The solution is obviously to buy 24 clocks and set each one's alarm to a different hour
Brilliant. I'll just turn off the alarms for 8 of them at night, but keep them around in case my schedule changes.
Don't even need to worry about daylight savings!
You're onto something-- I could set each clock one hour apart and set the alarms to the same hour. That way, I don't have to change 24 clocks twice a year; I just look at one clock for daylight savings time, and then look at a different clock during standard time. Bonus: I label the other clocks with their respective time zones.
Now you're thinking with portals
That would legit be super helpful for me. My biggest complaint about the windows clock and outlook calendar is you can only add 2 extra time zones, and I have coworkers across all US times zones, plus UTC and IST and probably more I can't think of. Still have to convert timezones multiple times a day....
I think I have more contact with people outside of my timezone than within, so I relate. I often think I wouldn't mind everyone switching to UTC. Even if that means I do things consistently at "odd" times, like go to bed at 10:00, wake up at 18:00 and eat dinner at 06:00.
At least we'd all be referencing the same clock. When I travel, I'd just change what time i woke up, not the clock itself, which would give a sense of changing global position. And if we still wanted DST we'd just agree to do everything an hour later and perhaps realize it's ridiculous and stop doing that.
