Mercator vs Peters Projection!

Nice pic. Trying this out for the first time based on the video you posted on Twitter. We need more people here so that we can create more networks. Maybe you can convince Elon to move Twitter onto a Nostr protocol?

#UTC fixes this.

Are we alreday progressed enough for indiscrete location-time? I mean with digital devices knowing where they are all the time, why even time zones?

Random in retrospect. Colonial supremacy initially.

On the other hand, this is also random.. https://nostrcheck.me/media/public/nostrcheck.me_4289989935986098621690705602.webp

Check out the slicing of Antartica, it's a perfect pie chart 😹 https://m.primal.net/HHJa.svg https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Antarctica,_territorial_claims.svg By Lokal_Profil, CC BY-SA 2.5, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=4303475

An inherent problem with taking the globe model as fact, is you need to maintain ridiculous levels of cognitive dissonance. A perfect globe would have 24 equal time zones. People will will provide any reason why there are 30-some time zones in the northern hemisphere, and 20-some in the southern. ...

You'd love it Down Under

That seems unnecessarily complicated 🤨

Dateline and time is a protocol . only one can exist ..#btc

Looks mirrored. 👀

One year I had New Year twice. I flew late night from New Zealand to LAX and crossed the dateline just after midnight. I thought the flight crew/cabin crew would think this worthy of note, but they were like "Meh".

Cardinal directions are relative on the time of day

There is a small portion of Earth where travelling eastbound for a few kilometers you will have to move to adjust your watch *back* by 1 hour two times. Guess where.

reminds me of an old song from down dem wayz

Countries are random

There should be only one world time

India's population ranks first, China's second, and the United States' third most populous country. https://cdn.nostr.build/i/ae0a6e9f1f4df19517850cae6ed0b6dce9376ebf74c499baeb2549af707dccf0.jpg
