    Is that the UTC-0500 one?

        Depends… I grew up with TV stations advertising shows in Eastern/Pacific time zones while I lived in neither.

        I’ve also driven to both of those time zones and can picture how many time zones away they are in my head.

        Either one of those is easier for me.

          There’s an entire world of timezones that aren’t the US.

          It’s easier for you to remember your timezone in ± utc than making everyone else on the planet look up whatever the fuck est is every time we need to.

            Well I don’t live in the US, so yeah I know. Anyway, my point is that “easier” is subjective and very much based on a person’s experience.

            I’ve looked up UTC compared to my time many times and it just doesn’t stick. I don’t know what the current UTC time is but I could tell you what time it is in Newfoundland no problem. 🤷‍♂️

              You don’t need to. Jesus christ.

              UTC-3:30

              That’s all you need to remember to be able to refer anyone else to your time zone to any other timezone on the planet.
