"early morning of the 3rd" and "before dawn of the 3rd" definitely would not become 00:00—8:00 of the 2nd, and that's all that matters imo for the practical utility of delineating borders between days in the first place. i also like organizing things but i see absolutely no way to define "organized" for this lol

    I don't understand what you mean here, why would "before dawn of the 3rd" become 00:00-08:00 of the 2nd?

    I'm saying to shift what 00:00 is, to align with dawn(ish), so that a calendar day is comprised of a contiguous day followed by a contiguous night, which is how we typically intuit about days anyways when we aren't talking about time.

    I know there are practical modern issues with this, but this is a silly post about how unsatisfying it is for the day to start at midnight
