I've gotten so sick of working with people in multiple timezones that I've just started using UTC for everything.

Fuck you for living in a different sliver of the planet. You aren't gonna make me do all the math. I'm bringing you down with me.

Let's see them tremble when daylight savings time ends.

Your comment made me realize how we take for granted that everyone at least measures time the same way. Imagine the clusterfuck if there was metric time & imperial time.

Thank colonialism

Imagine we determined seasons based on the birds flying into a meadow in Japan

Or we measured days in quarters like Thailand (France forced their neighbours to use 24h time but since Thailand…then Ayutthaya and later Siam were never colonized they kept their weird clocks)

Russia never adopted leap years so that’s why Russian New Year is at a different time than the rest of us

Where did you get that about Russia? It's incorrect
