100 is perfect

cuz we cant change the speed of the orbit of the planet

#

how should days be measured instead of 24 hours

#

even tho 24 hours is perfect imo

hollow coral
lilac falcon
#

id probably say another good alternative would be 30 or 32

boreal gust
lilac falcon
#

but they're still a measurement

#

but by that logic btw

#

days cant be changed either

foggy pawn
lilac falcon
#

a day will always be 24 hours

#

its just

#

how do we define an hour

foggy pawn
#

You can’t change earths speed

#

Yes

lilac falcon
#

we define hours by minutes by seconds

#

and its easy to define a second

#

these two messages were posted 1 second apart

very simple

☠️

lilac falcon
#

the question at its core is "how do we define a second"

#

its disguised in that form

#

to ask a more interesting one for debate

fierce heron
lilac falcon
#

a day will always be a 360 revolution of the earth
a year will always be a full orbit around the sun

#

which also means we can define how long a year is

#

and honestly

#

unlike the current measurement for a day

unreal raft
#

a day should be 0.5 ms time

lilac falcon
#

i dont like the measurement for a year

#

12 months, but they're not all the same length

#

when 13 months is literally just shy of 365 anyway

hollow coral
quasi helm
#

beans hours

lilac falcon
#

just put 13 months and make each month have 28 days

#

13 x 28 = 364

#

and then we just add an extra day to the last month

nimble galleon
#

uuuuhh

lilac falcon
#

(an extra day to the first month if its a leap year)

nimble galleon
#

i think it should remain 24

lilac falcon
nimble galleon
#

actually no,

lilac falcon
#

because 24 is basically the best answer

nimble galleon
#

let's make it 25

pure ivy
nimble galleon
#

🙂

lilac falcon
#

imo

#

bro 😭

#

you're evil

nimble galleon
#

let's make it 25 hours

lilac falcon
#

morning will be 12.5 hours 😭

nimble galleon
#

and it's an odd number

#

people HATE those

#

hehe

lilac falcon
#

ok how about instead of 25 hours

#

50 hours

nimble galleon
#

51

lilac falcon
#

bro 😭 stop doing odd numbers

nimble galleon
#

(i have something against even numbers)

lilac falcon
#

you love pain 🙂

nimble galleon
#

let's actually make it 9 hours and 55 minutes long

#

12

lilac falcon
#

i hope you know how evil

#

the amount of minutes

#

being infinitely long decimal points is

#

a day being 9.916666666666666666667 hours long is cruel

nimble galleon
#

im evil

i just earned an achivement for sending 100 messages

#

imo i think 32 hours is the better atlernative

river spire
lilac falcon
#

because 18's prime factors are 2 and 9

#

thats not a lot

#

16's are 2, 2, 2, and 2

#

which is much more

#

thats a lot more ways to split the day

river spire
#

i guess 4 does divide into both 16 and 24, but not 18, so it may be more rational

#

at the same time, humans really work in 3rds. one third is sleep time, one third is work time, the last third is everything else

#

so 18 hours might make more sense if we're working for the human sense

lilac falcon
#

actually that makes sense for why 24 is such a rounded number

#

also i forgot to factor the 9 into 3x3

#

😛

river spire
lilac falcon
#

actually 36 provides a really good amount of ways to split

#

more variable than 32 actually because for 32 they're all factors of 2

#

for 36 you have 2, 3, 6, 9, and 18

10 so school can be 2

#

So 10 min

lilac falcon

#

Hours feel like eternity so make a day 10 minutes

lilac falcon
#

those minutes would feel lik eternities then

#

we cant change the spee od the earth spinning

#

if we can your argument would be much more plasuable

#

but the questions basically asks "how should hours be redefined"

#

if you make a day contain less hours, those hours will be longer

#

and if you make a day contain more hours, those hours will be shorter

It should be 2000 years then it will match up to heaven time 😜

unreal raft
#

if i chose 1, would it make time go faster its self, or would it just make it shorter entirely, not really changing much other than renaming a hour to day?

28 hours bc i saw someone else say it
