#2050: 6/6 Time

[Cueball and White Hat are walking to the right. Cueball has his hands up in an explaining position.]

Cueball: Under my time system, the sun rises at 6 am and it sets at 6 pm, as it should.

Cueball: The length of the second is different each day and night, and the current time shifts with your latitude and longitude.

Cueball: Today is one of the two days each year when my clocks run at the same speed as everyone else’s.

Time standards are so unfixably messy and complicated that at this point my impulse is just to try to make them worse.
