Exactly. See, someone gets it. Just imagine the possibilities!

um, no. you would not be time traveling. you would be teleporting. and it's not really "tomorrow" in another part of the world on a universal time scale. it's not like she's eating lunch "in the future". she's eating lunch right now. "right now" just happens to be called 9pm in your city and 12pm in hers. it just so happens that mankind, in an attempt to standardize markets, trade, agriculture, etc. decided to develop time zones.

not mind blowing.

you took them seriously?

hmmm, they seemed to be serious.

hmmm, we weren't.

Jesus Christ guys, lighten up. I mention that I was talking to a friend in Tokyo and when I was reminded of the huge time difference it was really neat. You all come in here like "what, you're amazed that there are different time zones?"

Fvcking Christ...

Some people like to think they're really smart. Pointing out the obvious (while completely missing the point) will do that for some people. As someone who hasn't traveled much, timezones can really screw me up and I understand where you are coming from. It just seems like it should be the same time everywhere. When you're hit with the fact that it isn't, it can get weird.
