Like if midnight was the middle of your solar day (and work day) like it would be in many countries, it’d be pretty tricky for a lot of things.
I see it as a giant hammer of a solution. The times you could just get used to be the day shift in the middle of stuff seems tough to me
Store hours:
Monday 20-24
Tuesday 0-6, 20-24
Etc
Or perhaps
Monday 20-06
Tuesday 20-06
But like bank transactions, rent being due on a certain day, like it all becomes tough in my opinion. Nevermind all the code that would be insanely broken
Actually code would probably be the easiest thing. Unless it’s very badly programmed computers don’t care about what the actual date is, the care how many seconds have passed.
The hardest thing to reprogram would be human culture. I suspect there would be massive pushback against the idea.
Like it changes at midnight?
I mean that’s not really the issue
The issue is like restaurants opening for dinner at 7AM and such
It would be a big cultural shift

I agree, but I think that 80% of the code I’ve seen in my life that isn’t based on OS time would be very broken. Factory automation and the like.
A fixable problem, but again largely unnecessary one imo
I hate DST though and think that either summer or winter time permanently would both be better than switching
