No matter how many times this note gets posted my brain goes full left curve on mention of UTC

yeah i have no idea what time that is đ
which is ironic because ive been using a 24 hour clock my entire adult life. but the idea of adding (or subtracting?) 7 (or 8?) hours to that in my head is an impenetrable wall
UTC is just a fancy way of saying British time. Didnât we fight a war to get out from under the thumb of British rule?
UTC is a way of saying the date line has to be somewhere and it happens to go through Britian but we all share the same time. Times zones are a submission to Britain because they say we all have to wake up around 0600 local everywhere in the world because thatâs when the Britâs wake up. UTC is the standard and I wake up around 1300 UTC.
