Having each day be 3 minutes longer/shorter than the previous one is pretty crazy, even if it's mitigated by the fact that 1 Venusian day is ~243 Earth days.

That really makes me wonder how timekeeping would work for civilizations that evolved on planets with variable day length. Earth has variable periods of sunlight depending on latitude, but Earth's day length itself is relatively constant.
