It's called time zones, the world isn't your country. Welcome to the future.

Wouldn't it be better to save the publication datetime as a Unix timestamp, then convert it based on the reader's timezone?

Yeah, but since the author leaves in EU I think it’s just a typo

It's not the 20th in Germany yet.

Heh sorry I put the date there in the draft phase because I planned for publishing on Tuesday.

It got done earlier and I pushed it out in a bit of a hurry because I was leaving and forgot to update the date.

I have fixed it.

The author might be in Aus/NZ.

The author writes that he's in Berlin/DE.

Then it's simply wrong. In Berlin, at the time of writing this comment (which is anyways after he published the article) is September 19, 2022 :)

They forgot what day it is

It's probably not correcting for timezones.

Either that or the programmer forgot what day is today.
