Can we all just use a single time across the planet? Who gives a shit the sun rises at 3PM in Tokyo while it’s setting in Vancouver at again, 3PM.

No I’m saying like abolish the concept of time “zones” everyone uses UTC regardless of the correlation of 8AM to day or night.
Someone's guts will be torn out tomorrow and put up on a nice clean razor barbed wire ...
I was wondering what the fucking fuck messed up my brain - till I realized that some dev mixed up the timezone on one of our servers. Dunno how the dev managed it - but the end result was not funny.
Due to the difference in time strings the newer backup had an older timestamp - and vice versa.
Which - when you want to do mass clean up and migration - is a very fucked up thing.
I had to manually check dozens of backups to make sure I got the right ones...
-.- knife goes in, gut goes out. Thx Bart Simpson.
