared idea of what a waking day is, so from that perspective this change is a terrible idea.

    I actually think it would be kinda cool in a way to have people have different relationships with what “time” or “day” it is. I’m looking at it very optimistically when I say that though.


  • I mean, that’s already kind of an issue in the sense of determining what day something happened when using a timezone.

    I think timezones help give a sense of shared “day” in the sense of when the sun is roughly meant to rise and set. I also think we’re super used to them and I don’t expect my opinion to change our relationship with time.

    That said, timezones are wildly inconsistent and often difficult to track. This goes doubly for places that practice daylight savings of some kind. I like the simplicity of ideas like UTC and stuff.

    Part of me wishes we didn’t have timezones at all. Like normalizing the idea that some places have mornings at 22:00 and others have it at 07:00. Would definitely make my life easier not dealing with timezones anymore.

    EDIT: I want to be clear, this is me pining for a world where any date or time is aligned without the need for conversion. It’s impractical, skips the caveats that timezones help fix, and it’s not really how we, as humans, think of or experience time in a day. Some of y’all really jumped on this, but it’s not a serious suggestion. I do really appreciate the thought experiment and interesting discussion of it though!







  • Tomorrow: Dumbass announces 25% tariff on EU and Mexico.

    Day after that: Dementia patient announces 35% tariff on EU and Mexico.

    Day after that: Pedophile says tariff talks are two weeks away from deal with EU and Mexico.

    Day after that: Rapist announces 30% tariff on EU and Mexico.

    Like a child throwing a tantrum. No plan, no subtlety, just pissing and shitting themselves and throwing that piss-laden shit at the wall in the hopes that they can get the toy you told them they can’t have.
