Don't forget to actually click on the actual link, nordvpn.com/mapmen and use the promo code "mapmen" to get 75% off NordVPN. First cos it's a genuinely really good deal for a genuinely really useful thing, but also because you'll be supporting the channel and it'll allow us to make more Map Men. So thank you thank you thank you! But thirdly because it's genuinely a really good offer!

If I recall, I believe I've heard that Arizona's timezone sectioning is even weirder than it first appears. The state does not follow daylight saving. But some native American reservations do. But within those reservations, there are small chunks of land (and I've even heard it's as granular as specific buildings) which are owned by government, thus being state or federal property, thus NOT following daylight saving. So a building is ignoring daylight saving, contained within a small-ish chunk of land that IS following daylight saving, contained within a state that IS NOT following daylight saving, contained within a country that IS following it.

[@madjayhawk]

Arizonian here. We(the rest of Arizona) do not care about what is happening on the reservation up there in NE Arizona because we do not go there and not too many folks actually live there. But mess around with DST and you might have a civil war on your hands.

Small detail, but actually in 1880 time in Ireland was set at Dublin Mean Time, which was GMT minus twenty five minutes. This lasted until after the 1916 Rising, when it was decided to standardise them to make telegram communication more convenient.

Two points RE: Kiribati 1) It was Dec 30th they skipped, not Dec 31st. 2) The reason was due to trade with trade with Australia but due to administration within the country itself. Kiribati is made up of 3 Island groups, the Gilbert, Phoenix and Line Island. The 1st 2 groups were to the east of the International Date Line, the Line was to the West. Therefore if the Gilbert or Phoenix Island wanted to liase with the Line Islands they could only do so for 4 days of the week due to the International Date Line. On Dec 30th, the Line Islands moved to west of the International Date Line joining the other two Island groups as part of Kiribati. Samoa was the one that moved due to trade with AUS/NZL.

[@timothycuff605]

Those horizontal lines follow state lines (e.g. the horizontal red line for example follows the border between Queensland, NSW, Southern Australia and the NT). I’m assuming this is just to keep each state roughly in its own time zone for the sake of simplicity. Kinda silly, but not nearly as silly as some of the ones mentioned in this video.

It's to do with trade. Broken Hill in NSW does trade with Adelaide which is much closer than Sydney so it follows SA time zones. NT does trade with QLD and is so far north it doesn't recognise daylight savings.

[@Elitist20]

The Central Time Zone is odd enough - it should be GMT +9 (Western is +8 and Eastern is +10) but it's actually +9.30. But in summer South Australia adopts daylight saving (+10.30) while the Northern Territory doesn't. And in the Eastern Time Zone Queensland also doesn't adopt it, while New South Wales, Victoria, the ACT and Tasmania do (+11), giving 5 time zones. And there's also an unofficial 'Central Western Time Zone' (+8.45) around the WA/SA border village of Eucla.

1:10 Here in Newfoundland we scoff at your 'Hours from GMT' and have a nice half hour difference. Because why not

[@g.anthonybenjamin281]

Ian Austin i was scrolling through the thread, hoping someone would mention Newfoundland! I grew up and now live again in the MetroDetroit area, where we enjoy life near the border with our friends in Canada, and watching the CBC; whenever they had ads for upcoming shows, they would mention the starting time and inevitably had “one half-hour earlier in Newfoundland”!

[@ImmortanDan]

Been there, nice place. Also can confirm.

[@Krzyszczynski]

Inhabitants of New Zealand's Chatham Islands scoff at your over-simplified half-hours. Their clocks are set a quarter of an hour ahead of those on the "mainland".

[@DokterKattenbakvulling]

Love this series, perfect sense of humour and linguistic finesse. "Their time travelling tactic triggered a trend"? That's terrific.

Ever heard about Baarle-Nassau at the Dutch & Belgian border? It is a super complicated, rather unique border. You may be interested in it!

