It’s actually a good question
The fact that people are dismissing this reasonable question says a lot about society. People love to be the guy that already knows just so to clown the guy who asked the question…. But after watching that video, I’m pretty confident that at least 90% of the population doesn’t know why there are 24 hours in a day, 60 minutes in an hour and 60 seconds in a minute.

Not gonna give you nikkas a damn history lesson but it started mainly with the Industrial Revolution. With technological advances in the railway in particular, the time had to become more accurate as “time” was different in different regions. But OP you’re right, the time wasn’t standard worldwide. It was typically 2-3 hours ahead or behind depending on where you lived

Wow… fascinating.

So essentially it’s the result of a somewhat random base system used to track the earth’s revolutions which was then adopted to track time. And we could just as “easily” have been in a different system if it had been more widely adopted.

The more you know!

You would think people would push for a metric time system but I guess people are use to what we got now.

Right. Base 10 always made more sense to me. Even as a child after learning about the metic system, it annoyed me that we used the imperial system instead of the metric system because it made so much more sense to me.

Education is so key.

They used to slip little tidbits about the roots of agriculture and industrialization and all the advances that came from it into our social studies classes.

I guess they just teach to the test now.

Honestly I think that is on the teacher to add things like that to the lesson.

I said the same shyt with math. That’s why I think I never been great at math. I still be wondering how all this shyt came to be. Why the fukk they don’t have math philosophy class? You getting on a nikka for not knowing these hoe ass equations. How about you make math philosophy a prerequisite, and let me understand how this shyt even came to be, before you start judging me for getting problems wrong. Just hating on a young nikka for no reason.


I took a History of Math course in college, it was awesome. I would recommend it, because it would give you a good prospective on Math. It showed the history of Linear Algebra, Algebra, Arithmetic, Trigonometry, etc

shyt was :banderas:
