| Hmm... Does this probably mean 9AM today could theoretically be '''after''' 9AM tomorrow in some cases!? Talk about a new approach to time travel.

| Of course, before mechanical clocks, hours varied across the year. With 12 short hours each day, and long ones over night in winter and 12 long ones in summer, with shorter hours overnight.

− | The total day length would remain the same in this proposal. That means that the length of the hours (both before and after 9AM) would vary.

− | The reference to the weekly cycle seems to refer to the fact that people tend to sleep in during the weekends. Thus, on Saturday and Sunday the buttons would be pressed later, and consequently 9AM would be relatively late on Sundays and Mondays. What (if any) effects there would be on other weekdays is unclear to me, which makes it an interesting experiment to conduct in someone else's country.

− | :"The total day length would remain the same in this proposal." - I'm not sure about that. If it had marked 'Shorter Hours' for the latter ⅝<sup>ths</sup> of the day, I'd agree. The drawn hour-ticks might indeed look (possibly measure) differently-spaced between each example of 9AM to Midnight. But I'm not sure that isn't just an illustrative foible. The assertion that midnights on that retro-subjective scale are locked to the objective (solar? meridean-gap wide?) midnights is far more obvious in its ommission.

− | My personal solution is for my clock noon to be identical to solar noon, at my present location, and for clock midnight to be halfway between solar noon of the previous and next days. That may mess up everyone else, but I'll be satisfied. (I hate early sunsets during the winter here.)

− | This is not entirely dissimilar from [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_in_Turkey Historic Turkish Time], which evidently included setting clocks to midnight at sunset. [[Special:Contributions/172.70.131.214|172.70.131.214]] 17:07, 24 March 2022 (UTC)

− | Ironic that the IP editor who finally removed the Incomplete-tag (in this and apparently many other articles) then went on to [https://www.explainxkcd.com/wiki/index.php?title=2594:_Consensus_Time&diff=prev&oldid=293391 ''further modify'' the page]. Not that I'm a fan of perpetual-Incompleteness, but I just wanted to note the arse-wise editing priority. At least make the change you want and then (in the same edit-submission or a follow-up one once you're sure) ''then'' make it officially Complete. Not that I expect that IP to notice this assessment of their actions, but it makes me feel better to share my rather predictable thoughts on this...
