DST definitely isn't helping, but in my experience, DST only makes this stuff more arbitrary, between the winter and the summer here where i live, the sunset can vary up to about 4 hours based on season. Time is entirely arbitrary in relation to the sun to begin with. It's a lived experience that many of us have.
And while we do use things like morning, noon, afternoon, evening, night, and midnight. Those are all relative to the local solar time, not the actual time. Sure noon being at 12 is kind of nice i guess. But noon is noon, the time on the clock doesn't change that.
Stop using drugs, you're making literally no sense.
Actually, it makes perfect sense.
The loose terms like morning, noon, night etc are related to the suns position in the sky and exist regardless of what the wall clock happens to say
maybe you should try drugs, might make this concept of no longer having timezones conceptually understandable for you.
EVERY time i suggest this, without fail. People lose their shit over even the most basic of interpretations of how timezones could possibly not exist.
Here's a fun fact about time for you, there was a period during the catholic church, where they just removed like 7 days from the year.
