Guys... my buddy just asked me why we can not just save an hour every day, like why that would be wrong and why we would not just gain an hour, he said he can not conceptualize it
And I am too dumb to explain it properly
How do I do that? Why is it not okay to just roll back an hour every day besides the world not catching up with us

Actually the day is 23 hours 56 minutes and 4.1 seconds, if anything we should update our day measurements to reflect that.

Technically we save minutes every day, for four years, to get a day.

Actually-actually, there are several different definitions of a "day", each with a different length.

The Time Lords have spoken.
Like climate, the length of day unpredictably changes.

I wonder how many clocks are programmed to actually display that kind of thing.

Because 12am would eventually become sunrise
