Anytime I hear about DST and timezones, I have to post this Computerphile video.
Not pictured is the cluster of buildings that is the Navajo Embassy to the Hopi Nation. I’ve been told that that “block” and the surrounding road observe DLS.
So if going from Phoenix to the Four Corners, there is a route where you’d theoretically need to change your clock 6 times before leaving the state.
For comparison, the deepest recursive of this phenomenon for islands and lakes is a 4th order island
Theyre not super descriptive on the exact location and I can’t quite match it up with an exact land feature on mapping app.
Is it Big Hips Island?
And if your phone syncs with your car, your car’s time will flip back and forth a lot.
An extraterrestrial visiting Earth would scratch its head in wonder.
If they have a home planet that rotates and also has a tiled axis, they probably have their own time weirdness. If entities are on different sides of the planet from each other and want to use “small numbers” for time everywhere, they’ll probably be doing something similar.
As sensible as it would be to use a single clock for a planet, it isn’t really person compatible. It’s why the US still uses Fahrenheit for temperatures. Celsius is more sensible, but for a person 0=cold and 100=injury and death is too wide. Fahrenheit’s 0=cold and 100=uncomfortable is appealing.
That probably explains why so many people and countries have adopted Fahrenheit 😜
Probably not because they would have seen our tilted axis on the way in.
Timezones should be diagonal lmao
And change over the year!
What’s the difference between pink DST and cream-colored DST?
If your DST is pink, go see a doctor.
You can get a creame for that
Are you sure you want to know?
We don’t talk about such things in my family…
Different time zones. Pink is PST(-8), cream is mountain(-7)
Island in an island.
