Well, it shows the wrong time (by 9 hours). Must be American... Non surprisingly, someone already opened an issue on github.

The fix is easy: add the letters 'UTC' after the time.

I propose opening a new repo for each time zone.

Spin up a Docker container for every timezone, and make sure to destroy the old ones every time the timezone is updated.

Also have at least three instances running, for redundancy and zero-downtime updating.

Branch maybe?

As usual, the easy fix is broken.

Right now, UTC is 10:39, not 03:39.

But hey, at least this page kinda works without JavaScript.

For backwards compat, open up v2.0.0 with the UTC added and backfill the data to the start of time.

Which start of time?

  -https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epoch_(reference_date)#Notable_epoch_dates_in_computing
  -https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chronology_of_the_universe#Planck_epoch

At 0, of course;)

A couple of the other issues are hilarious too.
