Processing error at some point? Wild, thank you merf this is interesting af
Yeah the background to this is most of the Q sites have a sort of master json file of all the Q posts. It has the timestamps, drop number, raw text, etc. of each drop.
I can't remember which site I scraped from (might have been qagg) but one of them had a Unix timestamp for each post, along with a string formatted datetime. This is redundant but may have been convenient to add for whatever reason.
I suspect someone had a script that went through and added the formatted time, and something changed with how they ran it and thus half the posts ended up in EDT instead of EST.
I remember building the clock and all the posts being out of alignment and it was cuz I used the formatted time instead of the Unix timestamp. Switched to the timestamp and everything lined up.
Before today I thought EST and EDT meant the same thing!
Makes sense.
Yeah I always thought they meant the same thing as well! Well shit
I'm still concerned that the library I'm using has some issues even doing basic EST. I'm digging more into it and it turns out people file a lot of bug reports related to offset issues...

Also I'm able to create some very simple issues where I just run an arbitrary timestamp through the library across four time zones, and the value isn't always switching. This is gonna keep me up all night.
