86,400 is not a perfect cube (or any other power) so unless you change the number of seconds in a day you’re not getting a way to perfectly represent 3 different sized time measurements in the same circle without something like 6=30m/30s

We could just change time… again… to make seconds slightly longer and have there be 85,184 seconds in a day. And then 44 seconds in a minute and 44 minutes in an hour and 44 hours in a day…. But 44 is a lot of numbers to put around a clock just because you’re too lazy to multiply by 2 or 5, shit 2nd graders can do so…. Nah.
