I've been struggling for 2 days with this issue, thanks for explaining it so clearly!

I been learning to code and this had me pulling my hair out for ages, nobody said jack about how your local machines time affects the date input... everyone kept blabbing on about unix being utc which i'd obviously enter and not get the expected result. So many useless stackoverflow posts and finally a video that clearly just explains it.... my fault for not reading the docs in this case tbh. Thanks for the vid.
