Permanent DST is only slightly less of an abomination than changing the clock twice a year.

The sun should be highest (roughly) at noon you fools.

I will take no input in this matter, thank you for your attention.

@philip so, back to some form solar time, daylight saving and time zones being the work of deviant minds?

In the city where I grew up there’s a clock with two minute hands to show both the new fangled standard time and the proper traditional local time. https://www.atlasobscura.com/places/corn-exchange-dualtime-clock

Corn Exchange Dual-Time Clock in Bristol

The clock on this 18th-century market building has an extra minute hand.

@MikeStok I said roughly at noon for a reason ;)

Going up to 30 minutes forward or backward to align into one hour bands makes sense.

But China being one big timezone? Kinda weird.

Everything within nuanced reason, as always.
