As in if say it says that a comment was written at 7:35pm, are we talking EST? CST? GMT? UTC+08:50?

Oppo is housed in a data center on the moon

Sooo.. MCT?

Just a wild guess but since Gawker media is based in NYC I'm thinking default time is EST.

Laird Andrew Neby Bradleigh > Jeremy Bloyd-Peshkin

Uh Oh... We might all be time travellers then.... Perhaps you responded to this before I even wrote it?

Jeremy Bloyd-Peshkin > Laird Andrew Neby Bradleigh

I replied tomorrow.

Pretty sure it's EST.

A lot of data centers are moving to GMT due to the fact a lot of big internet based companies havedata centers across the country and it makes managing them much easier.

Source: I work for one of those companies.

Good point, thanks mate. It's rather nice to know if someone responded to something I wrote 8 hours ago or if it was just 2 hours ago.

But I bet Jezebel forced Gawker to give them their own time zone

Laird Andrew Neby Bradleigh > Leadbull

Two votes on EST now, I'd say that makes it official.

Eastern time zone. At least, that's what the timed posts use. Which is probably why, at least for a time, newer posts say, "9 minutes ago." That way, it doesn't matter where you live.

Laird Andrew Neby Bradleigh > Manuél Ferrari

PMT? (Period Mean Time, usually correct about once a month.. and if it's late you'd better run?)

12/03/2013 at 21:21

HAHAHAHA

That sounds like a better answer than mine. :)

Laird Andrew Neby Bradleigh > TheBloody, Oppositelock lives on in our shitposts.
12/03/2013 at 21:23

Well, it's not GMT. That doesn't correspond with when I write most of my posts (I live in Norway. CET (GMT+1))

Leadbull > Laird Andrew Neby Bradleigh
12/03/2013 at 21:23

I'm in CST, and it's always an hour ahead of me.

Heh, oops was thinking server time.

12/03/2013 at 21:25

I wish we could set our own time zone.. but oh well :)

Oh are we now?

Laird Andrew Neby Bradleigh > TheBloody, Oppositelock lives on in our shitposts.
12/03/2013 at 21:27

Ahh... yeah the server probably runs on GMT, but that's hardly relevant for us users is it :P

Laird Andrew Neby Bradleigh > Jeremy Bloyd-Peshkin

But I wrote it at the end of the universe, you know that nice restaurant they have there?

Ssh you're using logic...

Laird Andrew Neby Bradleigh > TheBloody, Oppositelock lives on in our shitposts.
12/03/2013 at 21:31

Well, uhh.. yeah? And I sure hope the server uses logic as well :P But then again, this IS Kinja.. soo.. yeah..

Suddenly something dawned on me.. what if we have spies from Jesusbelle here on Oppo??? Frak... now I'm scared as hell..

Manuél Ferrari > Laird Andrew Neby Bradleigh
12/03/2013 at 21:36

Don't worry. We probably do, and they've probably been here for a long time. Nothing has happened so far so we should be ok, at least I hope so...

It's the chin, isn't it?

You watch Arrow?

Laird Andrew Neby Bradleigh > TheBloody, Oppositelock lives on in our shitposts.
12/03/2013 at 21:39

WTF? Suddenly you go all half Icelandic on me? Must be some sort of reference I don't quite understand. And I usually call them Alver (Álfar) :P

Laird Andrew Neby Bradleigh > Arch Duke Maxyenko, Shit Talk Extraordinaire
12/03/2013 at 21:41

I'm not sure what it is.. perhaps the chin yes... I've never watched Arrow, but I've seen it's on the US version of netflix (which I've haxxored my way into even though I live up in the cold North) though... Is he in it?

Laird Andrew Neby Bradleigh > Manuél Ferrari
12/03/2013 at 21:42

I think I'll survive. I've made a few comments over there, comments that have been recommended as well.. so.

Watching a documentary on Iceland.

Barrowman is quite vital in it

Laird Andrew Neby Bradleigh > TheBloody, Oppositelock lives on in our shitposts.
12/03/2013 at 21:46

Ahh.. spooked me a bit there. It's not a secret that I'm a Norwegian.. But it still freaks me out when people suddenly uses Sandinavian/nordic words :)

Laird Andrew Neby Bradleigh > Arch Duke Maxyenko, Shit Talk Extraordinaire
12/03/2013 at 21:47

Well, see you later Oppo.. Arrow it is.

If only people would stop commenting and stuff on this simple question about time zones..

35-40 comments and a metric ton of stars must be a new record for me :P

I just went over there and clicked on a post with Paul Walker in the headline

I was relieved to see they are good people. The post had other topics too. Only one commenter mentioned Paul Walker, and her comment was thoughtful.

My family is originally from Sweden so always had an interest in Nordic type stuff.

Laird Andrew Neby Bradleigh > TheBloody, Oppositelock lives on in our shitposts.
12/03/2013 at 22:01

Ahh.. Då förstår jag, du måste överbringa mina hälsningar till din familj och önska dom en riktigt god jul då.

(If you can't read swedish you'll just use google translate yeah?) :)

Ek moes gebruik van Google vertaal egter om uit Suid-Afrika ek praat ander tale. Geseënde Kersfees vir jou en jou gesin ook.

Do you live in South Africa? I don't speak Afrikaans, but I have friends from Belgium and Holland, so I think I understood most of that.. :)

Live in the US now, however I go back when ever I have time/money it.

Laird Andrew Neby Bradleigh > TheBloody, Oppositelock lives on in our shitposts.
12/03/2013 at 22:22

I see. But, I need to now if I understood what you wrote... you said "I had to use Google translate, however/but outside South Africa I speak other languages (Something iffy about my translation there I think). Merry christmas to you and your family too." or something similar?

TheBloody, Oppositelock lives on in our shitposts. > Laird Andrew Neby Bradleigh
12/03/2013 at 22:24

Close enough, I said
"I had to use google translate however being from South Africa I speak other languages. Merry Christmas to you and your family as well."

Laird Andrew Neby Bradleigh > TheBloody, Oppositelock lives on in our shitposts.
12/03/2013 at 22:31

Ahh. Yeah, I'd say I was close enough ;) But if you speak Afrikaans and English it should be rather easy for you to learn swedish. The only reason I understand Afrikaans and Flemish/Dutch is because I speak Norwegian and English (and can read German). Anywho, I've ramled on long enough. Nice talking to you. Have a nice day :)
