    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.

    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.

    In South Dakota, the Missouri River forms part of the time zone border between Central and Mountain time. This puts the state capital of Pierre (pronounced "peer") on Mountain Time, whereas the contiguous "sister city" of Fort Pierre is on Central Time. Since a lot of people commute from one part of the metro area to the other, you can imagine how confusing that might be for scheduling events.

    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.

      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.

    • @robbymacdonald8212
      @robbymacdonald8212 Před 4 lety +19

    • @Elitist20
      @Elitist20 Před 4 lety +17

      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.

    2:24 The reason why Arizona is like that is because reservations have a lot of independence to decide on local laws. Arizona doesn't observe daylight saving time. But the Navajo Nation does observe it. Technically that's not part of Arizona but it's own thing. It exists as an exclave inside more states that do observe it. The Hopi though, the enclave inside the Navajo Nation, do obverse daylight saving times. I visited the Arizona part of the Navajo nation during DST, and businesses on either side of the border will post their hours in both times, and basically anything scheduled uses both. They usually call it Navajo and Arizonan time.

    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.

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

    Both of you speak Standard English very clearly, probably the clearliest I have ever heard from native speakers of English. Moreover, your videos are all interesting...that speed in changing photos and topic sentences seem to make them nice to see again and again without my feeling bored.
