Anyone who works nights, or an evening job that runs late like a bar or something, is currently used to having the date change in the middle of their "day". I don't think it's really that big of a deal. It would be super weird at first, but kids who grew up with it would find our current system just as bananas as we would find this.

Yeah but you still mentally consider it to be the same day as the preceding day, until you go to sleep. (Unless you stay up all night but that's very uncommon, my sympathy to night shift workers)

If the date changes in the middle of the day, does that make the latter half of the day "tomorrow" from the first half? That's absurd to me.
