Are these falsehoods "programmers" believe about timezones or just falsehoods this one guy had about timezones. Most of these 'misconceptions' would never have occurred to me to think.
- bmm6o 6y agoYeah, it really demonstrates how these lists live in a cultural context. Several of them have counter examples from my daily life. On the other hand, some of them come from not appreciating that a timezone is a cultural and legal construct of a region. Even if it were true that every extant timezone was a multiple of an hour off of utc, it would still be wrong to think that was always going to be the case.
