The Mystery of Diomede Islands 🌍 How to Travel Back in Time ⏳

Did you know that you can "time travel" by walking just 4 kilometers? 🤯 In the middle of the Bering Strait 🌊 lie two tiny islands - Big Diomede 🇷🇺 and Little Diomede 🇺🇸. They’re so close that in winter ❄️, when the sea freezes, you can walk between them! But here’s the twist: crossing from one island to the other takes you across the International Date Line, where time literally shifts by up to 21 hours! 🕒➡️🕘
Discover why Big Diomede is known as "Yesterday Island" 🌅 and Little Diomede as "Tomorrow Island" 🌄. These two islands - so close yet so far - make the concept of time travel feel real!

So if I have a bad day, I can go back and have a Re-Do. That's awesome.

Time is relative. You dont gain or lose anything

[GonKillua]

You have it mixed up. Big Diomede is "Tomorrow Island" and Little Diomede is "Yesterday Island".

Big Diomede is (mostly) a day ahead, so it makes sense to be called "Tomorrow Island". Thus, traveling to Little Diomede is literally like traveling to "Yesterday".

It’s an arbitrary calendar thing. Time hasn’t really been altered. But it’s fun.

I’ll make an infinite loop and make it the same day everyday especially on my birthday and I could celebrate it everyday

[joshuakerlin]

You can celebrate every holiday twice.

Past and future... after living all day, i can relive same day in small diamede... or just skip thursday and jump to weekend.

Here's what happened to Big Diomede and Little Diomede:

1. The ocean between Big Diomede and Little Diomede has the drowneds and sea animals on it.
2. The drowneds are the underwater variants of zombies.
3. Some of the drowneds may find a chest with weapons and pick up tridents so they can impale people to death if people touch water.
4. In Minecraft, Drowneds' location be tracked in the Ocean Ruins.
5. Sea animals die of dehydration if they don't touch water.

I literally just watched a short with the same topic, and the SAME AI VOICE!! What a day I’m having! WOW! No words!

Also, on the last short, people were complaining that the person made the short too long for a short answer.

In other words, “When you have a minimum word of your essay”

So the concept of time really is meaningless unless you work a 9-5

Sarah Palin got roundly criticized and laughed at when she said you could see Russia from Alaska, but THIS is what she was talking about.

[darylbaker]

For a second I understood. But then I was like “wait what”

[Bluefrog]

Why did my brain think it was big and little diabetes 😭🙏

So that explains the: Travel the world in 80 days logic on how it was done one day earlier than expected

Die with a smile

Just use a boat, it is really fast on ice (Minecraft reference)
