Using the one and only Swatch Internet Time

As discussed in #105, our current reliance on UTC is a legacy bug inherited from 19th-century railway enthusiasts and people who enjoy being confused by "Daylight Savings." It is inefficient, chronologically biased, and—frankly—very "20th century."

The Earth’s rotation is inconsistent, the moon is slowly drifting away, and I refuse to let a meeting at 3:00 PM in London be 10:00 AM in New York when we could simply exist in a state of global synchronicity.

The Solution: Swatch Internet Time BEATS ↗

We are replacing all timestamps with .beats. By dividing the day into 1,000 equal units, we are effectively:

  • Abolishing Time Zones: There is no "there" there. There is only @now.
  • Optimizing the Human Bio-Processor: Our brains are decimal; our clocks should be too.
  • Preparing for the Mars Colony: Do you think Elon or the Martians are going to care about Greenwich? No. They will be @900 while we are @100.

I think we should change to the Swatch Internet Time. This would also reduce confusion on different Timezones, I mean what is UTC anyway?

2. People would likely be suspicious of the author in future and their future PRs would likely get many downvotes

Regarding 2 we could maybe create a nasty author board or something similar that would restrict future PRs in some way, reduce upvotes by x amount or so. That means if you do it once you get a slap on your wrist, but if you do it 3 times you get for all future PRs a 100, 1000, 10000 Downvote.
