Good for you. I am currently living in Japan, and I don't want sunrise to happen at 21:00, noon at 3:00, and sunset at 9:00.


>I don't want sunrise to happen at 21:00, noon at 3:00, and sunset at 9:00

but it will happen regardless of what you think about it, the only choice you have is to pretend it's happening at a "different time" because you assign a different number to it


True, but I want the numbers assigned to it to have a sensible meaning for us humans.

Even if dealing with time zones is annoying, we must remember that computers should serve humans, not the other way around.
