Unironically.

Next time you hear a ridiculous description of the steps required for a ghost summoning or exorcism, just think about all the emails you have gotten from HR that detail the pointlessly overcomplicated process for clocking in and out of work.

Or when you hear Sony just lost all their emails and you are like… what does that even mean?

It’s all just spirit forces blasting back and forth on a cosmic scale of bullshit and silicon.

      Oh, it’s still like that. Mexico just got rid of DST which resulted in some fun bugs at my workplace. And then there’s this Lunar Standard Time thing being proposed… why it can’t just use UTC, I’ll never understand…

        Do you suppose folks on the moon will shift the clocks by an hour twice a year as well? I don’t like the idea of moon kids having to walk to school in the dark during the winter.

        But for real tho, maybe there are some tiny time dilation effects that require a separate time system for lunar missions. But I’m not sure, I’m not a physicist.

      there’s an actual whole book about date and time in PHP: php|architect’s Guide to Date and Time Programming

      I remember a video about the topic in general too, but don’t remember enough details to find it. It’s like nations have decided to mess up times and dates on purpose.
