Why not? What’s wrong with having a day composed of 1000 chroners, or 1 kilochroner which can be divided into either 10 centichroners or 100 decachroners?
We can even divide each chroner into 1000 millichroners, or for scientific purposes, a million microchroners, a billion nanochroners, or a trillion picochroners.
So much more sense than 60 seconds times 60 minutes times 24 hours. What even is a second, anyway? When was it defined as a constant, by whom, and against what reference? It’s completely arbitrary, I tell you!
And then when you extend that to 7 days, times 4 to 4.43 weeks, times 12 months before you finally get into decimals (decades, centuries, millenia, etc.), it’s insanity!
If we’re really committed to not going by solar time, everything should be UTC.
If we’re not going by solar time we should go with TAI. Fuck leap seconds.
I’m an American, and I refuse to switch to metric time.
OK then keep using your 12 Football innings per school shooting.

Actual metric time was a fiasco I’ve always been fascinated by
UTC isn’t metric time. LOL
Metric time isn’t real. That’s the joke.

Daylight saving.
but I live in EST land so therefore it is the best option
