My head canon is that it only seemed chaotic to us, as we do not have an awareness that can perceive anything but the present, or a few dimensions. Q has perception we do not. And Q didn't really try very hard to explain his actions to us.

He could still be an asshole, but we don't really have the reference point to make an informed decision on that.

    If they have a home planet that rotates and also has a tiled axis, they probably have their own time weirdness. If entities are on different sides of the planet from each other and want to use "small numbers" for time everywhere, they'll probably be doing something similar.

    As sensible as it would be to use a single clock for a planet, it isn't really person compatible. It's why the US still uses Fahrenheit for temperatures. Celsius is more sensible, but for a person 0=cold and 100=injury and death is too wide. Fahrenheit's 0=cold and 100=uncomfortable is appealing.
