This is a great idea! Instead of just working from 8 to 4 to leave an hour of daylight after work, let's instead tilt all the clocks so that noon is at 11am.
Why stop with the clocks?
Today I announce my genius proposal Wallet Saving Prices.
Everyone wants more money left over after they buy something, so the obvious way to achieve that is just slide all the numbering systems left by one.
Henceforth all prices shall be written on a scale that starts at -1 instead of 0. If a thing cost $4 yesterday, it now costs the same 4 dollars, but the price is written as $3. This will give everyone more money!
If the numbers don't matter, then why do the numbers 9 and 5 matter so much that we center the new clock on those rather than noon/midnight?
It's probably not going to be a harmful stupid, it's only a small stupid, but it's still stupid.
There will be no explaining this to kids a generation from now.
"Well you see way back, they had this even goofier system where everyone changed all their clocks twice a year...that was ultimately just silly so finally they eventually decided to clean that mess up and treat the clocks rationally. Except they still didn't. They had that DST system for some hundreds of years so we can look forward to the current slightly less dumb system for another 100 or so. It's dumb but it doesn't matter that much, it just annoys programmers and data graphers because the numbers are all off-center by 1 for no justifiable reason, and a little bit more annoying for anyone who knows they actually did go through the bother of making a sweeping disruptive change across the land explicitly to finally clean up this minor stpidity, and did this with it."
