A timezone fact (1 Viewer)

In honor of a lot of us losing an hour tonight

Anyways, the interesting fact is that there’s a part of Florida that’s only one hour ahead of a part of Oregon. Never mind that they’re pretty far from each other. I’m specifically talking about Florida panhandle, which is in central time, and the one part of Oregon in mountain time. Because why not right?

Why are the timezones like that?

It makes me curious to see what Canada’s is like

Why be simple when you can just not?

Whoever set up timezones like this needs to be fired

Wait do you live in Arizona? Or were you just born there?

If you do live there I appreciate the willpower it would take not to rub the lack of DST into everyone’s faces

I wasn’t sure if you still lived there or if you eventually moved back, because I felt like there was a similarly aged user in AZ

But I think I was thinking of @Horizonshard , you guys both give the same smart vibes so I get mixed up sometimes

Believe it or not, the lack of time change in Arizona is not the blessing everyone thinks it is.

If you work with anyone across state lines (like any big business), it just gets confusing when things like work meetings move around every six months!

Yeah but you don’t wake up feeling gross at least a few days a year

And if you work with anyone in the EU, or any other area that follows dst on a non American schedule (most countries that have dst), then you only need to switch twice a year, rather than the non Arizona’s and Hawaiians who deal with 4 changes a year. I have family in the EU so it gets funky just when calling them
