From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

When you hibernate, "uptime" counts it even though the computer is off, as it's more of a "time since cold boot".
So I turn off my computer every day, but have an uptime of weeks now.
Nice, so you are turning off your computer and pad your "uptime". clap
I'm just explaining how people end up with high uptimes despite not keeping their computer on all the time. There is no purpose to "padding your uptime".
