If the Earth is changing rate and you don't change the clocks.

Again you prove you are clueless about what is being changed.

You almost caught a clue, Space***. The UTC clock _is_ changed, by
adding leap seconds once in a while, in order to keep noon at noon.
The TAI time, which is more accurate, is not changed. It would
appear that TAI time is 33 seconds fast, but it is UTC that is
running slow, because of the leap seconds inserted because Earth is
running slow.

You are so lost is is funny.
You are actualyl saying the Earth is slow instead of saying
a human made clock is fast.

How are you going to define 1 second? The time from noon to noon
divided by 86,400? The time from noon to noon when? Yesterday to
today? The time from noon to noon 50 years ago? There is a
difference, and it does matter.

The rotation rate of Earth is somewhat irregular, and is slowing
down. The day to day uncertainty in the length of a day is +/- 3 ms
per day. Atomic clocks are accurate to parts per quadrillion. What
you are saying is that if I have a quality quartz watch which keeps
perfect time, and my grandparents have this wind-up clock with a weak
spring that runs a little fast when first wound but rather slow when
wound down, I should be synching my watch with my grandparents' old
clock. After all, they've been using it for decades!

You are basically saying Nature is wrong and human clocks
are correct about "what" time it is on Earth.

No, human made clocks deliberately designed to be accurate clocks are
now more accurate than the spinning of a big rock in space.

LOL
You truly love to ignore Natural processes to support your
rubber ruler philosophy huh?
LOL

Which second should we use? 1/86,400 of today, or 1/86,400 of
yesterday, or 1/86,400 of a day 100 years ago?

UTC time, upon which local civil time is based, is adjusted because
the Earth is running slow. This is precicely in order to keep noon
happening at noon.

No ***.
And for atomic time to tell us when it is actually noon still,

That is not its (TAI time's) purpose.

It has to be adjusted also like it always has been

Wrong. They tried doing that for a while and it caused lots of
problems, so they stopped doing that at the end of 1971, when they
went to the current system of allowing atomic clocks to keep accurate
time, and leap second offsets in UTC for civil time's noon to be at
noon.

Get with modern times! You've posted info that was obsolete in the
1970s, 1960s or even 1950s in this thread!

Oh ya sure Mikey, we were all using Internet time in the 70's.
LOL
Poor Mikey does not get that atomic clocks must also be adjusted
so atomic time also matches noon when noon occurs.
Poor Mikey does not get that if noon did not match the atomic
clocks that GPS would also start to fail.
Poor Mikey does not understand anything about clocks.
Poor Mikey can not even understand the most important function
of a clock and thinks that a twins clock that is years off is
more accurate than the Earth clock that is only adjusted by a few seconds
a year only to match the actual Earth rotation to noon.
Sheesh Mikey.
Stay clueless forever..
The twins are the same ages moron.
The clock malfunctioned. (ding ding)
Dance Mikey Dance.
LOL
