Every single clock, even those that are air gapped. Countdown timers lose a minute, stopwatches add a minute. Biological clocks aren’t affected.

    Came here to say this. Hopefully the systems in place are resilient enough to handle a leap minute (especially since they already exist), but it would definitely cause some instant issues.

    The average person probably wouldn’t notice, but anyone working with time sensitive equipment would.

      Do leap minutes really exist? I’ve never heard of that before? I don’t think we’ve ever had 60 leap seconds since the inception of the idea.
