A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Posts must be original/unique
- Be good to others - no bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Reminds me of developing with time zone considerations 15-20years ago
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.
