2 Sun dials don't work on the globe model. Axial tilt would cause the solar noon shadow to point in drastically different directions through the 4 seasons.

Very nice. If I had the ability to sticky other user comments I would sticky this.
Look at my comment concerning analemmas. If he was correct, you would have to contially adjust your sundials position all year.

Technically you do but it’s infeasible so a bit of error is acceptable when you’re using an imprecise instrument like a sun dial
My claim was the globe model would cast shadows in radically different directions between spring and fall (resulting in many hours of error). The local sundial I use is never more than 15 minutes off, which can be explained by the an analemma.
You're a fucking retard.
