Soylentnews, Timestamps, and timezones

Accepted submission by Anonymous Coward at 2020-11-29 02:04:05 from the Soylentnews Internal Affairs dept.

This post is not intended to clutter the main page and is just intended as a side note.

Soylentnews posts the timestamps of articles and comments but it doesn't post the time zone. So when I submit a comment or read an article it says 5:34 PM for example but that doesn't really mean much to me if the time zone isn't mentioned.

I suggest the time zone should be next to the comment or article. 5:34 PM PT or 5:34PM UTC or whatever. That way I (anyone) can conveniently stick that into google and have it translate what that means in my time zone without having to think/jump through hoops to figure it out.

Thanks.
