Are you Russian?

It would be good, of course in different parts of the world we do our stuff at different times but why do we need our clock to say 12 to have lunch? What's wrong with going to work at 12pm?
putin is so badass he can change time at will

It was normal to get up at sun rise and get in bed at dawn. Loads of animals do it, and since the world isn't flat but a ball time zones are needed to point at when the sun comes up (6 am) when it get's at it highest point of the day (12 pm) when it gets dark (6 pm) and when it is completely dark (12 am).
They actually eliminated them physically. With bombs.
In Soviet Russia, time zones alter YOU!

It makes it much harder to figure out what part of day it is in other parts of the world. Time zones simplify that.
[QUOTE=Benf199105;21012127]Hmm, i suppose cutting an hour off the time difference will make communication and cross country liasons easier, but i thought daylight savings and time zones were used to ensure, originally anyway, that farmers / agricultural workers had enough time to harvest and plant in the day?[/QUOTE]
Farmer generally like to get up with the sun, which keeps its own schedule.

Not really, it's only an hour.
Russia pulled a China.
I could understand those of you who questioned this if timezones were evenly split. However...

[QUOTE=johanz;21016376]You know that bright sun at 3am is not natural?[/QUOTE]
Unless you're in Iceland.
You know, I think it would make sense if we had only 6 time zones, and bear with the fact that sun rises at different times.
Maybe things would be simpler if we could just abandon our time system altogether and divide the day into a different number of hours, and have a different length of a second.
Ofcourse that would mean we have to rework the international system of units, but it wouldn't make it any worse, since it would still be a base 10 system. Hey, maybe we could divide the day into 10 parts, then 100 parts, then 10 parts?
I think we should all stick to Zulu time. :downsgun:
Them crazy Ruskies.
in soviet Russia you do not tell time, time tell you!
Now I could not fully comprehend this but does this mean Russia has a 22 Hour day now? If so then wouldn't that mean it would be Travelling faster in time figuratively?
Or did I just read this wrong.
Russia is such a rebel.
