If we're really committed to not going by solar time, everything should be UTC.

I'm an American, and I refuse to switch to metric time.
OK then keep using your 12 Football innings per school shooting.

but I live in EST land so therefore it is the best option
They should never have done away with Specific Time.
Looking at you, China.
What's 'Mountain'? I've seen TV shows advertised as Eastern, then their voice gets quiet and they mention Central. Sometimes they do the same for Pacific. Never heard of 'Mountain.' Sounds fake.
What’s ‘Mountain’?
Its a really big hill that is hard to climb.
Surely you can't be serious?

"It's Mountain Time" is what your mom says when she calls me.
there's only like 8 people there, so it doesn't really matter.
People on mountain time have mountains to entertain them, so they dont watch tv
I’m one of them. At least 3 of us are on Lemmy!
I guess we don't have the concept of time in Canada (or Mexico) based on this map. Thats also ignoring all of the other world timezones
edit: I'd also label anything American mental illness but I'd be catching my own strays given I'm in EST
Confirmed. I’m in Canada and I’m always late.
Must be wild living somewhere in the middle of a state right at a time zone border
Specially that eastern Oregon / western Idaho pocket where you gain an hour going far enough north, south, or west lol
Nah. Not really. Time zones don't follow state boundaries because they generally follow natural population boundaries.
I lived within 20 min of the EST and CST split for a couple years. It is wild. Doing anything informal like meeting with friends was fine because we'd just say "come by in 2 hours." Other times it was awful, leaving home at 7:45pm to go to the grocery store across town and arriving 90 minutes later after they closed sucked lol
The ISS uses UTC but they have a sunrise and sunset every 45 minutes so it's not really connected to the sun like us terrestrials.