I lived in Greenwich for the first 26 years of my life, I always thought I lived in SOUTH london. Thank you for correcting me, i'm so much happier now i've found out found out i'm an east londoner. I shall shortly be returning my Millwall season ticket & taking out a West Ham one instead. I must also now be somehow related to the Krays. Thanks

I feel somewhat ripped that you didn't mention Australia's colossally embarassing time zone situation where we go during the non-DST times from three sensible time zones, to during DST winding up at about eleven.

[@Liggliluff]

Three "sensible" time zones. Where it's +8 in the west, +10 in the east, and the very sensible +9½ in the middle

@@CopyableOakI stayed at Mundrabilla station for a while, which is very near to the border at Eucla, and at the time the road crew re doing the Eyre highway was set up nearby and close to the Mundrabilla roadhouse. Eucla was on one timezone, the roadhouse was on another, the road crew was yet another and the family of five at Mundrabilla station were on their own timezone. Each was about 15 minutes apart.

Friends of mine had three boys, and to help get them out the house for school on time, the kitchen clock was always set 5 minutes fast. They never told the boys, but eventually they twigged and it became known as Sinderby Time. (That's the name of their village). Even though the boys have all left home for pastures new, they still use Sinderby Time.

[@jacobfreeland6881]

I do the same thing; my watch is about three minutes fast. Set it that way by accident, realized how helpful it was, never corrected it.

[@lukasmickevicius2173]

"In Tibet in winter the sun doesn't rise until 10 AM." So they kinda relocate to Finland.

[@dhruvgroove]

oh man! transition to the ad was really fun. 😆😆

[@wasukoysiripong9738]

In Tibet, they simply get up at 11am, then work from 1pm to 10pm, then go to bed at 3am. It might sound weird to us, but if you had been doing this all your life, you wouldn't feel that it's weird at all. Having a single time zone across the country simplifies things a lot, because instead of saying "Let's meet online at 3pm Beijing Time", they only have to say "Let's meet at 3.". Xinjiang has set its own time zone since before the national one was declared, that's why it uses two time zones.

[@spencerc7819]

Kiribati's shift was also motivated by tourism considerations--the islands extended far to the east of the IDL and thus would have been the first location to enter the new millenium in 2000 (or 2001).

I went my first 3 years of school grades 1 to 3 in a small town of College Corner, Ohip / West College Corner, Indiana. The school grounds were in two state, 3 counties, 4 townships. The centerline of the Gym was also was the Ohio/ Indiana State Line. Indiana students had to buy their school books but the Ohio students got them free. The State Line was also the Eastern/Central Standard time zone line. On one side of a street in the town was 1 hour different from the otherside of the street.

@Jay Foreman, look op up the Belgian/Dutch town of Baarle. Perfect subject for a video!

Naaaaaah, it’s been done on KZbin a million billion times. Also, we’ve already done an enclaves episode, so it’d end up being really similar.

@@JayForeman Good point, but cooking your meals in your kitchen in Belgium and then proceed to take a shit in your toilette in the Netherlands (all in the same house) is quite fascinating to me. Anyways, your videos are absolutely brilliant, keep up the good work, sad to see you guys go (Brexit).

My favourite - and nearest - time zone oddity is the ferry crossing from Quebec into Newfoundland. St. Barbe in Newfoundland is on UCT-3:30 and Blanc Sablon in Quebec is on UCT-5:00. If you leave Blanc Sablon and head east on the hour and a half ferry ride to St. Barbe you arrive at the same time you left. If you go west you arrive 3 hours after you left on your 1 and a half hour ferry ride.

[@Xmanpl1]

It the same with 1 hour flight from London to Amsterdam, and its hardly surprising tbh

[@kartchner7]

Having been born and raised in Arizona, I have lived this my whole life. The split time zones in the north are because the Navajo tribe are split across multiple states and chose to be on daylight savings and Arizona does not. The insert inside that stays on Arizona time is the Hopi tribe, a different reservation. What you didn’t note is there is actually a Navajo nation tribal island inside the Hopi reservation. So it’s possible to have az time, daylight time, az time and back to daylight time in an hour drive.
