If there's EET for eastern european time and CET for central european time, we should have a WET time. I guess in the shower there already is.

Oh my god thank you! I'm forever using wet instead of GMT now
JubilantJaguar@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 1y
Completely! Didn't know it existed either till I checked. Much more logical than GMT.

Or Universal Time Coordinated

To be fair, there's a slight difference between GMT and UTC: GMT becomes BST (in the UK) during summer, while UTC doesn't follow Daylight Saving Time and is tied specifically to the atomic clock.

GMT doesn't become BST as far as I'm aware, GMT is UTC+0 all year round, and BST is UTC+1 all year round, it's just that in the summer the UK switches from GMT to BST.

I mean if you specify GMT, one could assume that you need to apply DST during summer, while UTC is garanteed to be static.

Funny enough, it’s actually Universal Coordinated Time (UTC).
doughless@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 1y
Close, Coordinated Universal Time. And for those wondering: Why is UTC used instead of CUT?

Oof. Thanks for the correction!

Love that it is called western european, when only three european countries use it.

That's because the other one sees itself as an island in the middle of the Atlantic.

My point was supposed to be about the main users of the tine zone being western african countries, yet the name being western eropean time zone.

OK yes that is indeed odd. Apparently Morocco is aspirationally European.

Let's get everybody on WET, in fact, let's just call it UTC and be done with time zones.
