Datetime Systems Time Difference
EVENT #1 HAPPENED AT TIME T₁. OKAY. THEN EVENT #2 HAPPENED AT TIME T₂. MHMM. HOW WOULD YOU CALCULATE HOW MUCH TIME ELAPSED BETWEEN T₁ AND T₂? NORMAL PERSON: T₂ MINUS T₁. ANYONE WHO'S WORKED ON DATETIME SYSTEMS: IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO KNOW AND A SIN TO ASK!
A stick-figure comic asks how to calculate the time elapsed between two events. A normal person simply subtracts T₁ from T₂, while anyone familiar with datetime systems reacts dramatically, joking about time zones, calendars, daylight saving time, and other edge cases. It is sent as a reaction to the frustrating complexity of date and time programming.
