I know it’s 5 o’clock somewhere. What about Friday? That would really help today. 😄

    In your imagination it can always be Friday! Don’t be one of those people who live in “real life” because it’s quite boring.

    The furthest time can be is ±12h from your local time (because of politics, weird timezones and summer/winter time I am sure it could maybe be up to ±14, but if all time was sensible it would be 12).

    So if it is 8:00 at your place, one side of the international dateline will have 20:00 yesterday and the other side is 20:00 today.

    If your current time is more than 12h away from Friday, then I am sorry to say it is not Friday anywhere on earth.

    Edit: I wrote this and went to sleep. Woke up thinking, wait this not right!

    Its ±12 for me because I live close to GMT+0. For people at the date line it would either be -0/+24 or -24/+0. So its actually -12-(your time zone)/+12-(your time zone).

    But regardless of where you live and what time it is, no place on earth can ever be ±24h from your local time, so when this post was new, it was still impossible.

    I’m writing this from the most easterly country west of the dateline. Time zone GMT+12. It will be Friday here before anywhere else. It’s still Wednesday.

          May I ask, why do you live there? Family? Highly paid job? Have you considered moving to a more warmer part of the Earth?

            Well, I was born here and I like it here. I’m using the heater because it’s late autumn and I leave the house at 6 AM. It’ll never get below freezing.

            When I was a boy and walking to the bus stop in winter to get to school, I used to stomp on frozen puddles to break the skin of ice. They don’t freeze any more.

              Where I’m from we have a major river flowing through the heart of our city and we turn it into a frozen ice rink every Winter. Works great until the windchill hits the minus forties or fifties, then it’s time to stay inside with a nice cup of hot tea

            Depends on the island but most places will get over 25C in the summer on some days. In the winter the southern and high altitude parts get to 0 or maybe a few degrees into the negative. The north usually doesn’t go below 9C.

    Neighbour has a dog called Friday. Get to see Friday 3-5 days a week. (Doesn’t make work any easier, but I always have a smile on my face when I see him)

    When you work shifts (7/7 24h) weekends are whenever you are off duty and Friday can be on Tuesday.

    So yeah, it is Friday somewhere for someone.

      Its Tuesday night (or technically very early Wednesday morning) as I write this

      For me it’s basically sunday, I was off yesterday and today.

      So for the guy who works my opposite shift, its currently Friday. He’ll be getting off in a couple hours and then he’ll enjoy his weekend when he wakes up on Wednesday and Thursday.

    Sure, days of the week are just a thing we made up. If you want to can call it Friday. Its all made up, other than some humans, nothing else cares.

    Apologies, on Earth? If so, impossible. As we know, the whole planet rotates 360deg in ~24 hours. Othrewise, please clarify the planet.
