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.
If you go to the North pole and run around in circles you can easily get years into the past.
That’s a common misconception. Magnetic north declination from geographic north increases to its maximum as one approaches the geographic north pole (by definition). Yes, technically, your geographic time may reverse by years, but the increase in magnetic time, being equal and opposite, will effectively cancel out that effect.
Sir, you have a dizzying intellect.
Thanks! I just thought it was from drinking.
This kind of troll science is the caliber that makes actual conspiracies form when stupid people read it.
Thank you. I’m sorry.
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.
New Zealand… We demand you tell us what the future is like.
I’m sorry for the bad news, but it’s terrible in the future. Just like every other day
You joke, but if the US had done that for COVID, things would have been a lot better. Sure, it’s the right answer for the wrong reasons, but it wouldn’t be a change for the worse compared to the current methods.

Twenty dollars is twenty dollars.
Screw you! $1 = $1
According to that logic, $2 would be $2 and that’s insane!
But by that logic, $three would be = 3 dollars.

God I love Lemmy.
I think he’s using csh.
Why is there never an English pedant around to weigh in on these things when we actually want one?
A mouth’s a mouth.

Comes a tale of a mister
Who brought his soul to a glory hole
And encountered the mouth of his sister
A hole is the goal
Even flat earthers accept that there are time zones. Fancy being even dumber than them.
“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.
wibbly-wobbly, timey-wimey stuff
Yes I’ve seen this referenced in several theoretical physics papers. Fascinating stuff. Really makes you think.
Physician what?
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.
It’s where children go when they misbehave.
Don’t embarrass yourself any further.
I like to think I would be that funny if I was pretending to be dumb.
We can dream.
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.
5am is a time where you could still be awake, doomscrollingly trying to finally sleep
It’s 5 AM somewhere… I need a drink
