 I would be in favor of metric time, uniform across the surface of the Earth and disconnected from it's rotation... with a mapping to your local sun angle that is more precise than time zones are and which can get updates from the International Earth Rotation Service (ya know, the people that keep the Earth rotating). 
 The ERS is staffed entirely by Fat Bottomed Girls

 Unixtime is almost this, except that unixtime replays some seconds (the leap seconds). 
 I need my work days to be shorter. Much shorter. Can you ask those guys to double or triple the rotation?
Just as long as it’s not so fast we get thrown off 
 Rotators have the power to reverse time. Few. 
 Would you be in favour of this time system if the place where you live was not the mapped as the usual day light hours? 
For example it’s 6am here now and 10 pm on the other side of the world. Who gets the traditional ’daylight’ times? 
 There is no mapping to hours and minutes.  Those things are abandoned.  I said "metric".  One day sunrise is 1730251233 the next day it is 1730337648.  You then put that into your own local mapping to local hours/minutes if you can't let go of the past, or just to an sunangle if you can.

 the number (Unix time?) is hard to parse but that could be improved.

i like global standards that make it easier to understand each other.  
 not as genius as my idea

currently the powers that be are trying to move humanity to 4 day work week but my idea is to end weekdays and simply work on odd or even days ( two shifts )

this will double road capacity for traffic since people would only work on alternating days

but when i tell people about this they are too stupid to see the benefit

their IQs are so low they literally can only understand "all i think about on friday is going home so i want to have friday off"

human stupidity is infinite as Einstein said  
 honestly for me trying to explain anything to humans is like trying to teach a polar bear how to ride a bicycle

these animals exist in a completely different dimension from me  
 I am stationary.  You are all rotating!  Ouch, ouch ouch.. 
 i am super stationary here ! i see u all nuts in earth going round n round continuously from my window every hour
