Programmer Humor

not a programmer myself, but actually fuck you, UTC was the correct choice, anything that isn't UTC is a wrong choice, and i will literally fight to my death over this.

Timezones are dumb and stupid, and you cannot convince me otherwise, so far the single best argument i've heard is "well actually, the hands on a clock and the numbers themselves roughly represent the cycle of the sun in the sky during the day." Which is pretty good, until you realize that clocks tend to be circles, and you can often just rotate them. And suddenly, the numbers now match up perfectly. But i've also never once heard of someone caring about that specific feature, so uh. Good riddance frankly.

Timezones kind of made sense back in the day, when the sun was the only realistic timing system, and pre internet, when people stayed where they were. But now that people don't do that, and the internet tends to do this thing where it exists. I refuse to believe it makes more sense to have timezones than not.

"Hmmm yes please, i would like to order the time here, but halfway across the globe please" - statements dreamed up by the utterly insane.

ok that concludes my rant. Now i'm going to go set FUCKING DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME on my clock because FOR SOME REASON THE TIME JUST CHANGES HALFWAY THROUGH THE YEAR FUCK YOU.
