Time zones and abbreviations

People type abbreviations the way they type city names, so each one gets a page with a live clock. The ambiguous ones (IST means three different things 4½ hours apart, CST means three things 14 hours apart) say so at the top instead of quietly picking one.

GMT and UTC offsets

A fixed offset never shifts for daylight saving, but the places sitting at it change twice a year, so each page recomputes its list live.

United States, state by state

Including the awkward ones: Arizona does not change its clocks, Indiana only started in 2006, and five states are cut in half by a zone boundary.

Clocks that ignore time zones entirely

Two attempts at a day without them: one from 1793, one from 1998. Both divide the day by a thousand and both are live here.
