These Are the World's Strangest Time Zones

Subreddit is moderated by Oliver Bourdouxhe

Special thanks to my Patrons: Danny Clemens, Adam Kelly, Sarah Hughes, Greg Parham, Owen, Donna

Videos explaining things. Mostly over topics like history, geography, economics and science.

We believe that the world is a wonderfully fascinating place, and you can find wonder anywhere you look. That is what our videos attempt to convey.

Currently, I try my best to release one video every week. Bear with me :)

Whenever i travel from New Zealand to the USA It always feels so weird to leave in the morning, travel for 20 hours and arrive the same morning. It’s like time travel

*tries to educate myself on something I’m curious about*

*ends up confusing myself more*

[toribenita_kyo]

Because of time zones, a person can actually be older the someone who is older than them, or younger than someone who is younger than them. Time zones are weird.

"why is spain one hour ahead?"
"because he said so"

[tbonetpm]

Curvature of the Earth: *exists*

Time zones: *now it’s time to get funky*

It's true about Samoa and American Samoa
I stayed there for a while and it was weird to think that that both countries were watching the same sunset at the same time but on different days.

This literally confirms that concept that time isn’t real it’s a measurement.

I live in China and this is really stupid, even for Chinese.

I have been to Xinjiang in northwest China in the summer one year and the sun didn’t set until 11 pm. It was still daylight at 10:00 pm. I would jokingly call it “10 in the afternoon.”

Doctor: “You have 3 hours to live. What are you going to do?

Me: “Travel to China so I can live for 25 hours.”

The strangest for me is the stark difference between Russia's ELEVEN time zones vs China's singular time zone. Even more so because they are both centralized civilization states that share several longitudes.

the ad transition was one of the smoothest ive ever seen in my life

[isuckatnames]

Me which time zone are you in?

Chinese: yes

[georgeserbezis]

Imagine yourself sailing a ship in the Pacific Ocean, in 31/12/2020 and as you move too the left you celebrate new year 2021 and after a few hours you go back to 2020! It literally makes no sence.

I would say thanks to my parents for bearing me in a 1-timezone country.

Phone calls between time zones are the worst. One night I was lonely and tried to call the international date line. No luck☹️

[frosimas]

Uhhh... My brain... hurts... a lot....

When I flew from Australia to the USA for the first time concious of the long flying time I asked the travel agent for the quickest flight possible. She replied, "You are going to arrive before you leave. Is that quick enough for you?"

[Coteoki]

When is was on American Samoa I flew over to the other Samoa and the flight took about twenty minutes, but we arrived the day before we lifted
