Currently on season 3 of a rewatch haha

Such an awesome show

Woah this is awesome

Not xkcd in this case

I also highly recommend the movie, one of my all time favorites (and not because of this scene)

Still very cool to think about

And thank you for the app link, if I ever get flexible enough hours I wonder if that sleep schedule would help my somewhat unhealthy relationship with sleep

I definitely agree some of the issues they cite are more complicated than they need to be

It would be awesome to base schedules around sunrise (especially sleep, your routine sounds very nice), but the wild variance the further you go from the equator might make that unruly.

Depending on the time of year my schedule would "shift" around multiple hours due to latitude, people in (southern) Norway would have to shift around 6ish hours, all the way to the extreme arctic circle where the sun doesn't rise/set depending on season

I think I could adapt where I live, but I feel like "time of day" would lose all meaning without also knowing time of sunrise, whereas right now I can be reasonably certain how "active" the world is in any given timezone at 9:00 or 23:00

It is definitely interesting to think how different it would be to base everything around sunrise (you'd never really say let's meet at x time, it would always be relative to sunrise), I just struggle in thinking people would be able to break the routine of relying on nice round numbers for time

As much as timezones are a pain (I'm a programmer who recently finished working on an international calendar for an app), I don't think getting rid of timezones is a great idea. https://qntm.org/abolish

I think a much better goal would be getting rid of daylight savings. THAT causes so much headache for little reason nowadays

Reminds me of https://neal.fun/speed/

But that does position rather than rotation

I would absolutely go to this event

I definitely recommend it!

Waking life is one of my all time favorite movies

And if you like both of these films check out the show Undone! It's made with the same surreal rotoscoped animation technique and also uses it to great effect
