If the sun would stay up longer...maybe.

Do you even know how time works? The earth rotates at a certain speed, which we have broken down into 24.(whatever) hours, rounded off to 24. All you will do by going 10 to 10 is lengthening the time periods we would be using to measure that rate, not actually changing anything.

Less working hours aswell.
How? All you did was move the overall amount of time around.

That's the point, I'm way too busy to get everything done and sleep in 24 hours.
30 hours would work out great.
If your day is too boring, I suggest taking up a hobby.

If you get up at 7pm and work from 9am to 5pm, you'd now being be working from 9am to 5pm but with 2 hours less. your working hours would be 9am, 10am, 1pm, 2pm, 3pm, 4pm and finish at 5pm. So you'ed be working 6 hours per day instead of 8.

This thread was meant to be a serious thread
LOL.
So how would we make sure sunlight is consistent at certain times? You know, like with the current system.
Longer life spans? We'd still be alive for the same amount of time.

The total working time in the year remains the same and the total amount of time per day, by percent spent working, remains the same. All you did was change how it's described.

There is only so much room on the internet, and you’re filling up space with this?

Overall it may remain the same but per day it would be shortened.

The rising and setting of the sun is not going to conform to your time line .... So if you started this plan on a Sunday ... By Wednesday your midnight would be during the day at high noon normal time . ... So ...I don't get it ?

And unchanged over the course of a year. It's the exact same amount of time because you'd need to lengthen the seconds, minutes and hours in the day to align with the solar cycle. This is basic math.

Can we bank the extra 4 hours it takes the earth to spin around one time and then at the end of the year use our bank time to stop the world from spinning and all have a long sunny day at the beach?

Why would you need to lengthen the seconds, minutes and hours? As i explained in the post above, you just work at different day-light hours or work when it's dark. The 2 Months added per year would make up the solar cycle to the exact same as it is today.

24 hours for a earths rotation...cutting hours doesn't make the world speed up.
Noon would be...now noon one day, the next day, it would be happening at 4pm, the next at 8pm, etc
