Imagine, if we were just all on the same time. It'd just make things, a little easier.

All in the same time? But... Then the sun might go down at noon. That doesn't make sense...

Wait... Noon? Noooon...

The word noon comes from a Latin root, nona hora, or "ninth hour." In medieval times, noon fell at three PM, nine hours after a monk's traditional rising hour of six o'clock in the morning. Over time, as noon came to be synonymous in English with midday, its timing changed to twelve PM.

Oh now that's worse

We must establish a new order of monks, who all get up at 6am UTC. We can call them in sync

new order of monks

New Order of Monks, in short, NOOM

Just let go of all meaning. 2 PM can be in the middle of the night if you just let go.

Life, that is. It would just make life a little easier.
