Today on The Internet is Stupid: people are convinced my screenshots are fake because the date says November 5 when it's November 4 in America.

Reader: it is November 5 in Australia.

May I introduce you to the concept of timezones

@Daojoan I guess flat-earthers don't believe in time zones.

@Daojoan Wait until they learn there are countries on time zones that are on the quarters there when it's on the top and bottom of the hour in the US.

@Daojoan That is not how to explain time to Americans. The correct response is "that's because of daylight savings time". Several different idiocies combine, cancel out, and the objection fizzles out.

@Daojoan what. 🤨

(And actually, could you un-introduce me to timezones? I'm afraid I know them a little too well and they're killing my calendar. Thanks!)

I am guessing these are the same flat-earthers who hate Australia for not warning the US about 9/11...

Completely ignoring the fact that Australia is not real of course. I mean seriously, a giant island that has two different egg-laying mammals and has no active volcanos, need I say more?

Wait until they find out the beginning of next month is the official start of Summer time in Australia.

@Daojoan Timezones are in general a source for a great many headaches.
Cases in point: Russia, China, Greenland and Canada

How can it be different days when the earth is flat?!

(Maybe I should've hit capslock there?)

@Daojoan so far, touch wood, it feels like AI imagery has resulted in people being more skeptical about images they see, rather than becoming more gullible.
