After studying the strptime timezone %Z situation for a bit, I have concluded that both time and computers were a mistake.

  @bert_hubert I maintain PHP's date/time string parser, and I feel your pain. Even more so because people think it can just parse anything you throw at it. It's pretty good, but it's not magic.

  "In Dublin's official timezone data, for example, tm_isdst is zero in their summer and one in their winter, the opposite of the norm, but not on RHEL, which "normalizes" the data. If you lived in Dublin and used Fedora, and made an invalid assumption about tm_isdst values, you would not be on time for tea." - from https://www.redhat.com/en/blog/brief-history-mktime
