Oh, they certainly are practical. Especially when you’re setting up a meeting with people living in different cities.

However, when you look at the time zones of China, you begin to notice things. Turns out, 12 o’clock has nothing to do with midday, but at least meeting times are nice and easy.

Sounds to me that even though your massless clock would be always right, time doesn’t really mean anything in that situation. It’s like having a ruler for measuring how purple yesterday is.

AKA solar time. It’s really quite natural. Man made time zones are truly bizarre.

This sounds pretty cool. Are there other types of restrictions you can have?

Sounds great. I hope at least one of these communities becomes the main community for capybaras. Defederation tends to cause fragmentation like this, so I guess there’s always some demand for new communities that aren’t on unpopular instances.

Here’s what my serach results (in mlem) look like:

!capybara@lemmy.smeargle.fans

!capybara@lemmy.world

!capybara@lemy.lol

I have mixed feelings about this. Even though I totally love these pictures and the chill vibes they spread, I have to ask something. There are 2 other capybara communities, so why do we need to have multiple communities for the same thing? Doesn’t the biggest capybara community suffice? Regardless, I subscribed in case this community has something the other ones don’t.

I’ve noticed that the search results are getting less and less relevant to what I’m actually looking for. I guess one day the search bar will disappear like the headphone jack of the iPhone.
