Time zones? What, like I step over a line on the ground and I’m in the future? Pfffft.
It’s so much worse than that. The people in the GMT +13 time zone had 19 hours to warn us about 9/11 in 2001, and they did nothing!
Well yeah, they’re all old and forgetful. They could come West and be younger but they don’t care. They’re old.
Wouldn’t they get younger more quickly if they moved east across the much-shorter distance to the international date line?
This is far too technical. Are you one of those “scientists” I hear about? :)
I did done a science or two in my time, but I ain’t no scientist.

Screw you! $1 = $1
Why is there never an English pedant around to weigh in on these things when we actually want one?
A mouth’s a mouth.
…and from The South
Comes a tale of a mister

And encountered the mouth of his sister
“What are timezones?”
People assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect, but actually, from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint, it’s more like a big ball of wibbly-wobbly, timey-wimey stuff.
Most people think time is like a river that flows swift and sure in one direction, but I have seen the face of time and I can tell you, they are wrong. Time is an ocean in a storm.
That explains a lot. It turns out I’m not depressed. I just have temporal sea sickness.
wibbly-wobbly, timey-wimey stuff
Yes I’ve seen this referenced in several theoretical physics papers. Fascinating stuff. Really makes you think.
Physician what?
It’s where children go when they misbehave.
Even without time zones, 5am is an hour from the end of my work night. I’m absolutely sitting around on my phone at that point. I just looked at the clock and it’s 5:02am, so it legit would have been 5 on the dot when I saw this.
That’s the same time my alarm rings
It’s 5 AM somewhere… I need a drink
