Why don't the whole planet just use UTC+00:00 / Universal Time without time zones?

Homework? Nah bro. This is just what I do while I wait for my code to compile or my lunch to heat up.
Pretty sure that's not what I said, but go off I guess.
Citation needed.
Ah yes, the one actual fact you've managed to dredge up, and it also just happens to be absolutely coincidental.
I don't have any need for you to believe me. You may feel free to not. I know what I've done and who I am.
I'm 100% absolutely certain this is true! But not in this case.
Definitely not. Even if I was dumb enough, I'm not cruel enough.
I put it into my previous response, so I think we've got it covered for now.
I'm so proud of you. I mean, it's not relevant to the conversation, but still. Good job.
lol, I actually have "WORDS MEAN THINGS" written on the back of a notebook somewhere. That's pretty funny that you'd say that specifically.
I've specifically said multiple times in this conversation that I know I can be wrong and I love being proven wrong. You have yet to do anything of that sort, though.
Probably if you put it in all caps I'll believe you.
You can't even write a short comment without pasting the bits you're commenting?
It looks like you have a genuine memory issue, or this is your first time on forums.
I don't aim to prove anything to you. It is beyond hilarious that you note the divisibility of hours (while not even understanding what the word means, lol) while calling it arbitrary.
"I know what I have done and who I am"
Yup, a pathetic liar. :D
"Oh I'm wondering whether it was a video-series", bitch pls, you saw a random YouTube short or something.
Everything from your behaviour and word's show what an ignorant moron you are and every time you return, you're digging yourself deeper.
How many languages did you speak again? Why's there no time systems with a prime number of hours? If the amount of hours was actually arbitrary, it could. But none are. Why is that? For an arbitrary thing? Or is it that you're still not accepting the word's definition?
It's hilarious how often I end up teaching Americans English.
What's the word "arbitrary" mean again, and why did you claim "every system we use is arbitrary"? You surely weren't using the word wrong, because that'd be a mistake and you looooove admitting to mistakes you make, right? ;>
I honestly had to check and see if this was a copy/paste of your previous comment. All right. This is no longer fun for me. Peace.
It's no longer fun pretending you didn't misuse a word you clearly misused?
Wow, I'm shocked.

Defaulting to the oneliner because you're in a paradox. You can't stop replying, because you "want the last word", but you've already "lost", seeing how you very clearly argued — for days — that timekeeping systems are arbitrary. Then went onto explain how "all systems are actually arbitrary", just plain ignoring the meaning of the word, because you hate admitting when you're wrong.
Which is exceedingly ironic, seeing how this thread has several comments from you boasting how you love to admit when you make mistakes. ;>
K. 👍
Can't address anything we talked about? Shocking.
K. 👍
Seeing this spam on your profile sure gives the impression of very intelligent and mature person.
K. 👍
Such intelligence and bravery, standing behind your words!
It would take a very egotistical coward to childishly replying without replying.
K. 👍
That's a very intelligent looking post history. People checking your profile will surely be impressed.
(Now's the part where you claim you don't care about that, while clearly overtly caring about a thing online to the extent you have to keep spamming "k" to a thread while you can't even address the subject. Quite pitiful, really.)
K. 👍
What's the definition of "arbitrary" and why do you think timekeeping systems are arbitrary? Didn't that "book" you "read" teach you anything?
Or was that perhaps a pathetic lie?
K. 👍
So now you're in the "I'm gonna return every few days, so my profile won't look as silly when all my childish answers aren't packed one after another, but spread over weeks"-phase?
Like I said, I've genuinely been down this path hundreds of times before, seen your exact "tactic" employed. You have nowhere to go, and you can't address the topic at all. Check mate. You've lost, and now you're just digging deeper and deeper.
What’s the definition of “arbitrary” and why do you think timekeeping systems are arbitrary?
K. 👍
I don't want to come off as bullying, but I think it'll benefit from you if you learn to handle situations like this. So I'm gonna keep replying. Sorry.
Why do you consider timekeeping systems to be arbitrary?
K. 👍
Remember when you were talking about how you love to admit it when you make mistakes, because it's a learning opportunity? Or was that someone else pulling this same shit. Because again, I have seen this 1000 times over several years if not decades.
lol you're posting screenshots now
Still not reading anything you post. Keep at it though. Maybe next time.
K. 👍
Good looking, intellectual, profile, eh?
I won this time, like I usually do.
You're dragging this out because you're pretending you didn't. But... You can't talk about the thread. You're just seething that you're caught in this. Ego makes you reply without you being able to talk about why you're in the thread to start with.
Like I've said, I've seen this a 1000 times. You think you're being clever. No. You're just being infantile.
