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.
Even flat earthers accept that there are time zones. Fancy being even dumber than them.
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!
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
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.
This kind of troll science is the caliber that makes actual conspiracies form when stupid people read it.
Sir, you have a dizzying intellect.
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.
“The Island of the Day Before” vibes
"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.
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.
wibbly-wobbly, timey-wimey stuff
Yes I've seen this referenced in several theoretical physics papers. Fascinating stuff. Really makes you think.
Physician what?
It's where children go when they misbehave.
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.
But by that logic
bash: three: command not found
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.
...and from The South
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
“How would you have felt yesterday if you hadn’t eaten breakfast or lunch?”
5am is a time where you could still be awake, doomscrollingly trying to finally sleep
It’s 5 AM somewhere… I need a drink
