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

    wouldn’t it be noticed immediately since space satellites would be out of sync, and GPS locations wouldnt be accurate etc?

      Yeah but they said all clocks so all the sats would still be in sync just like we had a leep second it would just be a leep minute.

      Its ambiguous to see how different people interpret it. My thought when I typed the question was that anything that is closer to Earth than the moon is considered part of “World Wide”, but I can see how some people would interpret satelites are not part of “World Wide”.
