If you could only go to one time zone for the rest of your life, what would it be and why?

    Probably UTC+1 as most of western Europe is in there, lots of people so more opportunities for me to make friends! Though UTC-8 has a lot of beautiful nature and the US west coast.

        What the heck is that map projection? It’s like Mercator on steroids.

          That would be regular Mercator, actually. Greenland is as big as Africa in regular old Mercator projections.

          Edit: although maybe with a slight uniform vertical squish

              You’re right, I don’t know what I was thinking. Other than “commies hate time zones.”

                I think we are both wrong, China has one time zone. Russia and USSR did not.

    In terms of practicality, probably UTC+0 since, after hardening my tech, it tends to be my default timezone when I’m browsing the net.

    I think I’d stay in UTC -5 because there’s plenty here on the east coast of the US, can go to big cities, mountains, Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico beaches; a lot of the populated part of Canada, Pacific coast in Peru.

    I could make it the rest of my life with those options.

    I’d say UTC-6. Mostly because that’s where I and most of the people I know live. However, It’s a bit limiting, only 3 big countries and some pacific Islands.

    My second choice would be UTC 0, because I think it covers a lot of land

    Cst. My current time zone, unfortunately life is to good here. Does that mean I can only exist half the year though? How does daylight savings interact with this

    I’m assuming that you mean a “time period”. Is that correct ?

      I’m glad you thought of this, because I was very confused by this post. I thought the question was asking which group of countries you’d want to be allowed to visit.
