Where's the fun in that!?

I want to watch the software world burn while I demand that the wall clock on my phone shall start going backwards once I go west faster than ~1000mph.

Or, head to one of the poles, and amble slowly about for the same effect. No need to go supersonic at the equator.

No. Deprecate hours and minutes altogether, change to Greewitch Meridian degrees and minutes. This will help with leaving the old system and makes more sense semantically, even though it's essentially an equivalent system.

- What time is it now? - It's 258 degrees and 15 minutes. (5:18pm)
