The absurdity of man made time

Please note, YT has provided the essential facility to make it snow on our videos if you click the little snowflake on the bottom right. This is obviously far more important than making the basics of the site work.

All they needed was the help of a certain Timelord.

@borgduck Who? :P

Hooray ! I managed to make it snow in your living room. The snow is building up and it is a good thing you have that nice wood burning stove to keep you warm.

Time is a measurement and has to be regulated so that it can be divided amongst those that need to use it. I suppose the secret is to use it as little as possible and follow your own natural rhythms. As most countries are nominally democratic I guess states have a right to choose their own time zone.

@nordicsky There are a few people who seem to have got pleasure from making it snow in my living toom lol

Good comments on time, though if 'states' (countries?) have the right to choose their own time zones travelling could prove incredibly confusing as you zigzagged to and fro through 'time'. It also begs the question who exactly is doing the choosing for everyone? I prefer to choose for myself.

Your commentary on YT's essential facility was, of course, funny for me :)

Tempus frangit means 'time breaks'; it's a variation on 'time flies' or tempus fugit. I prefer it.

@fulishproductions I like tempus frangit. I shall make use of it sometime. Thanks :)

@cosmicskydaddy1 It sounds as if the South Pacific islands would suit me. :)

Happy new year to you too. I believe it starts over a 24 hour period.
