Comment on xkcd #2867: DateTime
You should care if it’s wrong.
at the resolution of clock drift in milliseconds when I’m running reports that are, at most, only specific to the day?
Clock drift? No. Time zones? Probably.
not really time zones either outside the edge case where a data point exists within delta of midnight so that the time zone drift would result in a date change
Time zones change. Relative times without time zones don’t make sense.
