~~The furthest time can be is +-12h from your local time (because of politics, weird timezones and summer/winter time I am sure it could maybe be up to +-14, but if all time was sensible it would be 12).~~
~~So if it is 8:00 at your place, one side of the international dateline will have 20:00 yesterday and the other side is 20:00 today.~~
~~If your current time is more than 12h away from Friday, then I am sorry to say it is not Friday anywhere on earth.~~
Edit: I wrote this and went to sleep. Woke up thinking, wait this not right!
Its +-12 for me because I live close to GMT+0. For people at the date line it would either be -0/+24 or -24/+0. So its actually -12-(your time zone)/+12-(your time zone).
But regardless of where you live and what time it is, no place on earth can ever be +-24h from your local time, so when this post was new, it was still impossible.
You're thinking too small, it could be Friday on the Moon or on Mars! At least until they finish deciding on an official time zone...
Friday is something invented by humans, so it's not Friday anywhere else.
Humans have rover moving around on Mars, from the rovers perspective wouldn't Friday be our of sync with earth days?
they likely just use epoch time and any time sensitive data will be converted to the local timezone in mission control
