Why don't the whole planet just use UTC+00:00 / Universal Time without time zones?

I honestly didn't have to check and see if this was a copy/paste of your previous comment.
Get it? Because you said "I honestly had to check..." Yes, we all know you have a terrible memory, from you writing a reply by writing one of my lines, then one of yours, then one of mine.
All while refusing to touch on what "arbitrary" means and why time-keeping systems aren't arbitrary. They're pretty much the exact opposite. Hell "like clock-work" and other such expressions have pretty much the exact opposite meaning to "arbitrary." :D
K. π
(whoa, I haven't been reading any of your responses, but this one is longer than usual. You must be getting mad, eh?) (don't bother replying, I'm not reading it)
I know you have memory issues, but like a week ago when you were lying about "having read a book about timekeeping", I told you what a horrible liar you are.
You haven't gotten any better.
You're just seething that you were wrong. That's why you have to keep spamming. Because you're seething that I am right and you are wrong and timekeeping systems are most definitely not arbitrary.
K. π
Yeah, you don't seem mad at all, spamming "k" like a tweener.
Must be really maddening to have someone teach you how to use your native language, huh?
Must feel completely arbitrary. That's what the word means right? Whatever I want it to? Oh no, right, no, that's not how words work.
K. π
You're basically refusing to take an L that you've already taken. Yeah, it's a cringe expression. So is "cringe", but times evolve.
As I said, you've already "lost". You can't address the topic, but yet your ego keeps forcing you to come back and reply. I've been in threads like these for months. The thing is, I can say whatever and address anything said in the thread, while you can't.
Whatβs the definition of βarbitraryβ and why do you think timekeeping systems are arbitrary?
K. π
I don't want to come off as bullying, but I think it'll benefit from you if you learn to handle situations like this. So I'm gonna keep replying. Sorry.
What's "arbitrary" mean?
