Fun Fact: Swatch internet time actually made an appearance in Phantasy Star Online (the original Dreamcast version). This is the only known instance of Beats showing up in the real world.


Fun Fact 2: This post is the first post to ever be edited in Swatch Internet Time, and will have an accompanying bizarre timestamp.

tl;dr this is a time standard where time of day does not apply, and someone in England and the other Russia will read time the same regardless.

Um...
"There are no time zones, instead we all count based on midnight in an arbitrary location."

I just don't see how is this any different than a decimal UTC, except being in Switzerland. It is simply using a single timezone for everything.

But I am not complaining. I preffer it over broken timezones and I don't really like the partially sexagesimal partially base-24 system.

Ah, now you're giving me flashbacks to looking at the time on PSO and going "...Yeah... I don't know what that means either."

Apparently, I registered at @222- that's kind of neat, I guess.

So that's why the time at the top right looks so weird.

And apparently it's day/month/year instead of month/day/year.

This is going to confuse me to the point where it doesn't go well, especially if there's no option to change it back.

That's the point of Swatch internet time: never knowing what time it is ever again!
