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.

Yes, but do you know how many time zones there are in the Soviet Union?

Because I already asked once.

Is a video the right tool to answer a question when the answer is literally a couple characters?

No, but a track from Negativland's best album is fun to listen to.

Is there any escape from noise?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

I'm recording all the noise...

Eleven. It's not even funny.
