    So what are these offset’s you mentioned? They are not used?

      they’re used less frequently than timezones are now. Because the offsets only purpose is to show to explicit time of the local solar time, anywhere in the world. relative to your local solar time (which is not very useful.)

        Your proposal is exactly how time is used at my work. All meetings are in GMT. You use the timezone time when thinking locally. Instead of everyone using GMT and timezones already, why should we introduce a while new concept?

          you say you already use this at work, but then say it’s an entirely new concept. I don’t think you’ve quite comprehended this properly.

          We are literally already doing it, there is no reason not to switch to it.

            We are using GMT + timezones. You are the one who opposed timezones and said you have a different approach. But yours is exactly like timezones. My question is that why should anyone switch to something “like” timezones when there are actual timezones?

              because the thing that is “like” timezones is fucking better, why else would you switch?

                How is it better?

                    It’s not better because your offset time is much granuler and hard to calculate in your mind than timezones. And it doesn’t offer anything new over timezones. Since you suggested it, you must see a benefit. What is it?
