Better question: Will the world rejoice in having a social media network without Americans?

We could keep the 0 hour as the “middle” of the night and 12 being the “middle” of the day (though I’m not sure if that’s really the sun’s high spot for the day for any places).
But with fully controlled mirrors, we could make it exactly 12 hours, so we could just then switch to the 0 hour being when the sun comes up.
It’s pretty simple, actually. A village somewhere in Europe that is completely in the shade all day for part of the year has already proven it.
Mirrors.
We just need a ring of motorized mirrors around the Earth.
At hour 0, the mirrors will rotate to show sun all across the entire Earth.
At hour 12, the mirrors will rotate to put all of the Earth into night time.
That lets the entire Earth have the exact same synchronized time synchronized with the daylight.
The mirrors will block the sun from parts of the earth facing during the night.
The mirrors will constantly be rotating to keep the proper amount of sun light facing each part of Earth as the Earth rotates.
The mirrors will be solar powered.
This will fix it, right?
It’s worked for Windows?
Let’s never eat anywhere near each other.
Oops, you didn’t even finish reading my first comment and just started replying. So your answer actually doesn’t apply.
You full well know we’re talking about the average guy in just your everyday average bathroom usage.
We’re not talking about edge cases.
There are some edge cases where you would never wash your hands - because you don’t have any, or wearing a pee bag (whatever they are called)…
There are some edge cases where you should just pee in your clothes - when you’re floating in the middle of the ocean all alone…
There are some edge cases where you always make someone else handle your business - when you’re in a coma…
There are some edge cases where you should hold your pee - someone has an example…
What other edge cases do you want to think up to prove absolutely nothing?
You don’t wash your hands after peeing?
There are sides dudes so manly that when they go to the bathroom they thoroughly wash their hands before doing their business, but not afterwards.
Now you know why the cold and the flu and now COVID will never go away.
I’m only enough to remember when corporations were not people, and when the ultra wealthy paid taxes.
It’s fine if you need to try a couple times. Or if you need to rock yourself to a new position and time it with Go.
Tell yourself “3 2 1 Go!” And do it.
I think the rest of the world calls them Freedum Dolts.
I am not talking about jank yolo prayer work. I’m talking about people learning how to do something properly. Duct tape a car is not the repair I’m talking about.
You are complaining about there not being enough skilled workers today. I’m talking about people learning the skills over time.
Look at how many types of food and products are starting to promote cleaner ingredients and more sustainable materials as people are starting to learn more about their health and the environment. People can learn and thing can get better.
I’m not saying that today everyone should push a button and start self hosting. I’m saying it would be great if more people learn to self host and that there are benefits to people learning more.
People don’t just absorb knowledge. It will require education programs.
Did you know how to do everything before you started?
More self hosting would improve the “average” person baseline.
Education of people is always(?) better, I’d say.
It’s good to exercise the mind, just like exercising the body.
What if 25% of car drivers could handle their own car maintenance? The one downside people will scream at first is that fewer mechanics will be needed.
But that is too short sided.
More home mechanics will need to buy more tools, so that’s more store jobs and more manufacturing jobs and more shipping/trucking jobs.
And more people who understand mechanics mean a better workforce who can invent new/better products or processes. And can do more research into manufacturing science, which would improve society.
This would also lead to safer cars because they are better roadworthy, and car manufacturers would have a harder time using low quality parts.
So all of those changes would apply to technology when more people know how to use technology.
Think of all the Russian jobs spreading misinformation on Tik Tok that will be lost!
