Transcription

A map of the world with vertical lines marking the time zones from UTC-12 to UTC+12. It has a legend:

Wrong Time

"Natural time zones" are 15° in longitude. Land in red observes a time other than the zone it lies within. Smaller islands depict their 12 nautical mile territorial sea, for visual effect. In some cases this includes a state's archipelagic waters.

Time zones are fundamentally wrong and immoral. Only the Time Cube is correct.

Oh man, I did not know that Qud had a TimeCube reference...

If you want a real trip click through the different archive dates on this site. Dude goes through a whole progression of who he's pissed off at month to month.

It's great. He adds them randomly in the middle of rants too.

Absolute classic.

I would have voted for the TimeCube guy over Trump.

There are four simultaneous 24 hour days! It's bellybutton math.
