minus-squareHawk@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up7·5 months agoYeah, when someone now says I get up at 05:00, we all know that’s early. Getting rid of time zones would remove a lot of context to conversations. If someone is getting up at 16:00, the others in the conversation would have no idea if that’s late or early, same goes for working hours.
