Another fun fact about timezones: if the government abolishes DST one year, and then moves some timezones an hour the next year, it creates a wild mess. Especially when you're building an Android app. Especially when it's the early 2010s so the timezone database is built into the system image but most devices that run your app don't receive system updates at all.

Instead of picking the timezone with the correct offset and no DST, many people would adjust the time itself so the wrong timezone and the wrong unixtime cancel each other out so the clock "looks right". Not fun when you're doing math with timestamps, some of which are local and some come from the server.
